Boom x5! That is right Bruin fans, the UCLA Basketball team as just landed their 5th commitment to the 2017 class as 5-star 6’8″, 190 lbs. small forward Kris Wilkes (Indianapolis, IN/North Central HS) has pledged to play in Westwood.
Along with UCLA, Wilkes had Illinois and Indiana in his final three.
