UCLA Basketball Recruiting: Charles O’Bannon Jr. Picks USC Over UCLA

The house continues to divide. Charles O’Bannon, Jr. (Bishop Gorman HS/Las Vegas, NV), son and nephew of former UCLA Basketball players, has decided to make a name for himself outside of the house that John Wooden built.

O’Bannon, the son of Charles O’Bannon and nephew of Ed O’Bannon (both members of the 1995 National Championship team) is breaking off from family tradition and will play college ball at USC.

Paul Biancardi of ESPN.com quoted O’Bannon saying, “I felt really comfortable on campus, and it’s close to home. I like the environment, and I feel like I belong there.
