Things have definitely started to pick up in the UCLA Bruins recruiting arena. After entering June with 0 commitments on the board, the Bruins picked up a flurry of commitments, and are now rolling that into the middle of July with a major pick-up, as 3-star offensive guard Duke Clemens of Honolulu (Hawaii) Punahou announced his commitment late in the night.
Clemens is a 3-star prospect according to 247Sports Composite Rankings, though it should be noted that that’s the composite score, as 247Sports themselves rank him as a 4-star. Those rankings have Clemens as the 12th best offensive guard prospect in the nation, 6th best prospect in the state of Hawaii, and 235 overall.
