Nearly two weeks after completing an unexpected run to the Final Four, UCLA secured two recruiting triumphs Friday when it received commitments from Rutgers transfer center Myles Johnson and Los Angeles Windward High point guard Dylan Andrews.
The commitments will fill pressing needs for the Bruins. A member of the 2021 All-Big Ten Conference defensive team, the 6-foot-11 Johnson can use his 7-foot-7 wingspan to provide the shot-blocking presence UCLA has missed since forward Jalen Hill departed the team in February. Andrews, a high school junior, will presumably be the successor to UCLA point guard Tyger Campbell.
