UCLA in contact with 6'11 Xavier Booker

Don't like this one much as his Per 40 rebounding stats (6.9 reb/game) are horrible for his size and he played less min/game than Mara in 24-25. Maybe he was injured or had some reason for his low usage but not starter at the C material according to his stats. He was the No. 2 Center recruit in the country out of HS so maybe Cronin thinks he can revive him and do another JJJ type of transformation?

Ucla has been in contact with former 5 ⭐️ recruit Xavier Booker of Michigan State. They are looking to move on to a more althetic big after the departure of Aday Mara. They prefer him over big Z for his athleticism, defense, and rebounding. #ucla #MarchMadness #TransferPortal
