UCLA basketball: Isaac Hamilton’s eligibility appeal denied

Guard Isaac Hamilton’s effort to become immediately eligible at UCLA ended when the National Letter of Intent appeals board denied his appeal Thursday.

Hamilton, a freshman, walked away from a letter of intent he signed with UTEP, deciding he wanted to stay closer to home. He played at Bellflower’s St. John Bosco. He enrolled at UCLA, but UTEP had refused to release him from his commitment.
