Guard Allerik Freeman has been released from his scholarship by UCLA. Freeman, a
guard from Henderson (Nev.) Findlay Prep, signed a letter of intent in the fall. He asked for a release after Coach Ben Howland was fired.

UCLA’s recruiting class has two players remaining, guard Zach LaVine and forward Noah Allen.

Guard Bryce Alford, the son of new UCLA Coach Steve Alford, has said he will attend UCLA. Alford signed a letter of intent with new Mexico, where his father previously coached.
