The Ball family has made a verbal commitment to send their third son to play for the UCLA Bruins. LaMelo Ball, the 13-year-old brother of class of 2016 star Lonzo Ball, committed to the Bruins on Saturday, according to CBS Sports.
UCLA gets verbal commitment from 13-year-old brother of 5-star recruit Lonzo Ball
LaMelo Ball is following his brothers to UCLA.
Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.
LaMelo Ball, who is an incoming high school freshman, joins brothers Lonzo (class of 2016) and LiAngelo (class of 2017) in committing to UCLA. The three brothers all play on the same grassroots club Big Ballers VXT, which is coached by their parents LaVar and Tina Ball.
So far, Lonzo is the real prize for UCLA. He's ranked as the No. 11 player in ESPN's class of 2016 rankings and is considered one of the top point guard prospects in the country. At 6'5, Lonzo Ball has the size and passing ability to be an instant impact freshman for the Bruins in the 2016-17 season.
LiAngelo Ball, one year younger than Lonzo, is not as highly touted. He's a 6'5 shooting guard who is considered a three-star prospect by Rivals.
