With national signing day upon us, the UCLA basketball team received national letters of intent from 5-star C Moses Brown and 4-star PG Tyger Campbell, officially making them Bruins.

It is the first day of the regular signing period and the UCLA basketball team have officially added two players to their roster as 5-star center Moses Brown and 4-star point guard Tyger Campbell have signed with the Bruins.

UCLA, which has the #4 recruiting class in the nation according to 247Sports.com, previously received NLIs from 4-star shooting guards David Singleton III, Jules Bernard and 3-star center Kenny Nwuba during the early signing period. With Brown and Campbell’s letters in, the Bruins now have five of the six committed players officially signed.

There is no word yet on 4-star power forward Shareef O’Neal’s NLI. The coveted big man committed to UCLA back in February after rethinking his original pledge to Arizona after the controversy surrounding the FBI probe and head coach Sean Miller.

Brown comes in as a potential starter at center as senior Thomas Welsh has graduated. Though the Bruins are fully loaded in the front court, Brown’s size, athleticism and overall ability to dominate the paint will make him a huge weapon on head coach Steve Alford’s roster.

Campbell could also be in the running for a starting spot, especially if Jaylen Hands opts to leave Westwood, but even if the in-coming freshman comes off the bench, the Bruins have a very capable point guard at their disposal. Campbell is a great ball handler and distributor that always looks to move ball around. He is also very aggressive attacking the basket and should be a reliable scorer.

Though the Bruins will have to restructure their style next season (they lose key starters Welsh, Aaron Holiday and Gyorgy Goloman), there are a lot of options to choose from. With this class being one of the best in Alford’s tenure, UCLA looks to have a very competitive team next season.
