Let's break down all of the UCLA basketball player movement and more.

Here are the UCLA players who have entered the transfer portal.

An international recruit from Slovenia who is a taller guard at 6'6 can handle the ball well and can play and operate as a point guard.

He was ranked high by 247 Sports as the No. 68 nationally ranked recruit for the 2023 class.

2023-24 SEASON STATS
•PTS 1.9
•REB 0.8
•AST 0.5
•FG% 38

Fibleuil like Vide was one of the members of the highly ranked class of international freshmen who were apart of the 2023 recruiting class for UCLA.

247 Sports had him ranked the No. 43 recruit nationally for the 2023 class as he had played in France previously before coming to Westwood.

2023-24 SEASON STATS
•PTS 1.0
•REB 1.5
•AST 0.2
•FG% 43.5

McClendon saw an increase in playing time from his freshmen season but he only started four games on a team that went 16-17 on the season.

He also was a highly ranked recruit of high school for the 2022 class as he was ranked No.58 by the 247 Sports Composite rankings. Like Fibleuil and Vide who were also both top 70 ranked recruits before they went to college, all three for whatever reason were unable to see significant playing time this past season.

2023-24 SEASON STATS
•PTS 4.1
•REB 3.3
•AST 1.1
•FG% 33.9

These are the players from the transfer portal who have committed to UCLA.

UCLA is currently ranked No. 1 in the 247 Sports Transfer Portal rankings due to their newest commitments.

He was Louisville's leading scorer this past season and scored 20 or more points six times this past season. The hope and expectation is that Clark will add to the UCLA offense that struggled of late and that he will be the starting point guard for the 2024-25 season.

2023-24 SEASON STATS
•PTS 13.2
•REB 3.1
•AST 3.0
•FG% 41.2

Johnson was the Trojan's third-leading scorer last season as well as one of the captains on the teams. He is projected to be a starter for UCLA for the 2024-25 season as he is known for being an excellent defender and leader.

2023-24 SEASON STATS
•PTS 10.9
•REB 4.6
•AST 3.3
•FG% 40.4

UCLA has one incoming freshman at this time who will be playing his freshman season for the Bruins for the 2024-25 season.

It's difficult to say definitively who will be on UCLA's roster for the 2024-2025 season because of a few factors.

  • Transfer Portal: College basketball players still at this time can enter the transfer portal where players can enter their name to potentially play at another school for various reasons. This can lead to last-minute roster changes
  • NBA Draft: Some players might declare for the NBA Draft still like Adem Bona.
  • Adding more players to the 2024 recruiting class: Just like last offseason, UCLA can add one or two international players for this upcoming season.
  • Returning Players: Several players have already confirmed their return, including guards Dylan Andrews and Lazar Stefanovic but nothing is guaranteed until the start of the 2024-25 season.
