Donovan Dent, Skyy Clark, Eric Dailey, Tyler Bilodeau, Xavier Booker
Bruins are banking that they can resurrect Booker like they did with Johnny Juzang when he transferred from Kentucky. https://t.co/6zZ5w5yu16
Having watched a ton of Michigan State basketball these past two seasons, it is doubtful that Xavier Booker will be a full-time starter next season.
Here now is a look at the players who have committed to transferring to UCLA the upcoming season.
Donovan Dent will play basketball for UCLA next season.
