It's official. J'Mison Morgan will be playing basketball next season for UCLA. Bruins Coach Ben Howland confirmed Thursday that the school has received signed grant-in-aid paperwork from the 6-foot-10, 248-pound center from South Oak Cliff High in Dallas. Morgan had signed a letter-of-intent to play at Louisiana State, but after Tigers coach John Brady was fired and replaced by former Stanford coach Trent Johnson, Morgan decided to reconsider.

One of the best recruiting classes in the history of the program! Now let's see Ben work his magic. If he can turn Russell Westbrook into a lottery pick, he can take these kids all the way!

Go Bruins!

Final Fours are not enough in Westwood. Ben's on the hotseat.

Is he really a transfer? I think this headline is wrong.

Holy smokes, with him on board and if he's cleared to play along with a top 3 recruiting class and the ever talented senior point guard we're looking no worse than Sweet 16 and possibly even more. This coming year won't be as high of a seed and will likely include 8 to 10 overall losses, but once we're in the seasoned freshmen will step it up and dazzle the opposition. If 2 or 3 of the declared remain agent free and return to Westwood than Final Four # 4 in a row becomes a very tangible goal.

Go Bruins!

No. 1 recruiting class in the nation + Ben Howland + playing in one of the toughest conferences in the nation = deep run in the tournament

He wasn't a scorer in high school, but...I don't know, I feel like Ben Howland found his dream center, cause this guy can play D!
