The freshman class at UCLA seems to be quite talented...
Aday Mara and Berke Buyuktuncel -- the two most highly-touted members of the class -- have not yet been cleared by the NCAA for participation in games. This should be figured out rather soon, and potentially as soon as next week in time for the Bruins' Nov. 6 season opener versus Saint Francis.
However, we did see the likes of Jan Vide, Brandon Williams, Devin Williams, Ilane Fibleuil, and Sebastian Mack take the floor in the 41-point exhibition win over Cal State Dominguez Hills. While the collective play of the quintet was impressive, a few of the first-year players are garnering some hype via one prominent media personality.for this upcoming season. The list included three UCLA freshmen in the form of Mack, Vide, and Fibleuil.
All three played quite well in the exhibition win. Starting at point guard, Mack scored 23 points on 9/14 shooting to go along with 7 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. As the first lead guard off the bench, Vide efficiently scored 12 points in only 23 minutes. He made 3/5 shot attempts from the floor but also got to the line a team-high nine times . Vide also had two blocks.
Last but certainly not least is Fibleuil. Starting at one of the wing spots, Fibleuil notched a double-double -- scoring 10 points and collecting a team-high 10 rebounds in only 26 minutes. His activity on the defense end was noticeable, and his length -- coupled with a real nose for the ball -- made him a nightmare to keep off the glass.Copyright ABG-SI LLC.
