Why Jon Rothstein’s Surprising No. 22 Ranking for UCLA Bruins Could Shake Up the Season
You know, UCLA’s offseason hasn’t exactly set the world on fire this year. Not a single headline-grabbing recruit or a star transfer to shake things up for Mick Cronin’s Bruins. Yet somehow, they’re still holding strong as the No. 22 team in the newly released Rothstein 45 – that’s Jon Rothstein’s annual snapshot of college hoops’ top contenders. Coming off a tough Round of 32 exit last season — a game where they missed their go-to scorer Tyler Bilodeau and saw second-best Donovan Dent struggle — this team is trying to find its footing again. The offseason additions? Well, they brought in guard Jaylen Petty along with forwards Sergej Macura and Filip Jovic, not exactly household names, but strategic depth pieces. The big question hanging over UCLA: Can Cronin turn this patchwork into a squad that finally breaks through those second-round NCAA tournament ceilings? With some uncertainty still looming—like guard Skyy Clark’s potential return—it’s a pivotal moment for the Bruins. Rothstein’s optimism suggests that the faith in Cronin’s coaching remains unshaken, despite some glaring questions on both ends of the floor. And with several Big Ten teams leading the pack this year, UCLA’s fight to climb higher won’t be for the faint of heart. LEARN MORE
