UCLA Bruins Summer Build to Big Ten | UCLA Bruins Basketball News

UCLA’s basketball team is hitting the gym hard this summer, leveraging a rare roster of five key returning starters—Eric Dailey Jr., Trent Perry, Xavier Booker, Brandon Williams, and Eric Freeny—to build on last season’s momentum. Coach Mick Cronin is focused on refining fundamentals, defense, spacing, and ball security, turning past habits into precision plays. Perry’s breakout performance, Dailey’s rebound dominance, and Booker’s NCAA tournament flashes show what this core can do. With a stellar assist-to-turnover ratio and elite three-point shooting last year, they’re using summer to lock in chemistry before the academic quarter system kicks in—aiming for a strong start against Arizona in Vegas on November 2nd.

Two names to watch: five-star scoring point guard NaVorro Bowman Jr., who dominated the Nike Peach Jam averaging over 20 points, and towering 6’10” center Mahamadou Diop, a powerful, agile post presence with serious rebounding and finishing skills. Cronin’s not messing around—he’s building for the future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
