UCLA Picks Up a Big Pickup from a Crosstown Rival

Former USC guard Kobe Johnson has committed to UCLA. The 6-6, 200-pound guard averaged 10.9 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 3.3 APG and 2.2 SPG this season. He was at USC for the past three seasons and he started 57 of the team's 64 games the last two seasons. This transfer also makes sense for him with Andy Enfield deciding to head to SMU. It is a massive pickup for UCLA too because they need more athleticism overall as a team. He should be able to thrive with the Bruins.
