3 Players in 2027 Recruiting Class UCLA Should Prioritize

Mick Cronin hasn't had much success in the past two years with recruiting high school players.

For the class of 2025, Cronin did not have a player commit to the Bruins, as he did all of his damage in retooling the roster through the transfer portal. Then, for the 2026 recruiting class, Cronin has brought in the 49th-ranked class according to 247Sports.

Davis is the 20th-ranked prospect in the 2027 class, the fourth-ranked combo guard, and the number one player in the state of Washington. Davis was offered by the Bruins back in late April and has been a top target for them since then.

Davis isn't the most explosive athlete, but he knows how to play and score from all three levels. He was being used in ways that translate to the next level. He's getting some reps both on and off the ball, coming off different types of screens, making reads, and showing he can be a scoring threat at all three levels.

Nasir Anderson

Rose is a 4-star and the 25th-ranked recruit in the class, the fourth-ranked combo guard, and the second-ranked player in the state of Texas. Rose is the latest player to be offered by the Bruins, as he was offered a few days later after Anderson was offered.

Rose is a player who could move up the rankings from his current spot, as he is a big and strong combo guard who runs his team and can score and defend at a high level. At the 16U level of EYBL, he is an awfully tough cover and capable of doing just about anything he wants.
