ARTIS BACK OFFS BRUINS

There’s been very little bad news in Westwood of late, but UCLA did suffer attrition when talented CA PG Dominic Artis reopened his recruitment. A top-60 talent national who enjoyed an outstanding spring and summer with the Oakland Soldiers, Artis has the ability to lead a high-major program early in his career.

Many have speculated at the recent commitment of elite NJ WF Kyle Anderson may have pushed Artis from UCLA. While we prefer Anderson as a wing forward for defensive purposes, he’s an uncanny handler and passer for his size and some believe that he’ll be the offensive quarterback for the Bruins.

UCLA continues to eye major prizes such as No. 1 senior Shabazz Muhammad, though certainly Anderson would be the one who would have the likely effect on Artis, who says he’ll continue to consider UCLA while exploring other options.
