UCLA Basketball: 5-Star 2024 Prospect Visiting Bruins, Other Blue Blood Programs

This 7-foot-2, five-star big man is set to visit Westwood later this month.

The UCLA Bruins will soon host one of the best players in the 2024 class and a player projected to be a top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. 

National Basketball analyst Travis Branham said 2024 five-star center Khaman Maluach will visit the UCLA campus later this month. 

Maluach is truly one of the most special prospects and is heavily desired by many blue-blood programs, including the Bruins. 

He's already visited the Duke Blue Devils. The senior center is expected to decide by the end of February. 

Maluach previously reclassified from the class of 2025 to the class of 2024. He is a native of South Sudan and has been developing his game at the NBA Academy Africa. The 7-foot-2 big man is considered the number nine overall prospect in his class, according to On3. 

Top programs like Duke, Kentucky, and Kansas are among the top picks for Maluach. He will indeed be a game-changer if the Bruins can land him, and it will all start on February 23rd.
