2026 hoops prospect has heard from UCLA

All eyes on this one.

The UCLA Bruins men’s basketball program has worked wonders in the transfer portal this offseason. As such, Mick Cronin’s team looks like an easy top-25 pick for the 2024-2025 season.

And, they are even recruiting players in the 2026 class.

Noah Mister has heard from a number of programs, including the Bruins, per The Recruits Zone.

Here are the schools he has heard from up until now: Northwestern, DePaul, Illinois State, Butler, UCLA, Providence, San Diego State, San Diego, Purdue, Oregon State, and Valparaiso.

Mister plays at Mount Carmel High School and has been gaining a lot of buzz recently, even warranting consideration from schools such as UCLA, Purdue, and San Diego State.

He played at Kenwood Academy before transferring to Mt. Carmel, and he is definitely a player to keep an eye on.

If the Bruins can land him, it would be a massive addition for the class a couple of years from now as they build sustainability heading into the Big Ten.
