He announced on social media platform X last week that he’s made his collegiate decision, and it’s to a region that knows his family very well.

The class of 2024 shooting guard posted to X “Thank you to Coach Savino and everyone on the UCLA staff for believing in me and helping me reach my dreams.”

This season, Horry is averaging 10 points and five rebounds per game while shooting 42% from 3 for Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.), according to 247Sports. The recruiting outlet wrote that Horry is a 3-and-D style player who is “a very good three-point shooter while playing tough, hard-nosed defense,” while LA Times reporter Ben Bolch wrote Horry “might be capable of making an impact given his toughness and defensive determination” as a walk-on.

Robert posted a congratulations to his son on X, saying, “One dream accomplished, many more to go:”

Horry adds to UCLA’s class of 2024, which includes four-star guard Eric Freeny. The Bruins are currently 14-11 and have won six games in a row.

Robert Horry’s son commits to UCLA basketball

UCLA basketball landed a commitment from Robert Horry’s son on Thursday night.

The UCLA Bruins men’s basketball team won its sixth straight game on Thursday night. The Bruins defeated Colorado at home and won their eighth game in the last nine to surge to the top of the Pac-12 Conference and even garner some bubble talks.

On the same night, the Bruins got a huge commitment from Christian Horry, the son of former Los Angeles Lakers star Robert Horry, per Christian’s X account.

Horry is a small forward from Harvard-Westlake and is in the Class of 2024, so this could be a massive commitment for Mick Cronin’s team going forward.

Horry made sure to mention associate head coach Darren Savino in his post and is looking forward to his future with the UCLA program.

Horry was also recently named a California McDonald’s All-American Game 2024 nominee along with two other Harvard-Westlake teammates: Robert Hinton and Trent Perry.

So, UCLA wins its sixth in a row and lands Christian Horry on the same night.
