The UCLA Bruins have been active in the transfer portal on the basketball front. They have shown interest in a ton of players and have already landed two big names in Skyy Clark and Kobe Johnson.
One player they have shown interest in is Washington transfer Koren Johnson. The Huskies star recently had UCLA as one of his finalists.
However, on Wednesday, Joe Tipton of On3 reported that Johnson has reopened his recruitment and is open to other programs besides those initial five.
Johnson originally had his list of Florida, Oregon, Indiana, UCLA and returning to the Huskies, so this news changes things considerably.
Mick Cronin’s team has done well thus far despite losing a number of players to the portal. But, landing Johnson would be a huge boost to the roster and they prepare to go to the Big Ten Conference in 2024.
Washington transfer guard Koren Johnson is no longer limited to five schools and will open his recruitment to other programs, he tells @On3sports. https://t.co/WL3dMgpOVT

Johnson’s recruitment will be something to monitor.
