UCLA a finalist for Class of 2025 top-30 hoops recruit

UCLA is a finalist for this big recruit.

The UCLA Bruins basketball program continues to add high-ranked prospects. On Friday, they were mentioned as a finalist for Class of 2025 top-30 prospect Nikolas Khamenia, per Joe Tipton of On3.

The 6-foot-8 forward has a final list of Arizona, UCLA, Gonzaga, North Carolina, and Duke, so there is no storage of blueblood programs on his list.

According to Brandon Jenkins of 247Sports, Khamenia has visits set for Arizona on August 31, North Carolina on September 6 and Duke on September 13, so things could pick up quickly over the next few weeks.

He ranks 30th in ESPN’s top 100 list, so this would be a massive get and there are plenty of top options for him.

Khamenia confirmed the news with a photo on his X account with logos of each of the five programs.
