For those keeping score at home and wondering how to reconcile Collier being a “bad fit” for UCLA with the previous reporting that “Collier has developed into one of UCLA's most-sought prospects in the 2023 class” and UCLA led for his recruitment?
Well, the answer is that Mick Cronin recruiting is uniquely self-selection. What does that mean? Basically that you can’t tell if a recruit is a good fit for UCLA until the recruit decides whether to commit to UCLA or not. If he commits, he’s a good fit. If not, he wasn’t.
