2018 center prospect Kenneth Nwuba just verbally committed to UCLA, per MBA Hoops coach Omhar Carter.

"Kenneth felt he would flourish in that fast pace, west coast offense that Steve [Alford] runs," Carter told Scout. "His frame and athleticism allows him to play both forward and center position."

Nwuba, who is finishing his high school career at Huntington (W.V.) Prep, committed to the Bruins over Baylor and Maryland. Nwuba visited UCLA the weekend of October 21st.

A three-star recruit, Nwuba is a strong, powerful post player that boats a chiseled frame.

"He is a defensive game changer and he has added an offensive game now," Carter said. "He shoots the ball, handles it, has low post moves and can play in the screen and role game. UCLA truly believes he is special and will play instantly.

Nwuba joins four-star recruits Jules Bernard and David Singleton to make up UCLA's current 2018 recruiting class.
