The nation's No. 1 point guard, Daishen Nix, verbally committed to UCLA.

Nix, a 6-5 prospect with some exceptional vision and passing ability, is the first commitment for Mick Cronin at UCLA.

It's a big one, too. Point guard is the biggest position of need for the program, and Cronin went out and got the No. 1 point guard prospect in the nation.

Nix just officially visited UCLA last weekend, and chose the Bruins over Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland and Alabama, among many.

Comments from Nix and more to come on his commitment.
