Four-star junior guard Grant Sherfield verbally committed to Steve Alford, UCLA on Monday, he told Scout.

"I've been building a relationship with them for about three years now," Sherfield said about his pledge. "I felt like it was the best fit for me offensively, defensively and academically."

Sherfield, a 6-foot-2 guard out of Arlington (Tex.) Mansfield Summit, took an unofficial visit to UCLA's campus on October 21st.

"After I went on the visit a few weeks ago, it just clicked that, that was the place for me," Sherfield said.

Sherfield, who picked UCLA over Wichita State, Alabama and TCU, said UCLA assistant Duane Broussard and Alford were active with their recruitment of him.

"The staff is real down to earth," Sherfield said. "They are great guys. They know the game and they develop players as well."

"They have great basketball minds," he added. "If you watch them sit down and coach, they have great basketball minds."

Sherfield's pledge gives the Bruins two in the class of 2019. Sherfield joins four-star guard LaMelo Ball to make up their current class.

Sherfield is regarded as the No. 9 shooting guard and the No. 54 overall prospect.
