After only using the transfer portal in the 2025 recruiting cycle, UCLA head coach Mick Cronin has made it a point to target multiple high school prospects on the 2026 recruiting trail.
While the Bruins are still awaiting their first 2026 commitment, they're in good standing with multiple prospects. One of those recruits is a four-star point guard who recently named UCLA one of his final six schools.
Miles Sadler, a four-star point guard from CIA Bella Vista Prep in Glendale, Arizona, named UCLA in his top six schools on October 29.
Rivals' Joe Tipton announced Sadlers' top six on X, naming the Bruins alongside Tennessee, Oklahoma, USC, Maryland, and West Virginia.

The Bruins only recently entered Sadler's recruitment and still haven't officially extended him an offer. The 6'0" point guard told Tipton that while UCLA is new to his recruitment, they've already shown him a lot of love, which is why they made his final six schools.
Adding Sadler to their 2026 class would be massive for UCLA. Rivals' industry rankings list him as the No. 30 overall player in the country, the No. 4 point guard prospect, and the No. 3 recruit out of Arizona.
As Sadler mentioned, the Bruins are pretty late into his recruitment, and other programs have a head start. Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West Virginia have already hosted him on official visits this fall. Cronin and his staff must push hard to get him on campus as soon as possible if they want to land him.
As it stands today, Rivals currently gives the Sooners the best chance to land Sadler at 33%. Tennessee is a close second at 28.9%, and West Virginia is at 24.8%. While the Bruins aren't in a great spot, being named in his top six allows them to make up a lot of ground before he officially makes a decision.
