Summary
UCLA just landed a big international recruit in six-foot-seven Latvian wing Gunars Grinvalds, who played for Real Madrid and helped them win a championship at just 18. With a sharp three-point shot, playmaking, and finishing ability, he joins a loaded freshman class — but his eligibility hangs in the balance due to new NCAA rules targeting international pros. Still, if cleared, Grinvalds could be a key piece in UCLA’s push to return to the top 25 next season. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
