    After taking a weekend visit to UCLA, Park Tudor (Ind.) wing Trevon Bluiett has committed to the Bruins, according to ESPN.com.

    “I loved the campus and Coach [Steve] Alford and his staff made me feel welcome and comfortable as soon as I stepped on campus,” Bluiett told ESPN.com.

    The 6-foot-5, 185-pound wing who averaged 27.8 points last season also considered Arizona, Butler, Indiana, Michigan, Purdue and Xavier.

    UCLA assistant Ed Schilling coached him at Park Tudor before joining Alford’s staff.

    UCLA also hosted Louisville decommit Quentin Snider this weekend, and Bluiett is already recruiting Snider hard.

    “He’s just texting him, saying, ‘You’re next,'” Scott Snider, Quentin’s father, told SNY.tv.

    As for Quentin’s visit to UCLA, “He liked the campus, the staff and the fact that Coach Alford and Ed Schilling can help develop him further,” his dad said. “They will use him to push the ball, lots of ball screens and freedom to be creative and make decisions in the offense.”

    Next up for Snider is a visit to Michigan State Sept. 14.
