  • Darius Garland, the 6-foot-1 point guard from Brentwood Academy (TN), enjoyed his official visit to UCLA this past weekend and will now huddle with his family about his future plans.

    Garland has visited Vanderbilt (Sept. 23-25), Kentucky (Oct. 13-15), Indiana (Oct. 20-22) and UCLA (Oct. 27-29).

    “Yeah, we’re done with visits,” his brother, Desmond Nunnery, said by phone. “That was the last one, UCLA. We’ll sit down with the parents and talk about the pros and cons of each school and kind of go from there. I’m not sure, I don’t know if he’s going to do the early signing thing, that’s Nov. 8. We have to kind of sit down and figure it all out maybe Tuesday or Wednesday.”

    Nunnery said the UCLA visit went well, and assistant Tyus Edney is coming back Tuesday to see Garland at practice.

    Jordan Brown, the 6-foot-10 power forward from Prolific Prep (CA), took his official visit to UCLA this past weekend one week after he visited St. John’s.

    “It went well,” said Dion Brown, the player’s father. “The campus itself was nice. The coaches were great and made us feel comfortable and welcome. We got to see practices, the same as when we went to St. John’s. The team looked pretty impressive.

    “Jordan kind of knows a couple of guys on the team, Jaylen Hands, Jalen Hill he played with at USA [Basketball]. Jello Ball and everything, so he hung out with those guys, they made him feel pretty comfortable. It was pretty good.”

    Meantime, St. John’s assistant Greg St. Jean was slated to watch Jordan on Wednesday at Prolific Prep.

    Zion Williamson, the No. 2 ranked player in 2018 per ESPN.com, will visit North Carolina on an official visit this weekend instead of UCLA.

    “I’m headed to North Carolina this weekend so I’m looking forward to that,” he wrote in his new USA Today blog.

    As first reported here Monday, the 6-foot-5 Williamson is no longer considering UCLA and won’t take his scheduled visit there this weekend.
