Tony Parker headed to UCLA Bruins

Tony Parker, the seventh-rated center and 26th-ranked player in the ESPN 100, is the latest prep star to commit to play at UCLA.

Parker, 6-9, 270 pounds from Lithonia (Ga.) Miller Grove, announced that he's headed to UCLA during a special ceremony at his high school Monday.

He is the No. 1 player in Georgia and chose the Bruins over Georgia, Duke, Kansas and Ohio State.

The addition of Parker to a class that already include Shabazz Muhammad (No. 2), Kyle Anderson (No. 5) and Jordan Adams (No. 41) vaults UCLA past Arizona and Kentucky for he the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation.

Parker, who averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds last season and has led his Miller Grove high school team to four consecutive Georgia state titles, was the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Mr. Basketball and was a McDonald's All-American.
