The Bruins are building up their star quarterback, Nico Iamaleava, and he has one last big comp that forms how he is best fit to lead the team.

The Bruins have a great quarterback in Nico Iamaleava, and they can ensure he plays well alongside another Big Ten QB.

The Bruins are about to play their first spring game, and the scrimmage could reveal a lot about the team.

UCLA Bruins head coach Cori Close yells out to her players aas they take on the South Carolina Gamecocks during their NCAA women's basketball national championship game at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix on April 5, 2026.

Despite the portal closing, social media got to see UCLA land another dynamite transfer.

The Bruins had a great time when the portal was open, and they still managed to find talent after it closed.

UCLA Bruins head coach Cori Close celebrates their 79-51 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks to claim the NCAA women's basketball national championship at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix on April 5, 2026.

The Bruins had a great time in the transfer portal, and they could go deep next year because of it.

Iowa State Cyclones' forward Addy Brown (24) takes a note from the bench during Iowa State and Cincinnati in the Big-12 women’s basketball on Jan. 21, 2026, at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.

The Bruins landed their final transfer in Addy Brown, and she will be in a battle to earn a starting role.
