On3 Consensus four-star recruit Sebastian Mack has committed to UCLA.

The 6-foot-3 class of 2023 shooting guard out of Henderson (Nev.) Coronado decided to commit to the Bruins over the weekend during an official visit. He chose UCLA over Oklahoma, Florida State, and others.

Mack ranks as the No. 77 overall prospect in the class, according to the On3 Consensus — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies.

Mack on his commitment to UCLA

“I chose UCLA because I felt that coach (Mick) Cronin would help me get to the next level and help me play my kind of style in order for me to be successful,” Mack said to On3.

What type of player is UCLA getting in Sebastian Mack, in his own words?

“UCLA is getting a killer,” he says. “Someone that will do whatever it takes to win and lead his guys to the next level. Also, they’re getting a leader and a guy who loves the game.”

Scouting Summary

Sebastian Mack is a scorer. He has range beyond the arc and gets into the rhythm of his shot better off the bounce than he does off the catch. He is crafty in the mid range, getting to his spots. Mack is more slippery than explosive, he has fluid athleticism and plays with the utmost confidence. Mack can get tunnel vision toward the rim, gets up a lot of shots. He gambles in the passing lanes on defense. Has the handle to get his team into sets. Is a high volume bucket getter. – On3’s Jamie Shaw
