Adem Bona, a 6-foot-9 center out of Lagos (Nigeria) Prolific Prep will announce his college decision on Monday, November 1st between Kentucky and UCLA, a source told On3.

Kentucky was the heavy early favorite for Bona, but it appears UCLA has picked up major steam in recent weeks.

Bona, the No. 3 ranked center in the On3 100, visited both of his finalists officially in the month of October.

Scouting Report on Bona

On3’s Senior National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton had this to say about Adem Bona:

“Absolutely the best in the 2022 class of bigs running the floor. Will win foot races up and down the floor. A high-level rebounder that shows the reactive quickness and hands to rebound outside his area. Plays well above the rim on both ends. High-level rim protector. Will attack off the bounce offensively. Needs to develop a go-to move and more consistency in the mid-range. Future NBA player.”
