<p>Floyd, who <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DSApcGdkQci/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==">announced his decision on Instagram</a>, was spotted courtside Saturday during pregame warmups before <a href="https://www.on3.com/sites/bruin-blitz/news/eric-dailey-jr-sparks-ucla-early-defense-stifles-reeling-oregon/">UCLA’s 74-63 win over Oregon at Pauley Pavilion</a>.</p>

<p>Floyd picked UCLA over Alabama-Birmingham after making it out to Westwood for a weekend trip that had been previously rescheduled.</p>



<p>As a junior, the 6-foot-9 post player was named first-team all-region and the region’s defensive player of the year.</p>



<p>In recent years, UCLA has gone heavy on transfer portal additions. While the Bruins have been in the mix for top players around Southern California, head coach <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/mick-cronin-132290/">Mick Cronin</a></strong> has put more value in older players he can plug in and play immediately.</p>
