UCLA freshman guard Jan Vide has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. Vide will have multiple years of eligibility remaining.

A native of Slovenia, Vide struggled to catch on with the Bruins as a true freshman. He played in 24 games and averaged 1.9 points per game, playing 7.3 minutes a game.

Vide’s strongest showing came near the end of the season, as he played 14 minutes in a loss to Arizona to end the regular season. In that game, Vide scored eight points on 3-of-4 from the field, pulled down two rebounds, made two steals and added an assist.

Coming out of Slovenia as a prospect, Vide was unranked by On3 and most other major recruiting services. He was rated a Top 100 prospect by 247Sports, however.

UCLA added two transfers amid the portal churn

USC guard Kobe Johnson has made a commitment out of the NCAA transfer portal, and it’s one that sure to ruffle a few feathers. The talented prospect will be headed across town to UCLA.

Johnson announced his commitment on Instagram with a series of photos, one of which included him holding UCLA’s 1995 national championship program, the last in the program’s storied history.

UCLA is getting a good one. Johnson has spent the last three years at USC, where he slowly turned into a reliable contributor. He averaged 10.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game as a well-rounded player. Johnson’s an OK shooter, too. He shot a career 32.9% from beyond the 3-point arc while at USC.

Along with Johnson, Louisville point guard Skyy Clark has committed to transfer to the UCLA Bruins, per On3’s Joe Tipton. He previously played for the Illinois Fighting Illini as well.

Clark played his high school basketball at Montverde Academy in Florida but comes from Los Angeles, California originally. He was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2022, according to the On3 Industry Ranking. He also was the fourth-ranked point guard and the 37th-ranked player overall in the 2022 cycle.

Clark started his career at Illinois. He played in 13 games there as a freshman but transferred out after one season. He landed at Louisville, where he started 28 games out of the 29 he played in during the 2023-24 season.

Through two seasons, Clark has played in 42 games and is averaging 29.5 minutes a game for his career. He’s also averaging 11.3 points, 2.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game.
