Former Kentucky player Johnny Juzang announced today he is transferring to UCLA. The 6-6 guard from the Los Angeles area described his decision to go to UCLA as “coming home.” Juzang said when he left Kentucky following his freshman season his desire was to play close to home. He averaged 2.9 points per game in 28 contests for the Wildcats this past season. Juzang also plans to pursue a waiver for immediate eligibility instead of sitting out a year as required.
