UCLA basketball: Lazeric Jones visits Westwood

Lazeric Jones, a junior college point guard from Illinois, is in attendance at the UCLA-Colorado State game at Pauley Pavilion tonight.

The Bruins, badly in need of backcourt depth, have offered Jones a scholarship. He said that he would fly home Wednesday and talk it over with his parents before deciding when to commit.

The 6-1, 200-pound player hails from the same high school as Derrick Rose and is considered strong and quick for the position.
