The Bruins now have a puppy in their den.
Cordell Broadus, the son of rapper Snoop Dogg, committed to play for UCLA on Wednesday, spurning the program his father has supported for years, USC, for their Pac-12 rivals.
“I feel that UCLA is the best fit for me," Broadus said of his pick, which was broadcast on ESPNU. "I had the offer since my nine-grade year, so I had a great connection with the coaches. I just want to play in front of my family and keep ballin' out on the field and get a great degree."
UCLA now has the market cornered on sons of rappers on their roster; Justin Combs, son of P. Diddy, is a defensive back for coach Jim Mora Jr.
