Kyle Anderson, the No. 5 overall prospect in the class of 2012, committed to UCLA on Monday.

Anderson chose UCLA over Seton Hall, Georgetown, Florida and St. John's.

Anderson is a 6-foot-7 small forward who is largely known for his passing ability.

Anderson is thought to be close to Shabazz Muhammad, the nation's top prospect. "Bazz has to make his own decision based on what's best for him," Anderson said. "I do hope he comes, though."

Duke, Ohio State and UCLA appear to comprise the final three college choices for big man Tony Parker out of Georgia.

Memphis and Georgetown apparently have been eliminated.

Parker is a 6-foot-9, 270-pound power forward ranked in the top-25 from the class of 2012. Parker had an outstanding Nike Global Challenge tournament in August.

“I think it’s smart that Georgia Tech and Georgia are still recruiting Tony,” Miller Grove basketball coach Sharman White told the AJC. “I wouldn’t give up. He’s a hometown guy. When you look at it, Georgia Tech and Georgia aren’t losing that much in time or money by checking on Tony. It’s not like they have to fly out to California to see him. He’s in their backyard. I think it’s smart for them to keep recruiting Tony because you never know how things turn out.”

Point guard LJ Rose has given a verbal commitment to Baylor University, according to his father.

“We decided after long deliberation that Baylor is the best fit for L.J. right now,” Lynden Rose said.  “I’ve known Scott Drew for 10 years. We’re comfortable (with Baylor) based on the Christian education and values.”

Rose is a top-100 recruit, who has also been considering Georgetown, Virginia and Houston.
