Culver City Observer -

Heralded UCLA basketball signee Jonah Bolden has been ruled ineligible for the coming season by the NCAA.

The 6-foot-9 power forward, a native of Australia, was ruled a partial qualifier after he left Australia after last season had started to play for a high school in Nevada.

He will be allowed to practice with the team.

The other members of Coach Steve Alford’s Top 10 recruiting class are eligible, including 6-foot-9 Thomas Welch from LA Loyola High.
