4-star Sebastian Mack sets official visit to UCLA

On3 Consensus four-star recruit Sebastian Mack will take an official visit to UCLA this weekend, October 11th through the 13th.

While the Bruins have not yet officially offered, it would be a surprise to see him leave Westwood without a scholarship. Mack included UCLA in his final five schools last month, along with Florida State, Oklahoma, Sacarmento State, and UNLV making the cut.

The 6-foot-3 class of 2023 shooting guard out of Henderson (Nev.) Coronado has also taken official visits to Oklahoma and Florida State.

There is a possibility that Mack could make a decision by the close of the early signing period, which ends on the 16th. He ranks as the No. 77 overall prospect in the class, according to the On3 Consensus — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies.

Mack discusses finalists

Mack broke down each of his final five schools in a previous interview.

Florida State: “This school is a place that likes my mentality and my toughness and has a successful system that produces many pros and also has the system that lets their players shine and makes sure they are locked in on both ends.”

Oklahoma: “This school is a place where I feel is on the rise and a place where I can be me at. They have a great group of guys around and create a even better winning culture.”

Sacramento State: “I feel it’s a school that can potentially rise. With some of the people on staff they are very capable of doing that.”

UCLA: “This program loves tough guards and ones that can show all aspects of the game which I can do.”

UNLV: “This program has a few of my former teammates and people who I know. Krueger is a good coach with a strong system.”

Scouting Summary

Sebastian Mack is a scorer. He has range beyond the arc and gets into the rhythm of his shot better off the bounce than he does off the catch. He is crafty in the mid range, getting to his spots. Mack is more slippery than explosive, he has fluid athleticism and plays with the utmost confidence. Mack can get tunnel vision toward the rim, gets up a lot of shots. He gambles in the passing lanes on defense. Has the handle to get his team into sets. Is a high volume bucket getter. – On3’s Jamie Shaw
