UCLA BRUINS NEWS

Aday Mara - Seen practicing Mara (foot) was seen practicing and going through individual drills, Tracy McDonald of Rivals.com reports.

Impact The last time reporters saw the Bruins practice, Mara was off to the side doing strength and conditioning drills. This is obviously a step up, even if the center isn't practicing fully yet. Mara remains questionable for UCLA's opener against Rider, but is clearly trending in the right direction.

Aday Mara - Rest Wednesday, should be back soon Mara (foot) is not participating in UCLA's team practice Wednesday but should be back in practice within a week, according to 247Sports.

Impact UCLA's basketball team has commenced engagement in preseason practices, for which Mara will not be immediately available. However, the 7-foot-3 center practicing within one week should help him be ready for UCLA's exhibition game against Cal State L.A. on Oct. 30. Even more on the plus side is Mara using the six weeks he sat out to add muscle, which can add to his previously recorded 240-pound frame.

Dominick Harris - Wildcard for UCLA perimeter Harris is expected to be the wildcard for UCLA's perimeter depth, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Harris transferred to UCLA during the spring after only one year enrolled at Loyola Marymount. However, LMU gave him an opportunity to break out, which he did by averaging 14.3 points and 2.7 three-pointers made while shooting 44.8 percent from deep. Now, the question is whether or not Harris can do all that again but with a bigger program in a bigger conference, especially after the Bruins added wing depth, not including him.
