Grant Sherfield, a combo guard from Wichita (Kan.) Sunrise Christian High who signed with UCLA in November, has requested and received a release from his letter of intent in a move that will allow him to pursue opportunities from other schools.

Sherfield’s decision comes a little more than two weeks after the Bruins dismissed coach Steve Alford. Sherfield is listed as a three-star player on 247Sports’ five-star scale.

UCLA’s incoming recruiting class now consists of Jamie Jaquez, a small forward from Camarillo High, and Jake Kyman, a small forward from Santa Margarita High.

Jaquez and Kyman reaffirmed their allegiance to UCLA in the days after Alford was fired. The Bruins could also add to their class during the spring signing period in April.

He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
