Player Bio: Brandon Brooks - UCLA Official Athletic Site

April 17, 2013 | Men's Basketball

The Bruins have added to their roster true freshman Brandon Brooks (will be wearing No. 41 until his permanent jersey of No. 44 arrives), a 6-6, 225-pound forward, from Punahou HS in Honolulu. He's made one appearance this season, playing five minutes vs. Maine at The Pearl Harbor Classic.

Brooks was the starting goalkeeper on the UCLA men's water polo team that won the NCAA Championship on Dec. 5. At the NCAA Water Polo Final Four, in UCLA's 14-6 semifinal win over UMass on Dec. 4, Brooks tied a career-high with 11 saves and in the Bruins' 6-5 win over Stanford in the NCAA title game on Dec. 5, Brooks knocked down a possible Cardinal game-winning two-point shot with six seconds left to play. He was selected honorable mention All-American for his efforts. As a prepster at Punahou during his basketball career, he earned All-State honors three times and as a senior last spring, led Punahou to the HI State Championship title, while earning tournament MVP honors. He was named Mr. Basketball by the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
