UCLA has 14 players confirmed on its 2026-27 roster. With the NCAA's recent ruling lifting the men's basketball roster limit from 13 to 15, head coach Mick Cronin now has the opportunity to add one more player. Most of the eligible players can only return to the school they recently left, which may impact potential recruitment options. The decision comes following rulings that afford many athletes a fifth season of eligibility as part of settlement agreements.
