The UCLA Bruins continue their pursuit of 2020 4-star prospect Mark Williams, as head coach Mick Cronin and the staff met with the talented player on Sunday night, according to Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers.

The 7-0 center, who attends IMG Academy in Florida, is set to make his college decision on Friday.

Williams cut his list to five back in August, with UCLA joining Duke, Michigan, Ohio State, and Stanford in the group.

He is rated as the No. 5 center and No. 29 player overall in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.

Cronin has one commitment thus far in next year's class, with 5-star point guard Daishen Nix committing to the program. Adding Williams would certainly give UCLA a big boost by having an elite point guard paired with an elite center.
