Report: Former UCLA Basketball Player Jalen Hill, 22, Dies

“To hear something like this is next-level devastating,” Giles said., Hill went missing while in Costa Rica and there are limited details surrounding his death.

Hill spent four years with the Bruins from 2017 to 2021, redshirting his first year but playing in the next three. His best season came in the 2019-20 campaign, when he started in 25 games for UCLA and averaged nine 9.0 points and 6.9 rebounds a game. In total, he averaged 6.5 points and 6.4 rebounds for the Bruins over 77 games.

Midway through his final season with UCLA in 2021, Hill stepped away from the game to take a break. He would later retire from basketball, citing a healthier lifestyle both physically and mentally without the game after battling both anxiety and depression. While Hill missed UCLA’s run to the Final Four that year, he didn’t have any regrets about stepping away. He explained that he learned a lot from the transition away from the game and how to have a healthier lifestyle., “because when you get into a situation where you are anxious or you are going through mental health problems, you tend to focus on only that and that’s pretty much the only thing that you’re going to get because that’s the only thing that your mind is focused on.

“So, instead, try to focus on the small things and you don’t have to lie to yourself, just be aware of the fact that what you’re going through is what you’re going through, but saying that the next day is going to be better and that’s not a lie at all — but instead of just saying it, knowing it, knowing that the next day is going to be better, knowing that whichever opportunity you’re going to get next is going to be a successful one.

Incredibly sad news. While we don’t have all the details yet, we have seen a few college athletes struggle with mental health and depression and pass away the last couple of years. Colleges should continue to make it a focus to provide support for all its students in this area

Wow 😪

Praying

Damn, another one gone too soon.

Rip

Rest in peace

Rest In Peace to him

RIP To Jalen Hill

🙏🏽

Pac-12 Commissioner Addresses Whether UCLA Could Remain in LeagueUCLA and USC’s eventual move to the Big Ten will have a huge ripple effect on the Pac-12, but the conference isn’t completely convinced the Bruins will make the move West coast football has been exciting so far. If ESPN or Fox was smart they’d give PAC 12 a big fat contract and talk USC and UCLA into staying. I don't think this reporting is accurate re: CA Regents having any say in the matter. UCLA should absolutely go to Big10. Pac-12 is poorly managed and will die a swift death. And any argument that UCLA shouldn't leave because of Cal is ridiculous - there's no real rivalry there.
