Impact UCLA acquired Mara from abroad, but there appears to be an NCAA eligibility issue that still needs to be cleared up. The 7-3 center's status is effectively unclear for Monday's opener against Saint Francis. In the meantime, Adem Bona should start at center assuming he's cleared of a shoulder injury, with Kenneth Nwuba on hand in a reserve capacity. The Bruins have also been experimenting with alignments that feature both the 6-10 Bona and Mara on the court at the same time.
