Summary
Kentucky’s roster hunt is heating up as they eye Serbian phenom Nikola Kusturica, a 6-foot-9 17-year-old wing tearing it up for FC Barcelona and dominating international play — including MVP honors and a championship. With one scholarship spot open after snagging Milan Momcilovic, UK joins Gonzaga and UCLA in the race for Kusturica, who’s eyeing a two-year college stint before the 2028 NBA Draft. His prep school plan could let him jump straight into college ball — and if he lands in Lexington, it’d complete their next season’s lineup. Coincidentally, Momcilovic also hails from Serbia — could that be a factor? The competition’s fierce, with UCLA and Gonzaga offering bigger roles and deeper pockets.
