UCLA’s dream of landing international phenom Nikola Kusturica is still alive—but he’s not signing anywhere yet. The 17-year-old Serbian star, currently tearing it up at the FIBA U17 World Cup with averages over 20 points per game, is still focused on the tournament. Already Barcelona’s youngest senior player and a standout at the Adidas NextGen Finals, Kusturica’s elite play has drawn intense interest from top programs including Kentucky and Gonzaga—but UCLA is widely seen as the frontrunner. With Coach Cronin needing a major boost after a rough recruiting cycle, landing Kusturica could be the game-changer UCLA needs to turn things around and build a championship-caliber team.
