Milan Momcilovic has finally come off the board, as the Iowa State transfer has committed to the Kentucky Wildcats on Monday after overcoming the Louisville Cardinals for his services.
Momcilovic had been testing the NBA Draft waters before officially withdrawing from it at the deadline, despite some late buzz that he was close to staying in it.
Once he withdrew, it quickly became apparent that Kentucky and Louisville were the schools to beat, while Arizona was running third.
In the end, Kentucky was
able to get this across the finish line, giving Mark Pope the biggest recruiting win of his coaching career.
To give you an idea of how big this is, ESPN has Momcilovic ranked No. 1 overall in the entire 2026 transfer portal cycle. Not Flory Bidunga. Not John Blackwell. Not Juke Harris. Not Tounde Yessoufou.
Milan Momcilovic is the one.
Now, here’s a look at how Twitter celebrated the news!
