Kentucky has landed one of the biggest additions of the offseason, securing a commitment from Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic.
The 6-foot-8 sharpshooter withdrew from the 2026 NBA Draft earlier this week. He immediately became one of the most sought-after players in college basketball. After drawing interest from Louisville, Arizona, and St. John’s, he has chosen Kentucky.
Momcilovic is coming off a breakout junior year where he averaged 16.9 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. Additionally, he shot 50.6% from the field and 48.7% from three range. He led the country with 136 made three-pointers and earned Second Team All-Big 12 honors.
Milan is a player that coaching staff has kept a close eye on for a significant amount of time. In the same way, his commitment fills a need for Kentucky that this roster was previously missing.

He’s an offensive weapon capable of creating matchup problems while being a threat alongside creators such as Zoom Diallo and Alex Wilkins.
