Mick Cronin has his guy.
Serbian FC Barcelona Bàsquet wing Nikola Kusturica committed to UCLA men’s basketball Thursday, the California Post reported.
The 17-year-old forward ranks as a five-star recruit, according to 247Sports, and serves as a significant addition to the head honcho’s 2026-27 roster.
Kusturica contemplated returning to FC Barcelona and also entertained other Division I offers from Kentucky, Gonzaga and reigning national champion Michigan, with the latter seen as the favorites until former head coach Dusty May departed Ann Arbor for the Dallas Mavericks.
While Kusturica’s transfer to UCLA has been rumored over the past several days, Kusturica waited to make any such move until after the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup, where Serbia fell to Team USA in the finals, in spite of 37 points from the newest Bruin.
Despite leaving Istanbul without the title, Kusturica took the college basketball world by storm with his dominant play.
