    Milan to UK?

    Brea was quicker and more mobile; Momcilovic is slower and easier to target. One can survive defensively in space…the other gets exposed the moment he has to guard laterally or create off the bounce. This is not a good comp.

    Milan to UK?

    You do realize that Pope recruited two “Denzel Aberdeen’s” and expects them to play well together. When Mom takes a close look at this team in the brutal SEC…he will take a pay cut and save his career. Unfortunately he would kill in the ACC on that Louisville team. But I think AZ will offer...

    Milan to UK?

    You are describing this imaginary world where Momcilovic just stands still, gets wide‑open threes, and never has to dribble or defend. SEC defenses aren’t giving him clean looks, and he’s not surviving 18 games of hand‑checks, bumps, and switches without his efficiency falling off a cliff...

    Milan to UK?

    100% agree. He would get exposed in the SEC. That is why I see him taking less NIL to go somewhere else. Kentucky doesn’t have enough talent to protect him from a brutal SEC schedule. He will be forced to fight through a lot of hand-checks, elbows and shoulder bumps to just to get off a...

    St John’s will no longer pursue Momcilovic per Adam Zagoria

    Ian Jackson didn’t cost $6M in NIL.

    St John’s will no longer pursue Momcilovic per Adam Zagoria

    Pitino doesn’t run normal defense. He runs full‑throttle, hyper‑aggressive, pressure‑heavy, switch‑everything, rotate‑on‑a-string chaos that demands elite lateral quickness. If Mom had elite lateral quickness he would be a 1st round NBA pick this year. Iowa State’s uses positional defense ...

    St John’s will no longer pursue Momcilovic per Adam Zagoria

    Agree 100%. He doesn’t play RP defense.

    Tounde to Pitino

    Why on earth would Momcilovic choose to go play in the rugged, bruiser‑ball SEC? The kid would be beat up, worn down, or flat‑out injured before the NCAA Tournament even tips off. Look at Kentucky’s injury history under Pope. If we’re being honest, Arizona is probably in the lead, and...

    Flory Bidunga

    Bidunga held opponents to under 45% at the rim as the primary defender. That’s NBA‑level rim deterrence. Kentucky hasn’t had a big with that kind of defensive gravity since Anthony Davis. He is going to be a load in the ACC!

    Simple Poll >>> YES or NO on Momcilovic signing with the Cats ???

    Voted “No”. I see him in Arizona. My decision is driven by coach, contender, geography, fit, role, and NIL. It will be VERY HARD to beat out Arizona.

    Momcilovic predicted to return to college in a Kentucky vs. Louisville face off

    When a Kentucky fan says “take a hike,” it’s basically code for, “I’ve run out of arguments and the Duke fan just hit me with too much reality.” Kentucky is fumbling NIL‑era recruiting and everyone outside Lexington can see it. And tying your entire NIL ecosystem to JMI? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Momcilovic predicted to return to college in a Kentucky vs. Louisville face off

    If Kentucky loses this recruiting battle to Louisville…LOUISVILLE….it won’t just be embarrassing. It’ll be the final confirmation that Kentucky has officially become the NIL‑era little brother in its own state.

    Momcilovic vs not

    So the real question isn’t “Is he a fit?” It’s “Is it worth paying $6 million for a SEC punching bag?” Does Kentucky have enough talent on the roster to protect him? There is a reason he wants to play for a contender. Every coach in the SEC is going to circle his name in red ink and say the...

    UofL running a $30 million deficit

    Whenever someone from outside the Kentucky echo chamber uses full sentences and basic logic, you all immediately assume it’s a troll in disguise. But sure, keep telling yourselves I’m a “fake Duke fan.” It’s easier than admitting a real one walked in here, read the room, and summarized your...
