What was rumored, that UK offer was the highest but, back loaded and a guarantee he would be here the 2nd year. We can assume UCLA gave more money up front and the second year isn't locked in.
If Kentucky misses on Kusturica.

I would have hated to see the hideousness of the girl he would have met in Lexington. Probably would have made you throw up in your mouth a little bit.
Apparently not. I seriously doubt this is a basketball only decision.
It's obviously more than just pretty girls and great weather. NY and LA normally means more endorsement dollars down the line as well. Lots of connections to make. It's the main reason the Lakers have always gotten great player after great player to come there and stay
You are pulling that out your butt. You and I have no clue what factors are driving this decision. Period.
And you and every other person on the board pulls it out of your butts to dude, it's a message board lol
Yeah, it’s a message board where people can say others are full of crap. Congrats for noticing.
He’s playing against team USA right now in the FIBA U17 Gold Medal game on YouTube. Has a lot of recruits including Rosser
You can certainly see the potential. He has at least 10 or 12 of their 29 points early 2nd quarter. Knocked down a 3 and made good moves driving to the hoop multiple times
26 points now and keeping them in the game single-handed
Rosser killing it too. I do hope we get him.
Doesn’t UCLA have an assistant coach on their national team? I can see why somebody his age moving across the globe would want to play for somebody they’re already familiar with. Especially if the money is around the same
Yep I think that’s the main draw honestly. Comfortability.
The minutes restriction year one thing is made up right? He played almost every minute today, took almost every shot and had an ungodly usage percentage. I assume he is all they have. 2/11 from 3 and 17/22 from the line
Cronin actually has a better rep than Pope. That's where we are as a program.
I believe it was misconstrued. I believe it was guaranteed minutes per game and the restrictions were on workouts. Either way it doesn’t matter but the kid has game.
What a tired bait. Tell that to Milan who chose Pope over Cronin.
OkayWhat a tired bait. Tell that to Milan who chose Pope over Cronin.
Kusturica
Donovan Dent
-Guaranteed minutes
-Little competition for ball domination
-LA > Lexington
-Cronin has a better reputation getting players to the league than Mark Pope
-MONNNNNEY
It makes plenty of sense.
Not exactly. The assistant coaches the national team, while Kusturica plays on the U17 team. However, Cronin also has a second Serbian on his coaching staff.
Big Blue Dylan on twitter heard it from an I am med Gonzaga source, it got posted and repeated on this board which makes it a fact to these people. No evidence, logic, or reason needed. It’s how they operate.
This is what he posted and where the claim of minutes restrictions came from
After speaking with a few Gonzaga Sources, it’s been reiterated to me multiple times that Gonzaga is not believed to be involved anymore, and have moved on to other potential targets.
“I think it’s Kentucky, or Michigan if this is a bidding war. They’ve seemed to have pivoted to secondary guards. I think while Gonzaga staff is high on him, they won’t pay more than $3m for a guy who they think should be playing 15mpg”
Also added: “What I’ve heard is his camp is actually asking for a minute restriction in year 1”
Michigan has a rotational need for him, and the pitch is quite clear, their offer has also raised in the last few days, I’ve been told, but is still significantly less than what Kentucky is offering Nikola.
