HOLY SMOKES: Nikola Kusturica’s INSANE FIBA Stats & Why UCLA NEEDS Him!

from Locked On UCLA - Daily Podcast On UCLA Bruins · host Locked On Podcast Network

Could UCLA land the most talented Serbian prospect in 20 YEARS? In this episode of Locked On UCLA, Zach Anderson-Yoxsimer breaks down the jaw-dropping FIBA U17 World Cup run of Nikola Kusturica, the Bruins’ top recruiting target. Averaging over 22 points, 7 rebounds, and dominating on both ends, Kusturica has been called "the most talented kid in Serbia in the last 20 years" by his own coach! Zach Anderson-Yoxsimer dives into what makes this recruitment so unique, UCLA’s desperate need for a game-changer at the wing, and the potentially game-shifting impact if the Bruins can seal the deal over Kentucky, Michigan, and more. Is this the recruit that could save Mick Cronin’s job and bring Lonzo Ball–level BUZZ back to Westwood? Plus: What happens if UCLA misses out, and how high could their ceiling be with a future lottery pick in the mix? Find out all the latest, and don’t miss the hype!
