UCLA’s 17-Year-Old Basketball Sensation | College Basketball News

UCLA just snagged a global basketball phenom—17-year-old Nikola Kusturica—who’s already turning heads before even stepping on campus. Coach Mick Cronin called him coachable, hungry for greatness, and primed to make an immediate impact. The recruitment was intense, with Cronin calling Kusturica’s family in Serbia at 6 AM Pacific time and his Greek agent. Signed a two-year deal, he won’t be NBA eligible until 2028, giving him time to develop under the Bruins’ system. Expect raw talent meets relentless drive—and a future force for UCLA.
