The Kentucky Wildcats basketball team’s current roster sits at 12 players, leaving three open spots to fill. They would like for Milan Momcilovic to take one of them, but still need a few good players. To that end, Mark Pope is looking internationally once again, but this time to a player who has SEC experience.
Savo Drezgic is a 6’4″, 200 lb guard who was a three-star guard in the 2024 recruiting class. He commited to the Georgia Bulldogs, but after one season headed to Europe to play for Mega Superbet. Now, he tells Kentucky Sports Radio that Kentucky has been in contact.
This past season, Drezgic averaged 15 points and 4 assists per game while shooting 36% from three-point range. In his lone season at Georgia, he posted averges of 3 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist in just 6 minutes per game.
Drezgic is expected to make a decision quickly, and several top schools are reported to be in contact. Can Pope close on a talented international player? Fans should find out soon. It should be noted that Pope landed another Mega Superbet player in forward Andrija Jelavic last season. He’s hoping lightning will strike twice.
