Kentucky targeting 19-year-old overseas pro attempting to return to college basketball
Kentucky is facing extreme pressure to rebound from its disappointing 2025-26 campaign, and rightfully so.
Although the Wildcats reached the NCAA Tournament as an at-large program (they earned the No. 7 seed in the Midwest region), they only mustered one victory with their reported $22 million roster (finishing with a lackluster 22-14 record), which should be considered a failed season in the modern NIL era of college basketball.

During his lone season with Georgia in 2024-25, Drezgic averaged 2.9 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game in eight contests, shooting 33.3% from the field and 44.4% from beyond the arc.
While the Belgrade, Serbia, native had the option to continue his college career with the Bulldogs after his freshman campaign, he opted to turn pro after one year. Considering Drezgic has proven he can succeed at the professional level, he should be more impactful during his second go-round at the collegiate ranks.
Whether or not he’ll do so with the Wildcats remains to be seen.
