Milan Momcilovic Would TRANSFORM the Kentucky Wildcats Into a National Championship Contender May 18, 2026

Show notes

The Kentucky Wildcats would become a solidified national championship contender if they were able to add Milan Momcilovic to this season's roster.

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe explains why adding Iowa State transfer Milan Momcilovic takes Kentucky basketball from just being "good" to being a legitimate title threat under Mark Pope. The spacing, shooting, and gravity of a star like Momcilovic is exactly what this roster needs. Coach Pope and the staff have been all over high school basketball circuits this past week, most notably EYBL Session II in Memphis. Dawe discusses CJ Rosser, the No. 1 overall player in the 2027 class, and 4-star Cayden Daughtry as two players the staff watched intently.
