Pat Kelsey’s 2026-27 Louisville roster appears to be locked into place … without one last additional piece.

Iowa State transfer Milan Momcilovic, the highest-rated available player in the portal by everyone who ranks that sort of thing, has committed to Kentucky. The 6’8 sharp-shooter chose the Cats over Louisville, St. John’s and Arizona, among others.

Momcilovic was the best shooter in college basketball last season, making a nation-best 136 three-pointers at a 48.7 percent clip, also the best in the country. He earned Second Team All-Big 12 honors after averaging 16.9 points per game for an Iowa State team that earned a 2-seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16 before losing to Tennessee.

We’ll see you in December, Milan.
