Kentucky loses another starter to transfer portal

[ASFN Admin]

While Kentucky had an exciting first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, Andrija Jelavic's contributions during March Madness were limited in general. The Croatian forward has officially entered his name into the transfer portal, perhaps searching for a better fit in his sophomore season.

Jelavic was sold on Kentucky rather quickly, as he reportedly wanted to play for the program after a 15-minute FaceTime conversation with head coach Mark Pope last offseason. He might take a little bit more time to weigh his options this offseason in hopes of maximizing his potential.

Jelavic started 20 games for the Wildcats, averaging just over five points and four rebounds this season.

Before taking his talents to the United States, Jelavic played for Mega Superbet of the Adriatic League, where he averaged 10 points per game.
