Washington Huskies show interest in U20 Eurobasket star Urban Kroflič

Washington Huskies head coach Danny Sprinkle is in Slovenia for the FIBA U20 Eurobasket, where he is reportedly pursuing Slovenian guard Urban Kroflič, a breakout star of the tournament. Kroflič has made a significant impact, leading Slovenia in scoring during the quarterfinals with 26 points, helping his team to a semifinal matchup against France. Washington's interest comes as Kroflič averages 16 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game during the tournament, positioning him as a potential MVP candidate. If Kroflič enrolls at an American school soon, he could compete under NCAA eligibility rules that benefit him, allowing for up to five years of competition. Sprinkle will likely remain in Slovenia to support his current player, Nikola Dzepina, as both seek to advance to the final.
