Last winter, the Washington Huskies men's basketball team continued their recruiting pipeline into Europe and internationally when it landed 6-foot-11 forward/center Nikola Dzepina.

Dzepina joined the team in the winter when the season was already. He was unfamiliar with the playbook in his first stint with the team and played in 14 games, mostly off the bench.

Dzepina opted to return to the team for his sophomore season and will have a full offseason of work with UW. And he was recently highlighted in a post on "X" from the official Washington men's basketball page.
