Former Badger Commit Signs With Oklahoma State
After signing with the Badgers in June, Serbian big man Andrija Vukovic apparently had issues in the process of signing and has now signed with Oklahoma State instead.
Serbian big man, Andrija Vuković, has signed w/ Oklahoma State in the c/o 2024, I’m told.

The Badgers had initially planned to add Vukovic to boost the 2024 frontcourt behind Steven Crowl and Nolan Winters. After his issues getting on campus, the team pivoted and signed Italian center Riccardo Greppi. The 6-10 center most recently averaged 9.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.
So in the end it seems as though Vukovic's issues were more with Wisconsin and not the NCAA. Greppi seems like a very promising freshman, however, and will be one of three freshman for the Badgers this year. Vukovic on the other hand, will the be the first freshman addition to the Cowboys' roster for the 2024-2025 season.
