The Wisconsin Badgers hit the overseas pool again, adding 6’10 Italian center Riccardo Greppe as the third player in their 2024 freshman class.
Initially, Wisconsin had looked to land Serbian center Andrija Vukovic, but there were problems that ultimately arose, so the Badgers pivoted to Greppe, who has both international and professional experience.
Greppe comes with four years of eligibility, joining a freshman class that includes four-star guard Daniel Freitag and three-star wing Jack Robison.
How does the Badgers rotation look like after adding the Italian center?
Starting Lineup
Point Guard: Camren Hunter (junior)
Shooting Guard: Max Klesmit (senior)
