Wisconsin basketball adds in-state guard to its class of 2024

Wisconsin basketball added in-state walk-on guard Aidan Konop to its class of 2024 on Saturday.

The 6-foot, 2-inch shooting guard will join the Badgers after averaging 20 points and 6.1 rebounds for Hamilton High School in Sussex, Wisconsin, last season.

He joins a Wisconsin class of 2024 that finished ranked 62nd in the nation by 247Sports. The class is headlined by point guard Daniel Freitag, who figures to play a large role immediately as Wisconsin works to replace the production of star point guard Chucky Hepburn. The class also includes three-star shooting guard Jack Robison.

Konop joins a new-look Wisconsin roster that includes transfer additions Camren Hunter and John Tonje; freshmen Xavier Amos, Freitag and Robison; and recent international signee Andrija Vukovic. Konop will join the walk-on group that consists of Isaac Gard and Jack Janicki.

Wisconsin is still in preparation mode with the 2024-25 season five months from tipping off. The program will open the season with challenging out of conference games against Arizona, Marquette and Butler before the Big Ten slate.
