Zrno has yet to receive a ranking from 247Sports. The 6-foot, 7-inch forward had listed offers from that strong final group of programs. He visited each this month: Indiana on Jan. 7, Wisconsin on Jan. 10, Creighton on Jan. 12 and Virginia on Jan. 16.
The 21-year-old prospect averaged 20.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists in Bosnia’s top professional league this season. He is Indiana’s second commit in the class of 2025, joining four-star power forward Trent Sisley. The class ranked No. 77 in the nation before Zrno’s addition.
The program has prioritized the transfer portal in recent years, headlined by a six-player transfer class entering the 2024-25 season. That transfer class has Indiana at 14-6 (5-4 Big Ten) on the season with the calendar set to flip to February. The team sits at No. 60 in KenPom, No. 61 in the ESPN BPI and No. 65 in the NCAA NET Rankings.

Wisconsin, meanwhile, has three players committed to its class of 2025: four-star shooting guard Zach Kinziger, three-star center Will Garlock and international shooting guard Hayden Jones. That group ranks 54th in the nation.
Greg Gard and his staff have increased their international recruiting efforts in recent years, landing Italian center Riccardo Greppi in the class of 2024 and Jones in 2025. Zrno would have been another impressive recruiting win.
The 18th-ranked Badgers are 15-4 (5-3 Big Ten). Strong recruiting had aided that stellar record. John Blackwell and Nolan Winter headline the program’s recent high school commits, while Max Klesmit, John Tonje and Kamari McGee have become big-time transfer additions.
