Chris Vogt won’t have to sit on the sidelines for the upcoming college basketball season.

College basketball insider Jon Rothstein reported on Monday that Vogt will be immediately eligible to play at Wisconsin as a graduate transfer. He comes from Cincinnati and also spent time at Northern Kentucky before joining the Badgers.

Vogt brings a ton of experience to Madison, having played in 101 career games at the college level. The 7-foot-1 center has averaged 6.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game over his four seasons.

Last season, Vogt started in 21 of 23 games for the Bearcats and averaged 19.4 minutes. He averaged 5 points, 3.5 boards and 1.1 blocks per game.

With several pieces of last year’s team gone, Wisconsin was looking to add some immediate talent and experience to the roster. Greg Gard landed a good one with Vogt.

Wisconsin ended the 2020-21 season with an 18-13 record and was 10-10 in league play. The Badgers defeated North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to Baylor in Round 2.
