He joins a Wisconsin class of 2024 that finished ranked No. 62 in the nation by 247Sports. The class is headlined by top 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. It also includes three-star shooting guard Jack Robison.
Konop joins a new-look Wisconsin roster that now includes transfer additions Camren Hunter, John Tonje and Xavier Amos, Freitag, Robison and recent signee Andrija Vukovic. He will join the walk-on group that currently consists of Isaac Gard and Jack Janicki.
Wisconsin is still in preparation mode with the 2024-25 season five months from tip-off. The program will open the season with challenging out of conference games against Arizona, Marquette and Butler before a gauntlet Big Ten slate.
