The Wisconsin men’s basketball program has officially released each player’s jersey number ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Wisconsin welcomes six new faces to campus this fall after an off-season with monumental personnel change.
Greg Gard and company have added three main transfers: Arkansas Central Guard Camren HunterMissouri guard John Tonje and Northern Illinois forward Xavier Amos.
The three will fill the gaps left by forward AJ Storr, fan-favorite point guard Chucky Hepburn and sharpshooter Connor Essegian after the trio transferred to Kansas, Louisville and Nebraska, respectively.
Hunter, good for 16.9 points, 5 rebounds and 3.9 assists on 42% shooting and 31% from 3 as a sophomore in 2022-23, will wear No. 3 next season — Essegian’s old number with UW.
Amos, a forward who recorded 13.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.3 blocks on 57% shooting and 38% from 3 in 2023-24, will wear the number 13 for Wisconsin this winter.
The Badgers’ final transfer, John Tonje, a reserve guard at Missouri in 2023-24 who averaged 14.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists at Colorado State in 2022-23, will wear No. 9.
Freshman Daniel Freitag, No. 103 in the class of 2024, No. 11 point guard, No. 3 in the state of Minnesota, will sport No. 5, the same number Tyler Wahl wore for five seasons.
Fellow newcomer Jack Robison, 247Sports’ No. 145 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, the No. 34 SF in the country and the No. 3 player in Minnesota, will be No. 2. Superstar forward AJ Storr wore the jersey number last season for Wisconsin.
Serbian signee Andrija Vukovic will also wear number 19 this fall. His addition was Gard’s last before UW’s home opener in November.
