Washington State have added some international flair and size to the roster for 2024-2025 season. The program announced the signing of Serbian center Dimitrije Vukicevic earlier this week.
Vukicevic is a seven-footer who played in Austria last season. Appearing in 31 games for St. Poelten, he averaged 2.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, making 27 of his 39 field goal attempts from inside the three-point line. He is 19 years old.

The front-court depth that comes with this addition is much-needed. As of early July, Vukicevic is the only center listed on WSUโs 2024-2025 roster.
Vukicevic will join a Washington State program preparing for their first season under head coach David Riley. Riley spent the previous three seasons coaching at Eastern Washington University.
