<p>MADISON, Wis. &mdash; Wisconsin announced the addition of 7-foot-1 center and Cincinnati transfer Chris Vogt on Friday.</p>
<p>Vogt started 50 games at Cincinnati. He averaged 5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks and 19.4 minutes last season, all drops from the previous season.</p>
<p>“Chris brings depth to our frontcourt, he’s played at a high level, and he has four years of experience under his belt” Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said in a statement. “The fit also aligned well academically for Chris here at Wisconsin."</p>
<p>Wisconsin will be Vogt’s third college. He spent two seasons at Northern Kentucky before transferring to Cincinnati.</p>
<p>“I think that Wisconsin was the best fit for me, both on and off the court,” Vogt said in a statement. “I fit very well into this program’s style of play and Wisconsin is a very good school to get an MBA from.”</p>
