Kansas State has added Serbian guard Andrej Kostić on an NIL deal that is approximately $2.5 million, per a source with knowledge.
The amount was reported in Serbian media as $1 million, but the source said it’s more than double that.
The 6-foot-5 guard most recently played for Dynamic Balkan Bet in Serbia and is considered Serbia’s top prospect born in 2006.
Dynamic is Crvena Zvezda’s development team. He’s Zvezda’s player, so it will be interesting to find out if Zvezda gets any buyout.
He averaged 15.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in the U18 league, and and was the leader of Serbia’s U18 National Team on their 2024 Eurobasket silver medal squad.
Kansas State also added Akron transfer guard Nate Johnson, Monmouth transfer guard Abdi Bashir, North Carolina-Wilmington transfer forward Khamari McGriff and Memphis transfer forward Tyreek Smith. Kansas State also remains in the mix for McDonald’s All-American forward Niko Bundalo of Prolific Prep (CA), who decommitted from Washington and obtained his release.
