SPARTANBURG, S.C.\u00a0–\u00a0Head Coach Marty Richer has announced Andrej Radivojevic to the 2026-27 signing class for USC Upstate Men’s Basketball ahead of the new campaign.\u00a0Radivojevic\u00a0comes to Upstate\u00a0after playing a season at Centre National du Basket Suisse in Switzerland-NLB.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Radivojevic was a standout player who averaged 10.9 points during the 2025-26 season while shooting 52 percent from the field and 75 percent from the charity stripe.\u00a0He held his own on the boards with 7.8\u00a0rebounds\u00a0a game\u00a0including 2.3 offensive rebounds and 5.5 defensive. He displayed his will to consistently score in double figures\u00a0with seven double figure games. Standing at seven feet, he averaged a\u00a0block\u00a0a\u00a0game,\u00a0and his wingspan forced offenses to cough the ball up where he added one steal a game. Coming from overseas, he looks to spring into the Marty Richter<\/a> system where his FIBA experience can fit in where Richter will be able to get him into the right spots with his skill.\u00a0His experience in the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup can easily translate to the Big South where many players in the post have dominated by taking\u00a0their game to the next level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Head Coach, Marty Richter<\/a> has expressed his excitement on the addition of\u00a0Radivojevic\u00a0mentioning, “Andrej\u00a0immediately\u00a0brings both size and international experience to our roster for the season ahead.\u00a0We’re\u00a0eager to help him bring his game to the next level here at Upstate and for him to be involved with the Spartan community on campus.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Andrej Radivojevic begins his new journey in Hub City, he will\u00a0be ready to report and develop under the loaded coaching staff led by Marty Richter<\/a> along with adding depth to the roster as the Spartans prepare for the next step in the new season. As he begins his journey,\u00a0Radivojevic\u00a0will prepare to\u00a0acclimate\u00a0the new system in front of\u00a0Spartan\u00a0Army.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SPARTANBURG, S.C.\u00a0–\u00a0Head Coach Marty Richer has announced Andrej Radivojevic to the 2026-27 signing class for USC Upstate Men’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":667562,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-667561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=667561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667561\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/667562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
