Awful news for Illinois, as Ty Rodgers suffered a knee injury during a pickup game that will require him to get surgery. Rodgers is out “indefinitely” with no clear timeline for return. Hoping for a speedy recovery, but have to imagine this could mean missing at least part of the season

Illinois brings Colgate assistant Camryn Crocker on staff, filling the void left by Tim Anderson 2 seasons ago — solid hire for an up-and-coming coach who was on staff for a very strong mid-major. #illini

BIG news today — Brad Underwood’s contract was extended through the 2030-31 season. (Bret Bielema also got a contract extension). TBD is whether Brad’s extension comes with a track suit and free flights to Serbia 😉

Illinois’ Kasparas Jakučionis’ official measurements from the NBA Draft Combine: 6’4 ¾ barefoot, 205.2 lbs with a 6’7 ¾" wingspan and 8’4" standing reach Jakucionis grew at least an inch, while adding 5 pounds from a year ago. Impressive measurements for a point guard. - Jonathan Givony

While we still know very little about the 2025-26 non-conference slate, @illinimbb.bsky.social put this graphic up on X — November 19th game against Alabama at the United Center (return game for our trip to Birmingham last year).

🚨 COMMIT ALERT 🚨 Illinois adds incoming freshman guard Blake Fagbemi from Benet Academy. The 6-1 guard previously committed to D-2 Truman State. Likely a deeper bench piece for the #illini, but this makes 14 filled roster spots

Great interview with Stojakovic up on Illini Inquirer. Love this quote re: defensive potential: “There is a sense of hunger to show the people especially in the Big Ten and different conferences to show that I'm a willing defender, can guard multiple positions, use my length, use my athleticism”

With Humrichous back, here’s the 2025-26 roster. Still a chance Illinois makes another addition: Tomislav Ivisic Zvonimir Ivisic Jason Jakstys David Mirkovic Ben Humrichous Jake Davis Ty Rodgers Kylan Boswell Andrej Stojakovic Keaton Wagler Brandon Lee Mihailo Petrovic AJ Redd

Ben Humrichous = confirmed BACK! Another talented piece that instills roster continuity. I know there were mixed feelings about Ben, but you bring him back in a role with fewer expectations where he can still be a dynamite 3-point threat off the bench. If he can shoot >37%. fantastic. #illini

Stojakovic, IMO, fits really well with Tomi as our distributor at the top-of-the-key. Think Will Riley’s cutting toward the end of the season and how easy he was able to get shots at the rim. Stojakovic has more natural strength and experience than Riley to finish tough 2’s. #illini

With Andrej Stojakovic, we’re getting a high-usage wing who was forced to do EVERYTHING for Cal last year (27% of possessions). I wouldn’t read too much into efficiency (32% from three, 48% from two). It’s more fitting to imagine him in our system. Can play him in “booty ball” or as a slasher/cutter

Now I can say it without jinxing us, imagine how funny it’d be to see this lineup on the floor / in a lineup graphic: Petrovic Stojakovic Mirkovic Ivisic Ivisic (It will never happen because that’s so unnecessarily big, but just imagine).

Say hello to the newest #illini! Andrej Stojakovic commits to Illinois! HUGE pick-up for Brad Underwood. Cal transfer wing could be our best scorer and provides tremendous length and upside. I-L-L!

Imagine how good Kylan Boswell is going to be if he has a decent senior year shooting the basketball. I’m chalking last year up to an anomaly. If he’s a ~35% threat from deep (which he eclipsed 2x at Arizona), he’s an all league caliber guard. Not to mention a DPOY candidate in the Big Ten.

Missing Illinois hoops. Rewatched the Xavier win. Amidst all of the portal madness, it’s easy to forget we got 2 major contributors back in Kylan Boswell and Tomislav Ivisic. Both were phenomenal in this opening round tournament win. #illini

I really like Mihailo Petrovic’s game. First thing that stands out is pure agility — he is so quick with the ball in his hands. I could see him being a transition unlock. He doesn’t quite look 6’3” — we’ll see if physicality translates to the Big Ten, but I love this add

Add Andrej Stojakovic to this roster, and I’m liking where things are shaking out. Probably need a good add at the 2 as well: 1. Boswell, Petrovic 2. TBD, Lee, Wagler 3. Stojakovic (?), Rodgers, Davis 4. Mirkovic, Humrichous (?) 5. Ivisic, Ivisic, Jakstys
