Way To Early Portal additions I would love to have (assuming $$$ work) and team fit works.

Murauskas - St Mary's 6'8 235, Backup choice-maybe 1st choice, Scharnowski 6'9 230 Illinois kid, lefty, seems to be a BU kinda player.

Shelstad - Oregon 6'1 PG/SG, Backup choice-maybe 1st choice, as I don't think Shelstad would come to the ILLINI would be the Izaiah Pash listed above. That kid wants to get into the paint, and IF we have 3 pt shooters, we don't necassarily need a PG who shoots alot of them. Great size to his game as well.

Get both Ivisic bro's to return, of Andrej leaves so be it, would love to have his game again as far as taking over and driving on anyone, but at 24% 3 pt shooting, not worth the kind of $$$ he will want imo. Mirk a whole different story.

Nice to have guys who will take the ball to the hoop instead of settling for 3s.....

Sam Orme 6'9 230 joins Sharnowski and Lundblade has high priority from Blemont gets for a program...if we keep the Ivisic's not sure of our needs, however I wouldn't mind adding Sharnowski though.

Mar 26, 2026: Transfer
Sam Orme entered the transfer portal
https://247sports.com/player/sam-orme-46117582/

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/stats/_/id/5176310/sam-orme

Saw that too, I think we may be in on him actually, although I would rather have the Sharnowski guy to be honest. It will depend on who we have left after losses?

Don't know much about either. Depends on what you are looking for. Orme appears to be  more of a stretch big.  Almost 40% from three. Decent free throw shooter..

He would be similar to Stoyakovic imo, Sharnowski would be more like Augustine imo.

Orme (Indiana guy)  shoots the 3 at 42% and Sharnowski (illinois guy) is like 33%, but man he can run/rebound and pass.

I looked at some video..

Augie might not be a bad comparison for Drew Scharnowski. He is long, rebounds, scores mostly in the paint. Shoots almost 70% from the field. But only 44% on ft, 20% on very low volume from three. Runs the court. Dunno if he is an Augie level athlete though

Don't see Andrej in Sam Orme. More like Humrichous.

Still, I would take a Stojakovic that shoots 40% from three..

Agreed they were the only two that came to mind. Orme quite a bit of Andrej here imo.



Catch one of the first few sentences and subliminal messaging....BU you watching?

If we are not at least inquiring about Alex Wilkins from Furman as our next lead guard....I would be shocked. That kid can ball, has Wagler height build, and is only a freshman.

We would have 2 Tomi's

https://www.santafenewmexican.com/sports/with-buljan-lobos-benefit-from-european-pipeline/article_ad817d41-0f0b-49ec-8fe7-601efbf5b7d7.html, ILLINOIS mentions.

Mirk 2.0? Freshman record rebounding. Averaged 13.1 points and 10.3 rebounds.

Would still love to get Scharnowski to be a solid 4/5 guy, for sure Blackwell-legacy transfer (replace Boswell position)

Starting 5 next year potentially: 61 pts per game low side - 83 on the high side....Bench will come into play for some of those pt totals obviously, #1 offense again...KEEP knocking on that door!!

Blackwell (14-18 pts per game)
Coleman (8-12 pts per game)
Stoyakovic (15-22 pts per game)
Mirkovic (12-16 pts per game
Ivisic (Tomi) (12-15 pts per game)

Bench as of now:

Ivisic - (Z) (C)
Morillo (PG/CG)
Transfer ???
Rodgers (CG/SF)
Landon Davis (Redshirt possibility-PF)
Petrovic (Tough conversation-guess is we lose him to Euro?-Transfer replacement)
Jakstys (Bench 4-5 only-here for a degree)
Fagbemi (Bench only-practice player-no time)
Lee (Probable transfer imo)
Brown (PG/CG-minimal initial minutes)
Davis (Backup CG/SF possible starter)
