There is a clear urgency with the search for some size after the 2025-26 campaign.
Entering this upcoming season, the Illini are set. We have Tomislav and Zvonimir Ivisic, both of whom can play in the paint or float out on the perimeter. David Mirkovic should be able to throw his body around in the paint, too.
After this season, there is some uncertainty. You can look at the Ivisic’s and think they are coming back next season, but there is a chance they don’t. It could be via the NBA or the transfer portal.
