[Prep] Andrej

Had the board not gone down I was going to share that he committed to Illinois.

I hope his NBA career pans out because Stanford to Cal to Illinois is not the trend academically.
 
It's OK. Daddy has money.
I assumed that and going to Jesuit is part of what influenced the Stanford decision, and I guess I understood switching to Cal after the coaching change there.

And yeah I know these kids aren't students but at least until semi-recently you actually had to qualify for a Stanford admit.
 
I haven’t been following his journey too closely since he graduated from Jesuit but isn’t this his 3rd NCAA team in 3 years? Didn’t he do Stanford, then Cal and now Illinois? Transfer portal is wild.
Correct.

Also he had a "major break out game" at each school. I know he had one against my Wildcats. Then he had one or two last year but still transferred without gobs of fanfare. I think he's probably a second round or UDFA on a 2-way deal unless he breaks out for an entire season, kind of what we've seen from most second generation prospects, not counting Bronnie.
 
He's projected to be a late 2nd or UDFA guy so he might stay in college for his Senior season to collect the NIL money. He's an interesting enough prospect that I would take a chance on him. Curiously enough, for being Peja's son the shooting is probably the one big knock on him at this point. He's looked effective as a slasher and good enough on defense to fill a SF role in the NBA but he's got to be able to space the floor and right now he's shooting 31.8% on threes over 63 NCAA games.
