Just an hour after Illinois Football curbstomped Northwestern to claim its first HAT in nearly a decade, Illinois Basketball picked up a big man from Baylor.
A little over a week ago, redshirt-freshman center Dain Dainja announced his intent to enter the transfer portal.
A four-star player in the class of 2020, Dainja was a top-100 player nationally, per 247Sports.
He hails from Minneapolis and had several big name offers, including Ohio State and Arizona State.
“Dain has been a great teammate during his two years in our program, first as a practice player while redshirting last year, and continuing into this season,” said Baylor head coach Scott Drew last week.
