ORLIN WAGNER, ASSOCIATED PRESSNORMAL — There was a missing piece in Illinois State's deep dive this spring into the NCAA Transfer Portal — adding size in the frontcourt.
Joe Petrakis solves that problem while giving the Redbirds a different dimension than a traditional big man.
The 6-foot-10, 224-pound Petrakis announced Tuesday he will be transferring to ISU for his final two years of eligibility under new Redbird head coach Ryan Pedon.
