Guard Andrej Stojakovic has cut his list down to three programs — North Carolina, Illinois and Stanford, he announced on Sunday. Stanford made the list a year after he opted to leave the program and transfer to Cal instead for the 2024-25 season. He also considered North Carolina.
As for his new recruitment, Illinois earned a visit from Stojakovic and appeared to be the frontrunners to land him for the upcoming season.
