havn't seen any articles about how roster has been rebuilt, new recruits and TP guys. If anyone has any links would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Illini BB anyone have information on roster?
Here's the Illini roster from the school website.

You can go to illinois.scout.com and find a good amount of articles. Some are paywall protected. Or just google Illinois Basketball and you'll have plenty of articles come up. Here is one from Sports Illustrated that tracked the new guys coming in.

For a quick and dirty breakdown, Tomi Ivisic, Kylan Boswell, Ben Humrichous and Jake Davis are the returners from last year that will be a part of the rotation.
There's 2 new Freshman, Keaton Wagler and Brandon Lee. Wagler has been getting a lot of hype, and is expected to be in the top 8. Lee looked good in his first exhibition game, but may have a tough time finding many minutes this year.
There are 2 big Euro additions: PG Maihalo Petrovic and PF David Mirkovic. Petrovic is a veteran player that has been playing in Euro ball for a few years. He's still waiting for the NCAA to clear him so that's been a little frustrating. He's know as a very quick guard that can get to the rim and distribute. Mirkovic is a young, tough player. He had a big game in their first exhibition game. For a PF, he can handle the ball and pass it. Should be a plus rebounder. The Illinois State coach mentioned he looked like a smaller version of Jokavic.
There are 2 transfer additions in SF Andrej Stojakovich and C Zvonimir Ivisic. Stojakovich is the son of a former NBA player and came from Cal. He's expected to be one of the leading scorers with Tomi. He's been battling a knee injury, but looks close to coming back. Zvon is the brother of Tomi and comes from Arkansas and previously Kentucky. Great shot blocker, good shooter for a Center. The Ivisic brother should be a heck of a tandem.

I also recommend listening to Mike Latulip any time he is on the Illini Inquirer podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGuHw4AjQ-8
I just want to see some Ivisic twin towers action at some point this year. Intriguing possibilities at both ends of the floor.
