Former Cal guard Andrej Stojakovic committed to Illinois on Monday.
Stojakovic, the son of former Sacramento Kings All-Star Peja Stojakovic, made the announcement in a post to X. He chose the Illini over North Carolina and Stanford.
“They really believe I’m the missing piece to what they think is a national championship team,” he told ESPN.
Stojakovic spent his freshman year at Stanford before transferring to Bay Area rival Cal for 2024-25.
A former five-star high school recruit, Stojakovic’s numbers rose sharply with the Golden Bears, as he averaged 17.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in 29 games (28 starts). He was named to the All-ACC Tournament team.
In 61 games (38 starts) between Stanford and Cal, the 6-foot-7 guard has career averages of 12.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest. Previous suitors included Texas, UCLA and Oregon.
