Chooses Illinois Dainja announced via his personal Twitter account that he has decided to transfer to Illinois. Impact Dainja saw a very limited role over the first three games of the season for Baylor, as the Bears return their top two centers from a season ago and likely didn't have many more minutes available at the position. As a result, Dainja hit the transfer portal. It'd be highly unlikely to see him cleared for even a partial season, given how far past the NCAA deadline his decision came, though Dainja is likely positioning him to get in the center mix for the Illini as one of the eventual successors to Kofi Coburn, who many presume will turn pro after this season.
