Story: Former Brad Underwood recruit TJ Holyfield is leaving Stephen F. Austin & will be a grad transfer. The 6-foot-8 forward started every game for Underwood as a freshman at SFA.

Could satisfy a major need at the four-spot.https://t.co/uNU2dizEDJ

It's very early, but 2 things becoming clear:
1) Illinois is active on the grad transfer market for a 4 man, which should come as no surprise.
2) Pretty darn talented group of grad transfers this year, particularly with bigs, if the early crop is any indication.
