Illinois has secured a top transfer target for its 2026 recruiting class.
Providence transfer Stefan Vaaks will play for the Fighting Illini next season, per On3.
Vaaks is the No. 2 transfer at his position, according to 247Sports after a strong season at Providence.
The 6-foot-7 guard averaged 15.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in his first and last season for the Friars.
It is a strong start for Illinois as they look to build off an appearance in the Final Four.
