"Dain Dainja Commits to Memphis Basketball from Illinois Transfer"
Dain Dainja, a 6-foot-10, 258-pound transfer from Illinois, chose to join Memphis basketball under coach Penny Hardaway, citing the program's early interest in him and his comfort during the visit. With two seasons of eligibility remaining, Dainja fills a significant void for Hardaway's roster, which is largely being rebuilt through the transfer portal. After a substantial role in his first season at Illinois, Dainja's playing time and production diminished in his second season, prompting his decision to transfer.
