Illinois still has one available scholarship for the 2019-20 season, and coach Brad Underwood is still actively searching for someone to fill it.

ESPN’s Jeff Borzello reported on Tuesday that Illinois is one of several teams to reach out to Boston University graduate transfer Tyler Scanlon. The 6-foot-7, 215-pound wing has one year of eligibility left and will be immediately eligible. He averaged 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists for the Terriers last season.

Borzello reports that Scanlon told him Belmont, George Washington, Minnesota, Richmond and Arkansas also have reached out.

A team captain for Boston last season, Scanlon started 84 games for the Terriers the last three seasons. He is a career 37.9 percent 3-point shooter and would give Illinois another potential shooting threat, which it coveted during its pursuit of junior-college guard Tomas Woldetensae who ultimately committed to Virginia.

Illinois returns a strong group of guards in Ayo Dosunmu, Trent Frazier and Andres Feliz, and the Illini should be more formidable up front with surprise freshman Giorgi Bezhanishvili gaining another year of development and the addition of top-60 big man Kofi Cockburn, a 6-foot-10, 290-pound center.

But the Illini must replace its best 3-point shooter, graduated guard Aaron Jordan. While Tevian Jones (29.5%) and Alan Griffin (30.4%) showed some potential behind the arc and are expected to take steps forward, Scanlon would give Illinois an additional proven Division-I floor spacer. Last season, he also led BU in minutes (33.5 per game), defensive rebounds (131) and steals (44) and shot 80.0 percent from the free-throw line.

Illinois has made all of its Class of 2019 additions during the spring. Cockburn signed with the Illini in April, big man Bernard Kouma signed in May and Belgian forward Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk committed to Illinois this week.

Thanks to the return of more than 86 percent of its scoring, Illinois is expected to take a step forward in the Big Ten that lost a lot of talent from last season, especially at Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue and Wisconsin.
