College basketball transfer portal: The top 20 Chicago area players in the the transfer portal--Chicago Sun-Times
15. Joey St. Pierre, Richmond-Burton (UW-Milwaukee)
The numbers won’t jump out at you, but the size will. And big men are a commodity. St. Pierre is a legit 6-10, 275-pound back-to-the-basket behemoth who was mildly productive in his first taste of Division I basketball this past season.
Following three seasons at Division II Wisconsin-Parkside –– and sitting out a year after transferring to UW-Milwaukee –– he started 29 games and played 24 minutes a game for the recently fired Pat Baldwin this past season.
He averaged 6.3 and 5.7 rebounds while converting 59 percent from the field. But his free-throw shooting (25 of 52) is cause for concern.
18. Zion Young, Simeon (Oakland)
There are some up-and-down numbers to sift through as he has now played two seasons at Western Illinois and two at Oakland.
He had a breakthrough season for the Leathernecks in the Summit League as a sophomore in 2019-20. The powerfully built guard averaged 13.2 points, chipping in 4.5 rebounds a game while starting 25 games.
He played mostly off the bench as a junior following a transfer to Oakland in the Horizon League, averaging 7.8 points, and was limited to just seven games this past season due to an injury.Other players in the transfer portal from Illinois:

16. Tanner Holden | 6-6 wing | junior | Wright State
Holden will certainly be among the most productive scorers to enter the portal, having averaged 20 points per game in the Horizon League this year on his way to his second-straight Horizon League first-team all-league honors. He just carried Wright State to the NCAA Tournament, where he put up an awesome 37-point performance against Bryant that led Wright State to a First Four win. Holden is a foul magnet, a guy who constantly attacks, plays well off of two feet, absorbs contact, and either finishes or gets to the line. He also moves well off the ball and finds points off of cuts, scoring more points off of cuts — per Synergy — than any wing in the country, largely playing off of Grant Basile post-ups and motion offense back-cuts. Holden has proven he is an excellent player, but this one is all going to be about fit. Holden doesn’t fit everywhere as a wing because he’s a reluctant shooter who won’t have the ball as much at a high-major stop. But he should be a high-major starter next year due to his age, experience, basketball IQ, and well-rounded game.
