Clemson basketball could be in the running for yet another big name in the transfer portal.

After landing five key transfers this offseason after losing nine guys to graduation and the portal, it feels like Brad Brownell has a strong roster forming.

The Tigers have landed Nick Davidson (Nevada), Carter Welling (Utah Valley), RJ Godfrey (Georgia), Efrem Johnson (UAB), and Jake Wahlin (Utah). They also bring in a handful of freshmen, led by Zac Foster who will help the backcourt tremendously. But they're not done yet.

Clemson still needs some backcourt help after landing four bigs in the portal and Brownell likely has just one spot left to address that need.

According to reports, Clemson has reached out to Andrej Stojakovic.

Stojakovic is being recruited heavily by the likes of USC, Illinois, North Carolina, Florida, LSU, Cincinnati, UConn, and also the Tigers. It's not going to be easy to win this one.

It's easy to see why so many top teams are interested in Stojakovic, the son of former NBA star Peja Stojakovic, as he has plenty of size for a guard and can shoot the ball effectively. While his 3-point percentage wasn't exactly great at Cal, it figures to improve with more options around him so he's not the main focus for opposing defenses like he was in 2024-25.

Stojakovic averaged 17.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 43 percent from the floor, 32 percent from deep, and he improved his free throw shooting by about 30 points from his freshman season, converting on 82 percent from the charity stripe.

Clemson could use some backcourt help and Stojakovic has All-ACC first team potential.
