brianstl Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It doesn't matter if the recruiting is open or not. As for as I know he hasn't been released from his NLOI yet. If he ends up at Mizzou....... I am just shocked that they would be this brazen when investigators are already looking into the academic fraud allegations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a better hire than Tilmon is a recruit. Speaking of academic fraud allegations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just SPUMAC being SPUMAC... a desperate program not afraid to delve into every gray area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely hasn't been released for NLI since he said in his release "we will wait patiently on the release from the NLI." It is odd and wouldn't shock me at all if they wait until after the weekend if he plans on visiting then. Can't be happy if he told Underwood and Walker he would stick with it only to switch a week or two later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorydays2013 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 In other news, Thatch just made it to the big time spotlight for the first time, will blow up this summer I am guessing http://www.scout.com/college/basketball/recruiting/story/1768590-highlights-fred-thatch First thing that showed up on VC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOne Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 New to the forum, but follow Bills closely. I wouldn't get hopes up on Tilmon - not because he wouldn't be a great addition to the squad from a marketing perspective, but because he doesn't have the work ethic to continue to develop at a rapid pace at the collegiate level. I'm not sure the coaching staff is still on him very closely. I've heard he has some bad "habits" that will inhibit his ability to contribute to the team. He doesn't "want it" as bad as some of the other guys do. Not that he didn't have a great season in high school ball this year, but he didn't reach the ceiling he was expected too. You saw this in the form of him not finishing in the top 3 Mr. Basketball ranks as well as him falling from 5* to 4* status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be very surprised how many NCAA athletes smoke weed and get away with it.... checked and JT did fall from top 25 ESPN to almost JGoodwin's rank and from 5* to 4* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
