HoosierPal Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 For the three Illini fans on this board, you might be interested in this article from the Chicago Trib on the newcomers and the outgoing players on the Illini roster. The author bashes Tilmon pretty hard and calls Pickett a Valley Player. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/ct-illinois-basketball-transfers-greenstein-spt-0527-20170526-column.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been excited to have both of those players signed with SLU. I think Tilmon could be a high risk high reward player. Knowing what we know about Tilmon and Picket today how would the posters feel if both would have signed with SLU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 CBFan you post an interesting question. The real issue as I see it is how did Ford deal with these issues, did he decide to go full throttle to try to get them, or not. The answer is he did not. I feel much better about someone that is a team player rather than about some kind of me, me, me type of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing what we know about Tilmon and Picket today how would the posters feel if both would have signed with SLU? There certainly could be some sour grapes in there, but the author was complimentary about Coleman-Landis who is transferring out, saying he was one of the best shooters in the Big Ten. You pose an interesting question. In light of today's SLU roster, you have to add, instead of which player. Of course the one open scholarship could go to one of the two, but then likely Anthony or Santos would not have been signed. There was something going on with the SLU-Pickett relationship that none of us know about. Frank C and Scott both reported it was going to happen, but of course it didn't. I would need to know what the issue is to say yeah, give him a schollie. Absent that knowledge, no on Pickett. As far as Tilmon over Anthony or Santos, probably a good trade. I have to believe that Ford and Tate are strong enough leaders to insure no single player undermines the team. Still would like a little understanding on 'the issues'. But give him a Blue Jersey.

Major Majerus Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm assuming Pickett turned down a redshirt year from us. I wish he had signed - I think it would've worked out for us & him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that should be added to the question. Even though it did not work out I am really happy with the team this season and think 2018-2019 when Gordon and Thatch are added that this team will be something special.

Old guy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 If you compare it to the sorry state we were at last year around this time (in terms of active players for the coming season), our current line up for next season is much much much better than it was.

We will be deep at wing, both this season and next season. I guess none of us MBM's will ever know why this didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Presumably this is the brother of known ogre and former NM St player Sim Bhullar who was dominated by Dwayne Evans in a literal David vs Goliath match-up back in the 2013 NCAA tournament. Unfortunately, Tanveer is "only" 7-2, 285 compared to Sim who was 7-5, 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I was on the 247 recruiting site and looked up Mr. Pickett. There is no Crystal Ball prediction for him. Offers listed include Illinois, Illinois State, Loyola, Drake, UIC and Tennessee State. SLU is listed but it says No Offer, same with Xavier. I have no idea how accurate this is, but when I linked into Pickett's visit to Illinois, it did show Tilmon at Missouri. So at least part of this story was correct. (Apparently they visited the same day.) http://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/Javon-Pickett-at-Belleville-East-151425/CurrentExpertPredictions Click on his name to see the offers and click on the Illinois visit date for more details.
