Band Legend Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I surmise they're talking about Tillmon's mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majerus mojo Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 fwiw, heard the 'UI bought Tilmon's mom a house' rumor from someone connected to Illinois back in January ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock_Tower Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I thought cash was fine as long as in a nice leather briefcase? Did Illinois forget the leather briefcase? And didn't Illini fans accuse SLU of paying money to get Goodwin, and then possibly Pickett and Tilmon etc? Funny!! Guess things are getting sticky getting Mom"s house back. So much eiasier to send a guy in to retrieve the briefcase, or with Dr C, we can now just forget about the briefcase and move on.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I wonder if there would be interest from SLU in Rozelle Nix who is an immediately eligible transfer form Pitt. He is 6'11" 300. He didn't do much at Pitt last season coming off a foot injury. Pitt is a mess right now. Only two players returning from last season's team.

Old guy Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 If I recall correctly Stallings was one of the favorite candidates for this board when we were choosing a replacement for Crews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 It's possible that what Tillmon and his handlers are pulling off a brilliant shakedown. Imagine this: he knows that he is not going to qualify academically, and that he is going to play in Europe next year, but he's being hounded by college coaches. So, he slowly and very quietly makes his way around to any school that shows interest. In the process, he gets his mom a house from Illinoi$, he gets a car from Mi$$ou, he gets leather briefcases full of money from SLU and DePaul. In the end he goes to none of them, and heads to Europe flush with cash and knowing his mom is being taken care. When the school realize they've been duped, they can't exactly complain to anyone.

SLURadioBoy Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Frank mentioned on his show today that SLU has been involved with Tilmon and the fact that it's so close to home is a factor. He did say though that he believes the coaching staff thinks, "if he wants to come here, he will come to us." So basically it sounds like they aren't recruiting him very hard and have possibly grown tired of the drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
