You don't really want him to change teams and start blowing up nationally, it's just more competition for him on the recruiting trail. Tate and Ford are working to build a relationship with him.

The 2018 roster depth by position looks strong across the board. PLAYERS listed in no particular order. POINT GUARD..........JG, JB, TG SHOOTING GUARD..........AH, FT CENTER..........CG, LS SMALL FORWARD.........JB, JJ POWER FORWARD..........DF, HF, EW Clearly SLU has the luxury to fill that last scholarship with the best player they can get. My preference would be a big swing guy.........like Joseph Reece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think either would be great additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford has proven he can land kids that have "blown up nationally." Considering the quality of recruits Ford has been going after, I think the bigger question is... is this kid better than some of the other options we will have?

johnbj14 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Jontay Porter just committed to Mizzou. Supposedly going to reclassify to 2017. (yeah I know we weren't recruiting him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily see an unhappy Tilmon leading to him transferring when the coach's son gets more minutes. And it could be deserving, still leads to thoughts of playing favorites with 2 of your kids on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Remember that great Kentucky team from a few years back? Didn't even make the tournament and lost in the first NIT round to Robert Morris. All I'm saying is not all great teams on paper perform on the court. I'm glad Mizzou fans now have high expectations. As we do. One piece of bread is like a steak meal to a starving shipwrecked soul. Which is what followers of both programs have been for the recent past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also the Cuonzo coached 2015-2016 Cal team with 2 top 8 recruits (both in the top 5 according to Scout) and another 3 star recruit joining a Cal team that had 18 wins the year before with Wallace as a senior who was drafted after the season that went 12-6 in Pac-12 play before losing as a 4 seed to 13 seed Hawaii.

Bideschied did not fail because he was bad or lacked talent, he failed because he himself resisted all efforts to get him to play as part of a team, had an exorbitant opinion about his self worth and importance, and took offense quickly thinking he was being put down by the coaches whenever they tried to correct his flaws. Clock's post is basically comparing the personalities and attitudes of both players, Biedschied, the failed one, and Tilmon, who still has a chance to make his college career work for himself and move forward in life. I think we all wish him good luck with his career and hope he does not blow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt Clock knows the kid except via the media........and you know how reliable and honest the media is.....not very. I took the post as hoping Tilmon fails.
