As long as Illinois grants his release from his NLI, he can go to any school and play next year. If Illinois doesn't because he wants to go to Mizzou and they don't want that, they can not grant his release and he'd have to sit out a year to go there but that looks bad on the school.

WestCoastBilliken Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Until I see otherwise from JT's mouth... Im just going to assume Ford did some magic ($$$$) and got JT to commit. We going to the ship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is disputing that Tilmon would be huge. He's not coming here. It's between MU and sticking with Illinois. You're arguing with opponents who don't exist.

Why would he request his release and still be deciding between MU and Illinois? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Not sure if it's been noted, but getting Tilmon might probably be a good thing for SLU. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, taking him at his word, Tilmon said he is still considering Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After JG committed here and he called foul play by SLU he went private because a lot of people were calling him out for being ridiculous. He probably felt even more foolish when Goodwin said that Illinois wasn't even in his top 2. I would love to see Illinois and SLU play and for Goodwin to just bury them.

With you on Illinois being out. No idea where those schools stand. Seems pretty obvious it's MU, but what's he going to say, "I would like my release so I can go to Mizzou, thanks" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macallan 18 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Don't under estimate Coach Ford and Coach Tate. Could very well be MIZ, but I a not sold on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You choose the option none of them are pulling you to. That way you don't let any of them think you chose someone else in that circle over them.

JMM28 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 On a semi-related note, Illinois hired Orlando Antigua as an assistant today. That might be a better hire than Tilmon is a recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macallan 18 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Better than all three of Martin's assistant hires. Not impressed with those at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
615Billiken Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 To those that have been following JT for a while: Does SLU have a shot of landing him at all? I know that MU is the most likely bet, but trying to determine if I should even have hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a better hire than Tilmon is a recruit. Fired from USF after 3 poor years, and his only recent years as a head coach. Leaving Kentucky seems to be a bad choice. Not sure if its a homerun hire. I think SLU has the better assistants by far. Their only good assistant seems to be the Horizon league guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best outcome is that Mizzou goes under investigation and loses scholarships. Martin Obviously had contact with Tilmon under the no recruiting period.

It does seem strange that he didn't just wait until the recruiting period opened. And an incredibly stupid tweet from the ESL assistant coach.
