The only thing that pollutes this thread more than Chastain lovers are the people that criticize the Chastain lovers.

Why? Coach K of Utah is a really good coach,

Met him waiting in line for a Gyro just south of Warren Central by Indy during open eval period around July 6 or so one year. Talked to him and asked who he was looking at...took me about 4 minutes to figure out this is a smart guy with a plan, passionate about hoops and was one of the few guys I thought might be as indefatigable a recruiter as John Groce. He is a nice guy too. Not too busy to talk to a stranger who asked a simple question.

Hopefully his sources are good:

Well-connected source tells me there's good reason for #Illini basketball fans to feel optimistic about Jeremiah Tilmon.

I'm told that a Tilmon college decision is likely to come in the next two weeks, and perhaps as soon as next week.

This is really good news for us. The longer this recruitment went on, the worse chance we had at landing him.

Messaged Wischnowsky and he said he heard all this in a Chicago barbershop. :thumb:

OK FWIW......

I'm also told that if Tilmon does commit to Illinois, the odds are strong that Jordan Goodwin follows. We'll see how it plays out. #illini

Just a complete guess but I think we end up with both or neither. Just reading the tea leaves. They both like Groce and UI...but they also want to win. Together they know they will do that, but separately they aren't as sure. I'm probably way off but that's the way I see it.
