Good take.
Let me add, if/when Tilmon actually goes to UNC for a visit then we should be worried.
Nobody knows where Tilmon is going and maybe he ends up at the U of I. To say that Illini fans shouldn't worry about an in home visit from UNC is silly. We should worry if UNC sends a letter to one of our targets.

Stylin' and Profilin'
The reporter reporting on the source, who is the reporter, who is the source. Ah, forget it...
Well the fact that Goodwin already knows where he's going but is just enjoying the process may be the same thing that rings true with tilmon , just enjoying the process but already knows where he wants to be.
NY2LA BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION - 17U NORTH DIVISION PROSPECT PRIMER
Evan Flood — Contributing Editor - NY2LASPORTS.COM
17U NORTH DIVISION PLAYERS TO WATCH
Terrence Lewis – 2017 – SF – Playground Elite
Talk about a player that’s revamped his game since last summer, Lewis looks like a much different player. He brought out some new tricks during his junior season, but continued his stellar play at the NY2LA Swish N’ Dish. He’s always been a viscous player in the paint who never gets outworked, but Lewis has clearly worked hard on his three-point shooting and hits from downtown consistently. A glass cleaner and powerful finisher against contact, Lewis’ new finesse compliments his junkyard dog mentality quite nicely.
Connor Niego – 2017 – F – Chicago Lockdown
When you’re a 6-foot-8 wing who can handle and shoot the basketball, you’re a pretty attractive prospect. Niego is just that. A late bloomer in the class of 2017, keep an eye on Niego over the next several months. A player that’s still filling out his frame, Niego’s best days are ahead of him. Able to face up from the high post and slash or take his game to the perimeter, Niego can produce in different ways. Also a strong rebounder and passer on the interior, Niego aids a team across the board.

3 terms that I read on here all the time that I never will believe in and leaves me smh..silent verbal, uncommitable offer and insider.
I really hope Groce can get him for '16... Would help tremendously

If we're talking about the 2017 PG, supposedly he has a top 5 of Ohio State, NC State, Louisville, Cleveland State and Virginia Tech.

The tweet referenced in that article has been deleted, so take it for what it's worth...

Recruiting is fluid?
I remember reading an article saying he was considering reclassifying to 2016 and he reopened his commitment beyond the top 5. TC knows more about it though.

Interesting, have we been in touch? I haven't seen much of anything linking us to him. Would certainly be a heck of a get.
Does anybody else repeatedly get denied by Roy when requesting to follow on Twitter?
You are correct. Markell named a top 5 on March 7th and then late in March announced he was re-opening his recruitment. He also mentioned re-classifying to 2016 and that looks like it will not happen. The OSU and Louisville offers have now "closed" up. Remember, Groce sort of surprised us with the Nichols and Bragg recruitments, so he definitely knows his way around Cleveland. We'll see.

Not much linked to us however like TC has said, Groce certainly has relationships in Ohio and surprised us out of nowhere with Kipper and got far with Bragg
Please don't infect this board with their idiocy.
First sign you're an idiot is when you have to have a "protected" twitter account.

Beat me to it.
Except for silent verbals happen ALL THE TIME to every school and are worth nothing.
Getting Terrance Lewis sounds better and better each week. Did Groce get in on him just in time before everyone else comes calling?
If you had to pick between Trent Frazier and Charlie Moore, who do you pick?
First come first serve, baby!!

Frazier is a '17. Moore will select a school before (probably long before) Frazier does.
Yeah, I know. Just wondering what people think about them. But if we did end up with Moore (which is unlikely) then we wouldn't take a PG in 17'.
