Good morning, fam. It looks like we've reached critical hype levels this morning.

Today could be a good day.

My best source (who is very connected in college basketball, but not quite so much with Illinois) has told me there is "zero chance" that Tilmon will ever sign with Illinois.

I choose to doubt him on this one. I may be setting myself up for disappointment, but at least it's fun to hope.

my sources tell me these kind of posts are necessary to protect us from ourselves

I dont remember many of my dreams, and I rarely dream about Illini basketball anymore. A nightmare here and there.

Last night though I dreamt that Tilmon signed his LOI with us. It was awesome.

On the other hand, two nights ago I dreamt that my beard had suddenly disappeared, but it is still there.

On the other other hand, in the beard dream, it was a Wednesday, so it could be next week.

I got the go ahead to shave the beard. Those with sources, please advise me on the best time to move forward. Dream really does come true!

Well, "zero chance" kind of disqualifies his opinion...


So, when a recruit starts "smoking", all the other suitors panic and start promising the moon??? Good problem to have, but we've been here before like many have said.

Over/under on number of F5's hit on this thread today? I'll be throwing down at least 250.

Yeah, I hate when people use absolutes like that too. I'm assuming he was rounding down for emphasis :)

This was also about 3 weeks ago that he said this.

Like I said, I'm choosing to doubt him and hope for the best here. It sure seems like all the signs are pointing in the right direction right now. But it's always an uphill battle recruiting against currently successful, big time programs.

We really have very few insiders on this board. Those posting emojis as info are usually just those who have access to a premium board and want their 15 minutes of fame here. Quite entertaining

just to address PM's...no "news" from me on Tilmon. As I think I said before, this has pretty much been done for awhile...just no clue on a date to make it official....my guess would be that his last visit (i believe it was within last month or so) would have just been the final dilligence...

as I have said before here...dominoes....


GO BLUE :)

Fair statement. I'll stand by my emoji though! Start hitting refresh about 1:00.

This. It's good to hope, but I won't believe it until it's truly official.
