Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (November-December 2016)

[Deleted member 10676]

One day from the start of the early signing period and this board is totally dead. We need a rumor!

Will seeing which teams will probably pass us in the composite rankings do?

And I'm still wondering about Bowen. Been 100 per cent for MSU forever but he still hasn't made a date to announce and he was still taking visits last weekend. (yes, I know there's no way he's coming here, just find it curious for a guy who appears to be so solid for Sparty.) Also curious about where Eastern ends up. If both of them pick Izzo, that's another team that will pass us.

Tilmon, we're waiting on your Twitter "I'm signing with UofI" announcement...

I think I'm paranoid

I heard from a friend from St Louis that has "decent" connections that Tilmon is still 50/50 SLU Illini. Just sharing. I know if seems like he is a committed Illini because he has been on campus a lot and helping recruit. I sure hope he stays. I am assuming he thought Goodwin would follow. I am not claiming to know anything just sharing what a friend with decent connections told me.

No reason to be. He's solid

I believe that about as much as I believe Indy Orange rumors about Kris Wilkes.

I have a friend that claims to have decent connections to the staff but I know he's full of crap. We'd have thousands of insiders if all of these connections turned out to be true, but they're not most of the time.

If Tilmon leaves for SLU any chance we could get that Chastain guy?

Wait, are they "decent" or decent connections?? Those quotations can make a big difference, you know.

I think it's pretty safe to say that this isn't happening. Pickett is only 6'3"...

The attached picture is from March. I don't know if Pickett has grown or not since then.

Haven't been wrong yet.

Haven't been wrong yet.

There's a first time for everything. Glad this will be the first time for you.

 

[Greensboro]

Haven't been wrong yet.

With regards to Wilkes to IU or with regards to Wilkes at HH?

He also hasn't made his announcement yet.

You want like full board meltdown rumor or just a discussion point?

How was his visit to HH?

 

[Magoo]

How was his visit to HH?

Heard his car broke down on the interstate and he couldn't make it.....

Anything!

According to East St. Louis AD Leonard Manley, #Illini 5-star commit Jeremiah Tilmon will NOT ink his NLI on signing day tomorrow
I asked for a reason why Tiilmon would not sign with the #Illini tomorrow and was told: "He did not give a reason"

Well it's an early signing week Nov 9th-16th (not day) but still..

 

[mdonsbach]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Of course Tilmon isn't signing tomorrow.

 

[ChicagoChief]

No reason to be. He's solid

Lol, yeah?

 

[BlindLoyalty]

A top player should never sign a NLI.

Well, stuemke5, might as well give it to us straight.

 

[618 Illini]

A lot of these kids just want that big stage "I'm the man" moment where the school organizes a LeBron esque show for them. I am guessing once it is lined up, Tilmon will then proceed with putting the pen to paper.

 

[OWWDig]

Can a recruit sign a LOI before he qualifies academically?

Asking for a friend...
