Man, Avery Johnson has gotten a heck of a class down at Alabama.
It's a different sport, but I've always considered that the closest comp to Lovie.

You do know that a lot of the schools getting 5 Stars players that were mentioned above have Sucked for a long time right ? So just Winning doesn't explain why their recruiting has gone through the roof when they now have Coaches with a past history of being known cheats.
Which schools do you guys think are the biggest surprises in recruiting for 2017?
For some reason, I feel better losing JT to Kansas instead of SLU if he decommits. Obviously, i'd prefer he not decommmit.
Granted recruiting rankings don't mean everything, but if you go over to 247Sports and plug JT into SLU's recruiting class, their ranking is lower than Illinois' currently is.
Coupled with the fact that the rest of SLU's existing roster has much less talent than Illinois, I can't see them making any sort of national splash at any point that JT would be there.
By stringing together a few more classes in a row after 2017, they absolutely could down the road and Goodwin would be a major part of it - just don't see it happening in their first 2 years (look at TAMU last year).
Of course he's going to win. The point is, will they be better than Illinois during the two years Tilmon is in college? If Tilmon went to Illinois, Illinois would be better than SLU would be with Tilmon during those two years.I can't tell what you mean by this, but last year was the first year with their big recruiting class and they certainly made a national splash.
I just continue to not understand this thought of he's not going to win at SLU, but he would here. If they land him, they are going to be in a good spot next year, and a very good spot his sophomore year (he is not close to a one and done imo). I'm not saying they are final 4 good like some of the crazies on their message board are already proclaiming. But good enough that they should be easily in the tournament, and you know that come March, any team can make a run for a few games.
Do we know if the staff is still in contact with Tillmon? Of if he's shut them down ala Goodwin.
This is the best news I've heard since Pickett's tweet.They are in contact

He continues to talk to Groce and the assistants and tells them that he is still coming.
We shall see.
Hes gone time to move on...My guys just confirmed he has been talking with 2 other schools and SLU is one of the 2 not sure who 2nd school is....

This has NOTHING to do with winning.

This is not new. SLU has talked to him for weeks. Kansas is calling.
This is big boy recruiting. No reason to move on until it is over. So far, he is still telling the coaches he is coming and his mom wants him here. Will he end up elsewhere? Could happen. But no reason to bail now.
Jeff Johnson tweeted that Tilmon to SLU is all but a done deal.
