[illinimike]

Jeremiah saying he did not appreciate people bad mouthing him while he figured things out.

 

[illininks]

Okay that dig at Goodwin was awesome. In gest but funny!

Tilmon: "Everybody saying Jordan Goodwin gonna get Illinois Mr. Basketball but I doubt it"

 

[NEIlliniFan]

What exactly was said, I couldn't hear due to the audio...?

I caught something about a lot of people saying he said things that he didn't say. JT said he wanted to respond but knew he just needed to keep his head straight and not answer.

Something to that effect.

So biggest basketball recruit since....?

There's no way recruiting used to be this gut-wrenching and difficult.

Loving it though! Congratulations to the staff. And to think that after all of this hard work, our class will end up in ONLY the top 15. I'm looking forward to the day when Top 15 is (again) expected year-in and year-out. Sure hope JG is the guy to get us there.

Glad he is here but this shows people need to grow up it does hurt these recruits feelings when bs is sent out about them

So we get to celebrate Tilmon twice. I am okay with that.

Agreed. Social media is crap.

If it wasn't for Walker, he wouldn't have come here... interesting statement by JT

He will own the paint like a man.

Loved the intense look when he was talking about Mr. Basketball and Goodwin. That dude will be a force, boys and girls

LOVE MY ILLINI!

Exactly. As much as I want recruits to choose the Illini, these are high school kids making a huge decision. We may like it or not but show some respect.
