Tilmon

Is there something going on behind the scenes? Why did Jerry Meyer flip Tilmon to Mizzou as well?

Chris Payton from Bloomington (my alma mater) looks like a stud. Only a sophomore.

Watched him in the state semis/3rd place game.

Rebounding machine, shows touch around the rim, good size, athletic.

Only have a 2 game sample size though.

Didn't he visit Illinois last year? Haven't heard much on him since then. He's definitely athletic enough. Has an older brother that transferred to small school Olympia who could be a player too. Charles was highly rated and will be headed to junior college I believe. Maybe take both of them in a couple years?

Obviously a great player. What's his deal? Could we sneak in the back door of that recruitment?

That was the plan under Groce, as he had a offer out to Shane Heriman. Don't know if Underwood could pull it off or not. He will probably try especially with 3 spots to fill. Heirman seems like he wants to use his current position and turn it into a high level assistant gig, but if some other school gets wind of what illinois could do, I imagine lots of them will try to do it too.

#Illini '18 rec Ayo Dosunmu on new Coach Brad Underwood: I like the up-tempo style of play. I saw them play on tv, he offered me @ OK State.

This is big. Didn't realize there was a pre-existing relationship between BU and Ayo. I know Ayo likes Illinois, here's hoping he likes BU too. Ayo is at his best playing up-tempo.

fwiw - JM on his Tilmon pick. Thinks Kahn-zo is going to get him.

[FONT=&quot]@jerrymeyer247 Any specific reason on your changing of Tilmon prediction to Mizzou?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]@Micky_D86 Think Cuonzo gets him[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]@jerrymeyer247 Any thoughts on Mark Smith's destination?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]@Dihvinity @GibsonsWrath Just have heard that Missouri is going to go after him[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]@Dihvinity @jerrymeyer247 for clicks and ad revenue....Last I checked he still has a signed LOI with UI, picking a "new team" now seems bit premature and silly.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Jerry Meyer‏ @jerrymeyer247 [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]@IlliniNationNet @Dihvinity Also, I am trying to pick correctly. Being right mean a lot more to me than money made by the company.[/FONT]

Absolutely no way. Even with the Porter's, Mizzou is not in that great of a situation right now. I could see SLU but not Mizzou.

EDIT well maybe if they get Walker but otherwise, Jerry Meyer is so off base here

I'm not going to bite on this Tilmon stuff yet. Gonna wait to see where the dice fall with Walker.

Brian Bowen unofficially visits DePaul Blue Demons

DePaual is still in on him? Wow!

Plus Creighton. I would guess he's waiting to see if Bridges stays at MSU and who stays at Zona. His recruitment has been strange but we have as about a good a chance as Depaul and we haven't been involved for months

What he posted is probably the least blatant premium-leaking this site has seen since February.

maybe, but this was probably the quickest.

ps - and quickest both ways. on here from there, and people mentioning what showed up here back on there.
clicking back and forth it was like whiplash.
