BOOM! Feed my ego.
This is why you need a guy like Orlando Antiqua. If you want big boy recruits you need big boy recruiters.
That ticks me off the most, if you are gonna ask out of your NLI, don't retweet your original commitment?
Can we stop with this talk? We're moving beyond this level now. No one player is going to define our future - would have helped alot - but I would hope we don't feel the desperation of the last 10 years.
Could be wrong, but thought that only applied to transfers.
What stinks is that Cuonzo was there at ESL to "visit his sister" not long ago...and coincidentally now JT is gone. Although that visit was before the recent announced recommitment. WhAt happened in the last 48 hours!?
How convenient this occurs hours after a scholarship becomes available at Missouri.

Maybe we already did and Tilmon didn't like it?Time to give Kiir a call...
In re-reading his message, his last sentence is "Illinois will always remain an option because of my ongoing relationship with Coach Walker but this is my future and I need to be certain before I come to campus in June."
That last part actually gives me some hope that he's still an Illini lean
There was a scholarship available before, as well.
What was the point of keeping Walker on the staff? This is turning into a disaster.
Disaster is a bit of a stretch. Walker was able to help keep Frazier, Williams, and Javon. That is really tough to do, keeping 3/4 of your incoming recruits with a brand new HC that none have a relationship with. Sure, JT is the "Prize" but he did a great job making sure everyone else stays.

If he goes to Missouri, they owned us this offseason. Let's be real here.
I don't think it is a disaster at all. I hope Walker wasn't kept just for Tilmon.
But....think there is any chance any of these players ask out after Tilmon goes?
