I am optimistic on MS announcement today. Cautiously optimistic. Not wearing my cup but keeping it close by.

I'm not sure, but I don't think that's how cups work...

of all the 89 guys MS reminds me the most of Nick, yes he has a ways to go to get to that level but, its just who I see more then gill or bardo or a combo of the 2

Yeah I agree. He isn't as thick as Nick at this age but with our strength and conditioning guy (we kept him, right? he was really had our guys cut and big last year) he will grown into that kind of body likely.

I know somebody said it earlier in the thread and I think took a little heat, but he reminds me more of a young DWILL. Obviously not at his college level but the way he moves and the smooth stroke remind me of him....and he is a tall guard.

Regardless I think he is going to be really good

If it's a foregone conclusion by everyone that Tilmon is headed to Mizzou (according to all of the crystal balls and Tate), then what is keeping Tilmon from committing? Is there a dependency (e.g, someone else committing first, open scholarship slot, etc.)? Just confused and curious.

This is coming from my buddy who is a huge Mizzou fan, so he follows them closely but doesn't claim to have any insider knowledge, but he said today that there are rumors about Tilmon having some issues with qualifying. Again, take this with a HUGE grain of salt.

Thats the rumor spread all over the tigerboard. Illinois folks who claim to know seem to think that's not true. Even if he still had work to do to qualify I doubt that would keep Conzou from taking his commitment.

This is based on no actual intel, but my personal assumption is that Conzou told him to just sit on it for awhile to avoid any appearance of tampering. The longer he waits the less likely it appears that Mizzou was involved with him while he was still signed here. Like I said just a guess, but I think its much more likely than the theory that he's still considering Illinois.

That didn't stop Anthony Davis from committing to Kentucky at the worst possible time - right after the story broke that his dad had demanded $250K for his son's services.
