The Tilmon saga is over and I for one am happy about it. Believe what you want but we have gotten off of the rollercoaster and have moved on.
We did everything we could possibly do. Let him go to Mizzou and let's get ready for bragging rights

I don't believe for a second that BU hasn't/won't try to re-recruit Tilmon. There's no real downside.
Oh, there will be no shortage of posters willing to dispute that!
Keep an eye on former Georgetown commit Tremont Waters and MSU...Could be telling.
He told staff he didn't wanna visit OSU. He gave a silent verbal to Underwood. His OSU visit was cancelled. His OSU visit is back on. MSU wants another in home visit next week.
I have all the rumors covered?

If you really actually believe that BU and staff are "mad" at Tilmon and not interested in him after decomitting and looking at his options, you are laughably incorrect and completely nuts.
Just for Mark Smith. We also won't take Tilmon if he wants back in. :tsk:
Count me in that group as well. I was never that crazy about Tilmon but thinks he ends up here for some reason.I am of the tiny absolute minority that thinks Tilmon still ends up at Illinois.
I mean, I know you personally want to strive for some Moneyball-esque version of recruiting where resource inefficiencies are identified and ruthlessly destroyed, but it's just not a waste of time to get a talented kid on campus this late in the game. Kids are fickle. Stuff happens.

"Waste of time" was a poor choice of words. I don't mean for the tOSU staff necessarily. A waste of message board hoopla is what I should have said.

I'll be sure to share your stats & comments with The Smiths & Mark that you think He is not a good shooter(.) Here are your periods (.)
Smh....
Hello Hoopin:
I have seen some of you digust with various comments. Please don't be alarmed by the 1%.... Illini Nation as a whole and those infomed are all in on Mark Smith. I'm from Illinois and live in Lexington.... I can tell you that if the family wants a home for mark that will honor his career for the rest of his life in a State that will look out for him forever, there is only one choice here. What you could tell the family is that Mark is revered here, respected as a player, and also the guy that the History of Illinois basketball wants to to be responsible for it's rejuvenation. I will aslo say that in the Big time coaching circles (UK Staff included) the country is very antsy about what Brad Underwood brings to Illinois. His pace of play has been top 5 in the country and points per game is near the top.. People have yet to solve his guard friendly , multiple ways to win games ... Underwood is a name nobody in the coaching wolrd wanted in that seat because he is a real threat to that conference and basketball on the national scene. Let the family know that. Alos let them know that Illinois has tried to build a relationship withthis young man that is real .. Very real ... And it's a relationship wiht a state he will have forever. Not a phone call once a week from a blue blood school that just wants to keep confusing the family. Tell them to have him stay home and it will be the best decision he ever made. His parents will be embraced sgnificantly by Illini Nations as well.

Here's my time to shine as an insider! Was at Watson's for dinner tonight and was seated at a table right next to BU and Chin Coleman! They were hanging out with what looked like BU's kids and someone else. Anyway BU kept getting up from the table to take phone calls and when we were leaving was out front tucked into a corner in a pretty intense seeming phone call....Wonder what it was about?
