As I said, these silent commitments can change. That happens all the time. But we are very close on Tilmon and getting Williams helps.
I obviously cannot reveal my source or he won't be a source. He is also the one that told me (and I shared on here) nine days before Elijah Thomas committed that he was going to Texas A&M when everyone thought he was going to Oklahoma State or Illinois. He got his info from the coaches who told him that they could not match what A&M could offer.
He told me two weeks ago that Tilmon and Williams had committed to Groce. Like most of us, I know how shaky that can be. However, Williams came through with the verbal commit which gives me hope that perhaps Tilmon will, too. Groce has a relationship with Tilmon that goes back several years. But we also know that a blueblood can often sneak in late and change everything. That happened to Iowa two years ago with Ulis.
Also, I am not an "insider" like some in the past have claimed. I just happen to know one person well who has access to the program that very few have. He tells me what he knows, but we are dealing with teenagers so anything he hears cannot be etched in stone.
What's strange is if you had asked a lot of people the order of possible commitments between Goodwin and Tilmon a few months ago they would have said Goodwin and then maybe Tilmon. It looks like now that Tilmon could commit before Goodwin and he is the key to getting Goodwin instead of the other way around.
