Tilmon is visiting MSU today?
He and Bowen. Izzo was into visit them both @ LaLu on 2/27 and LaLu team was in EL on VDay.

I'm assuming it's an official? Do we know if he has any others scheduled?
Nope. He did tell Evan Daniels about a month ago that he would not take officials until after the AAU season, which makes sense.
Sounds like the JT recruitment is going to be a real battle

And this is one thing I noticed having seen him 3 years at Pontiac on the Cube. Motor isn't always running full-tilt. Plus someone said he tweaked his knee in the 2nd quarter last night.

Previous reports have mentioned that Manual doesn't have a lot of height, so DMW spends a lot of time near the basket out of necessity.
Also, motor/consistency always seemed to be the knock on DJW too, but we haven't seen any of that this season.
Someone please tell me Jeremiah Tilmon is related to Lovie.

His mom loves Lovie.
I think he's his godfather
:congrats: :thumb:
Imo having a stable and potentially good, or at least high profile football program will only help bball recruiting
Agree 10000000%. Look what it's done for MSU. During a big game they have 5-10 big time recruits at the games.
I hate to say this as I like basketball more, but football is way more important to university success than basketball. Football will pay for everything sport with ease.
My feelings pecisely
So Combes, is there any word on what the hold up is on making Tillman a non-silent (loud?) verbal commit? I'm assuming it was Groce's job security but now I guess I'm just wondering what kind of time line we're looking at here? Thanks in advance
Goodwin just picked up an Iowa offer for football... Shows how much his athleticism has improved in the last year
Basketball is his first love though right? If not Lovie get on this kid!!!
Yes, basketball is his sport, but he is a hell of a football player too. He has only played football for two years. I would certainly think he plays basketball in college.

So now that ADJW has solidified Groce and handled football in three days, how soon can he handle meeting with Tillman and his mom and getting him to buy in?
You have to think that the wonderful things happening on the football side have to have some impact here right? JW has made it known in spades that he isn't willing to settle for mediocrity and will do his best to help set up our coaches to win. I like it!

Probably has been covertly in the making, so it should be shortly.
