Groce and Whitman meet with Tilmon and mother while in Indy?!?!
Was that a statement that they did / are, or a question as to whether they should?

....while we're at it. Can't hurt. He can pass on his "excitement" about being part of the Illinois familyMore of a question with hopes of optimistic responses. Just curious if there are any rumors of this possibility.
Nebraska offers 2017 SF Charles Payton
Holding three scholarship offers, Bloomington (Ill.) 2017 small forward Charles Payton received his first high major opportunity prior to his junior season. Often first to the punch, especially in the state of Illinois, head coach Tim Miles and the Huskers came calling for Payton.

Side note, I believe Payton transferred to a smaller school. Like Olympia. Correct me if I am wrong
I think the Payton that transferred to Olympia is his older brother, who is pretty good as well.

Scratch that. Charles is the older one transferring to Olympia, Chris is the younger brother that is supposed to be the better of the two.
Chris is not better than Charles. Maybe he could be when he's older, but Charles is the one producing the most and is getting the most attention.
Weird that this is being brought up right now though, Charles was offered by Nebraska back in July..
Yeah he's not a freak athlete but I've only seen him play once. Not anymore athletic than Pickett and Pickett is putting similar numbers against much, much better competition. To be honest, a 1A player with that size should be getting more rebounds and blocks. I'd agree that they should look at him(because it doesn't hurt), but there's not much to see from Illinois' perspective. Nothing against him, we just need bigs, period.
Either way, he'll play at a high major and that's awesome when you come from a small town like Le Roy.
To the post above: Washington and Rock Island High School are like 10 times bigger than Le Roy. This even smaller than what Meyers Leonard came from.
Pickett's athleticism is being majorly inflated on this board. He's not even close to the same athlete as Chastain.
I've not seen Chastain play, but I've seen Pickett plays 25-30 times in the last few years. Pickett is not a great athlete by any means. I've said this before, but he plays really similar to how Malcolm played at East. Great body control, slightly above average athlete, but nothing spectacular athletically.
Leroy (Chastain) play at 12:15 in state tourney today. IHSA.org (I think) televises it. Kind of interesting -- http://www.news-gazette.com/sports/...l/2016-03-11/sneak-peek-leroy-vs-liberty.html shows Chastain as the center -- my guess is because he is the tallest player.

Tilmon is at home in ESL for LaLu's break. Not Indy

streams here:You can watch LeRoy High School's Matt Chastain in the 1A Semifinal on CSN Chicago at Noon today -- March 11.
Well there goes that wish. Hopefully the meeting will happen soon, at least before Michigan State makes their Final Four run. I enjoyed seeing Whitman celebrating with the players after the win yesterday.
