Illinois has been hurt by recruiting misses and nails in coffins. I would like to see Tilmon commit to Illinois, but I'm holding my breath and waiting for official word.
Seems like momentum is shifting Illinois' way and that's a good thing. Just have to keep up the positive vibes. The CB switch by Meyer is a darn good sign and I'm excited about that. Hopefully, others follow suit and the dominoes fall.

While I agree that most recruits would reconsider where they would play I think some are pretty set in what school they truly want to play for. I thought Williams might be one of those like what Hill was. I don't think Hill cared who became coach he was coming here.
Then there is some smoke. Just wanted to make sure smoke is outside of this board.
Were we even expecting one this week? At least today through Sunday right?
Wasn't the timeline next week at the earliest?
As a reminder the concession vendor was spot on his information that ET wasn't coming to CU.
Ah I see I see.
That is to be expected, unless he loves the school so much that it did not matter.
More importantly, I very much doubt that JW would bring in a repalcement that would make such kids reconsider. IMHO of course.
Tomorrow being April Fool's Day, I get the feeling that these "insiders" posting Tilmon is committing soon are actually Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan fans putting together the most elaborate April Fool's joke. They even got Jerry Meyer and his crystal balls in on the action.
I've got the bottle of tequila ready for a celebratory shot though in case this is an April Christmas for us Illini hoops fans.

Can we ban ever using the term "Christmas" as a descriptive word for the potential of a top recruit commitment.
IT'S A WAR ON CHRISTMAS!
There is truth that there is interest.
Yup, Iowa too, plus Bruce flying in to see him.
So if iowa or purdue offers, he will be officially "B10 caliber" right? But he's not B10 caliber until he gets the first B10 offer (from a team other than UofI)....at least that's how I understand it.
Im just glad you get it

Would rather have a player like Lewis so we can redshirt a 17 like Pickett than Chastain who probably wont see playing time at his first year and with everyone potentially coming in probably not his second either.

And have patience to get the job done, but also give up on the guy who is working hard (and possibly starting to gain recruiting traction).
He's B10 caliber.
We're wing rich, and big poor. IF we have a scholly availiable it probably will go to a post player id imagine
I think you got it right. Also you have to remember the Double Standard Rule. Lewis doesn't have an offer from a Big Ten school other than Illinois, but you get an exemption if you're from out of state or play higher than 1A ball. Therefore, Lewis is also Big Ten caliber.
