Tilmon is likely gone. But if we lose TF too that would be a real hit.
Tilmon is likely not gone if Walker is retained.

No, it isn't. The odds of getting three numbers right in the Illinois lottery are are 1 : 467. Unfortunately getting only three right doesn't pay very well for a D1 school.KansasIllinifan said:That's a lot of misses. 0 for 21 is not bad, is it??0 for 21 is not bad, is it??![]()

London Perrantes
Scoochie Smith
2014
Quentin Snider
Shelton Mitchell
2015
Jalen Brunson
Jawun Evans
Marcus Lovett
Jamal Murray (people felt like we had a legit shot before he blew up and reclassified)
Shake Milton
Jimmy Whitt
Landry Shamet
2016
Charlie Moore
Alterique Gilbert
Xavier Simpson
Bryce Aiken
Tony Carr
Lamar Peters
That's not even mentioning guys we may have had a chance with but decided not to offer: Tyler Ulis, Glenn Watson, and Luwane Pipkins, among others.
Close to 75 percent of the guys on that list would have saved Groce's job.
That's a lot of misses.
I've never understood why recruits that we DID offer but they chose NOT to come are considered "misses" by the fan base. What were we supposed to do? Hogtie them and force them to come somehow? Can someone enlighten me as to why every recruit that turns out good, even though we DID offer, is still considered a "miss".
The only recruits that I would ever consider a "miss" are the ones NOT recruited, such as the ones in bold above.
No I'm seriously asking
I'll be at the Avantis on campus before tip off sporting Illini orange. Can't wait to see Mark Smith live tonight after following him ever since he started blowing up. My prediction is 58-53 Eville
How can I watch this game online?
by going here and paying 10 bucks. But you also get 6 super sectionals and if you click on 'watch later' you can watch them all one after the other, although they're all live. Last year I had six tabs open and didn't see any game all the way through but i'll be sticking with Simeon-Edwardsville tonight -- watch the others later.
But this is the only place it's available.

How common is it for assistants to be retained though? Especially ones that have followed a HC around for a while? I'm pessimistic about being able to retain Walker and Tilmon.Tilmon is likely not gone if Walker is retained.

Messiah Jones on an 8-0 personal run to start the 3Q. Simeon leads Edwardsville 52-31.
Jacobs-Fremd seems to be working ok. Think I'll flip over to that. This game -- what I've seen of it -- has been a big let down so far. I expected Simeon to win, but not like this.
Why do so many feel fairly optimistic about our chances of getting Mark Smith? Has he said something that alludes to him wanting to play at Illinois? Are there any other schools that he seems high on?
