If Tilmon does in fact commit to us, I'm wondering if this will finally warrant the elusive 5 Tom Cruises from Robert. If not something like a Top 20 big man in the country committing to the beloved, then what?

I was thinking about this too. I think he'll go with 4.5. Tilmon is top 20 but may not be the immediate, crazy difference maker 1 and done guy.
Won't stop me from feeling like it's a 10 Tom Cruise day though. Here's to hoping for good news at the altar.

From a North Carolina board. I almost feel guilty for the things I've said about them. Almost.

If he chooses IL, so be it. Good school...
Tilmon's early decision/commitment to IL would allow UNC to shift focus to the other PFs/Cs.

He would have a Thomas Bryant type impact. Play 24-27 minutes a game, average 6-7 rebounds, and 9-12 points. But defenses will have to pay attention to him. That'll open up JCL and AJ big time.

This is still only smoke, but man it smells so sweet...
Have to think he'd pair nicely with Finke. One guy scoring down low, one guy pulling a big defender out to the 3 point line

Stop making me so excited.
If eastern then it would be time now!!:thumb:
I've been thinking a Thomas Bryant comparison is close as well. Similarly ranked, similar size and a tier below 1 and done type. If Tilmon had Bryant's motor and Bryant had Tilmon's footwork they'd be good to go after a year IMO.

Since he posted is top 5 on snapchat, maybe it will be a snapchat announcement? I added him just in case.
Exactly. I listen to RyanK and Judge Yates in my 10+ years in here.
I am sure there are more recent quality posters, but I have been on sabbatical from Illini basketball. Hope to be back soon.
what is his snap chat name?
Twitter, more than likely with Piper. Like Damontes.
Also if it gets past 8 I'm worrying.
I see this as a no-lose situation. If he doesn't commit today it just means he's not quite ready to pull the trigger. Doesn't mean we won't get him in the future.
The amount of 30+ yr old dudes adding JT on snapchat today should be enough to sway his decision.

Hey Jenny Slater...
That is if you smell what the rock... is cookin!!!
Do you think it bothers him when a bunch of 30+ year old dudes follow him on twitter? He probably has it set up so people who add him can see his story but cannot snap him unless he adds them.
I don't have snapchat, so I don't know how it works. Do users get notified when they have somebody add them? Is adding contingent upon their accepting the request?
If so... maybe it's better not to flood him with requests. >_>

Yes and Yes. You're able to make it as private as you'd like.
