Nope. Just signed That Whitman kid from W&M.
Had not seen that, makes things interesting. I was going off of the link I posted.
William & Mary graduate transfer Jack Whitman just committed to Kansas......somebody about to get creaned
I don't think the Tilmon talk got started up again just because Mark Smith mentioned him. That certainly added to it though. He's still available in the 2017 class, so I think it's completely appropriate to bring him up in the recruiting thread.
KU is filled up and Mizzou is trying to get the younger Porter brother to reclassify. If it's true and he's back living with his Mom, it makes sense that there would be smoke. She's on our side.
Frankly, I don't think anyone really knows what Tilmon's plans are and based on what I've heard, the Corey Evans report is a little out of date.

Anyone know Mizzou's scholarship situation? How many do they have open?

Really not that much difference in Milan to Chicago vs Milan to D.C in either time or fare. Dulles or Reagan are closer to Charlottesville than O'Hare to Champaign, but not that much. Of course even that difference will be negated once they complete the Peotone Int'l Airport
The biggest problem to that Reagan-Milan flight is that it is not legally possible.
They have 2, but if Jontay Porter reclassifies he is going to Mizzou. Leaving them with 1 or Tilmon's sport, whichever way you wanna look at it.
Both, I think.

She wants him at Illinois and she likes Jamall.
He said at least twice he'd never have committed here except for Jamall. Now other people are involved that never wanted him at Illinois, Jamall, Groce, or otherwise.

They aren't in the mix with him. Teammate (Iggy) is a better possibility.

I wish he'd do something, I've grown really weary of this saga!
Is Knox still a large possibility to land at Mizzou?
Not really, but the lack of info doesn't help. I get why people would say move on --in fact I posted something along those lines myself when he first asked out of his LOI.
I'm personally thinking it's about 75% that we'll find someone to guard the 5 spot who currently isn't on the roster. If we go all month without resolving, I'll start to wonder though. IMHO JT isn't likely, but the fact that he hasn't committed elsewhere is puzzling, as is the general lack of info about where he's headed, as well as the fact that we know Mark Smith is recruiting him, and has been in contact quite recently.
So far, I've been impressed with how BU and staff have handled themselves. They have a fantastic win signing Illinois Mr. Basketball, Mark Smith, and have been moving quickly to get recruiting rolling. I get the impression they are much more dialed in to what works, and recognize how to get the kind of talent and fit they will win with.
If you know something definitive, by all means share it....
Stronger possibility for NC or Duke.
Exactly my thoughts. Thanks for that thought , I think many feel this way. Resolving the big man situation is one that all concerned about, even coach and staff.
That remark was do to you adding the She loves Groce . Walker has been our in all along with JT and he still is . Mom says he is like a brother to her, and JT says he is like an Uncle. Ever been around a kid who's Parents are fighting ??? Most times they do not say anything that would give one more to yell about

Just heard Ramey Jets AAU coach talk on Tay and J show, he sort of let out that Javon may have regretted decomitting, and that he's an Illini at heart

I was listening and I took it as though Javon made a bad decision in the heat of the moment that he regrets. I'm thinking he made a decision based on the decision JT made and now that things have changed he regrets it.
He also said that Ohio State has requested his transcripts.
