Indy Orange, too!!

He'll end up at IU. Book it.

 

[bigruss22]

Derek is that you?

lmao

 

[Trakis]

Cusumano seems sold him to Illinois... maybe he couldn't get into the school?

 

[spin13]

The old IB. I was at Midnight Madness when Gordon showed up in Bloomington for theirs. While still an Illini commit.
Worst night ever, Then we got Jeremy Piven. Double nut punch.

I'm with you. I'm thinking he signs tonight and announces it tomorrow.

Derek is that you?

No, Derek is a true insider

So #illini coach John Groce was scheduled to have his press conference at noon tomorrow. Moved to 2:40 p.m.

Tilmon announces at 1 p.m.

Tay and J feel really good about Illinois' chances.

Frank feels Tilmon is solid to Illinois.

Press conference scheduled at State Farm Center, change from noon to 2:40 while Tilmon has a press conference at 1...

 

[wcrasta2]

Groce is pushing back his presser tomorrow to about 2:45 PM. Tay and J are excited!

everything on Tay and J sounds good.

 

[ChiefIllini]

So Groce just changed his presser from noon to 2:45 tomorrow.

 

[illinimike]

If Groce really moved the press conference that makes me feel pretty great.

Listening to Tay and J makes me think this is going to be the case.

delete - everyone already posted it

 

[sacraig]

Consider:

• Groce had a press conference scheduled for tomorrow at noon.
• It just came out that Tilmon was making an announcement at 1:00 pm tomorrow.
• Tay and Jay just said that the press conference has been moved to 2:40.

I'm feeling pretty good now.

EDIT: Dang I was too late because I spent too much time finding the Milhouse gif.

 

[WesterveltVictoryCigar]

Jay Price is no longer on the staff.

 

[dweebs19]

I've never seen a recruit to make an announcement to reopen his recruitment. I think he already signed his NLOI and tomorrow he does the formality stuff where he wears the hat and everyone takes pics and all that.

 

[sacraig]

Jay Price is no longer on the staff.

Yeah but let's not pretend that our whole program hasn't been a Milhouse recently.

 

[Trakis]

I don't get it. Why do this? Why commit to Illinois, sign the NLI at the buzzer, then tell nobody until some super formal press conference a day later?

Idk this seems super weird to me.
