He said that almost verbatim in the press conference.

Who was the big dude with the ESLFD hat??
Didn't he have to sit out a year though because he didn't qualify?MLV did qualify. And is playing quite well too.

I'm OK with this recruiting class being done. I wouldn't mind them rolling the last two scholarships into next year for class balance. And by the way congratulations Mr. Tilmon! You round out an outstanding class!

A fifth year senior big would be nice, but it would be hard to say no to Epperson. If we land him, then I don't think we go after an immediately eligible guy if that happens. We really don't need to use both. A four or five seed in 17-18, and a Sweet 16 appearance with Final four expectations in 18-19!
Thought a month ago 2017-18 team would not be better than this year. Not so sure at this point. JT will be better defensively than MM, TJL will be better than TA, and the further improvement of MF, JCL, DW and the incoming fresh could be a powerhouse by tourney time.
Think if Epperson wants to come on board you have to take him. Then possibly a 5th year big so that Epperson could redshirt. Still wold achieve class balance that way. Also theres a possibility that Pickett coudl redshirt with the amount of wings we have on the roster.
JT feels terrible for putting JFG & co. (That includes us) through the ringer. He is a great kid and was just trying to look out for himself, and how could he not, with this being the biggest decision of his life.
But the real stinger was all the gold diggers in his ear. But Tilmon knows whats up. Just had to get the ship steared back in the right direction.
For these high profile recruits just always remember there is a TON of pressure on these kids regarding their college decisions, especially in the midnight hour.
So. Two more scholarships. Who's next?
Nope, went with black. Thanks.
Who's in Indiana?Looking like we're still fishing around Indiana
Couldn't help but notice that Robert deleted his tweet that said he expected Tilmon to sign with someone else. Can't blame him for expecting the snakebite I guess.
@ALionEye
@AHSILLINI32 I don't think he signs with Illinois. So I don't want to be anywhere near that presser.
And JFT.More like JFW.
