I'm expecting something like 10 pts, 7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, negligible assists (0.5 - 1)

Realistically what could one expect from Tilmon as a freshmen?
10 points
5 rebounds
2 assists
1 block
Would that be crazy or on the low end?
I think we are set up for disappointment if this is where we are setting the bar.
Disagree.
The minutes will be there since we are so short inside. James Augustine in 21 minutes a games averaged:
7 Pts
6 Rbd
.8 Assists
.8 Blocks
Timon will likely see more minutes and will likely be a bigger part of the offense than Augie was as Freshman with Cook, Dee, Deron etc.

He is an excellent passer. One of his strengths.
Tilmon's not a scoring machine but rather very adept @ rebounding (10.9 rpg) and a good defender. People looking for big time scoring might be disappointed.

i'm sorry if this has been answered, but will Tilmon play the 4 in college?

Wow
Hopefully we will look back at this spring as the low point in Illinois basketball since Bruce Pearl dreamed that he saw Deon Thomas in a blazer.
Glad to have some positive momentum. Certainly seems like Goodwin is in reach . .
Just some quick points
Did Weber have talent? You.tube the Texas 2010 game, had McCamey (PG), Paul (SG), Davis (PF), Richmond (SF), Meyers (C) at various times of the game. Pretty solid line-up. In hindsight missing on Evan Turner really hurt. Rose was never coming (grades) and Gordon would of given us one year at most. Turner gave OSU 3 very good years. Also Weber recruited too many projects that could do one thing but were lacking in many other areas especially driblling/shooting.
Tilmon really needs 2-3 years, if he leaves after one year I fear he will drop in the draft similiar to Stone, Davis, Ebbisserre, and the Kansas players. Tilmon's early presence will be defense and rebounding, he isn't a ball hog. Team Chemistry is going to be very important as we will be gaining a very talented 2017 class to go along with a talented experienced group (JCL, Black, Finke, DJ, etc)
