Fouled out in 6 minutes as Utah pounded Missouri.

Saw that. wanted to say something but with the Preston situation Tilmon is looking like a saint. At least he gets to play

@BeddieKU23 I'm not sure how they got him eligible tbh. KU was pretty sure he wouldn't qualify.

@BShark

maybe the standards at KU are a little higher then Missouri? Regardless we didn't think Preston had a great chance but Oak Hill Magic came through

Was it ever confirmed he wasn't a take because of academics. I mean Missouri's coach skated the grey area of recruiting violations to land Tilmon. Hint hint show up at his school to visit his sister out of the blue..

True. Honestly I'd kill just to have Coleby or the Stache around now...

At least the staff feels very confident on Silvio.

Publicly I don't know. Might not have wanted to put that out there but it was "the word".

I just don't think we were ever a serious threat to land him. There was a moment in the spring where it looked promising. Just seemed like a longshot in the end

@BeddieKU23 I heard he was quite interested in KU. Doesn't really matter now, obviously.

@BShark

Not having Whitman is definitely a bizarre thing right now. I mean seriously?

Nov 17, 2017 02:07 PM #11

@BeddieKU23 Weirdly it should work out though. If he is on scholarship then the Silvio situation isn't even possible.

Nov 17, 2017 02:10 PM #12

@BShark

Yeah we have to hope that all works out. How quickly can Silvio learn how to play under Self. Having a 3rd big is the difference in the season.

Nov 17, 2017 02:12 PM #13

Well, assuming it works out we know Silvio is going to play. I think playing time is the best elixir for figuring stuff out.

@BeddieKU23

If he can spot Doke 5-8 minutes of rest per game it's a win-win.

Agreed.
