Tilmon is a Tiger
Missouri's commitment list now boasts four Rivals150 players. Jeremiah Tilmon, the nation's No. 42 prospect, is the latest to jump on board with Cuonzo Martin. The 6-foot-10 center from East St. Louis was officially announced as a Tiger moments ago.
Tilmon signed in the fall with Illinois. Following a coaching change, he seemed to reaffirm that commitment to Brad Underwood, but then asked for and was granted his release from Illinois. That became official on April 11th.
Tilmon had visits from Martin and Kansas assistant Kurtis Townsend after opening things back up. He liked what he heard from Martin enough to end his recruitment once again.
Tilmon gives Missouri a true center who can push for immediate meaningful minutes. He joins Michael Porter Jr., C.J. Roberts and Blake Harris as members of Mizzou's 2017 class along with graduate transfer Kassius Robertson. That class should move inside the top ten when Rivals.com next revises its team rankings.
PowerMizzou.com will try to reach Tilmon and hopes to have much more on the commitment.
