So they just happened to notice this afternoon that there's a women's game tomorrow.*

Reading the whole thing again, they moved it TO the State Farm Center

I get that you're trying to protect yourself, but there is no need for them to do any of that stuff.

I haven't ever worn a cup. I hate cups and yell at people here who wear them.

Given that he sent his LOI, I feel like we'd have heard a leak by now if it was another school.*

OB25
November 16, 2016, 17:15:58
I hope so.

The fact that all the IL beat guys are playing it coy gives me hope.

Good point. I hope.*

cpsteine
November 16, 2016, 16:36:44
So it's just coincidental that they realized the conflict right as news of Tilmon signing came out?

Illiniphil
November 16, 2016, 16:33:45
Werner also said they were considering 11AM and 5:40PM before settling on 2:40. So that's good.*

November 16, 2016, 16:33:35
or JG doesn't know yet and will cancel the presser if the news goes south.*
-
MJC73
November 16, 2016, 16:23:12
Groce knows. Tilmon has signed, which means someone has his LOI.
-
Illiniphil
November 16, 2016, 16:24:17
Technically it just says he signed the LOI. Doesn't say he sent it to anyone.*

MrHershey
November 16, 2016, 17:07:39
Nevermind, also forgot today was last day.*

MrHershey
November 16, 2016, 17:08:30
If there's a signed NLOI, then Groce knows either way.*

He's not going to comment on Tilmon if he signed with someone else.

I'm guessing that the fact that the WCIA sports guy reported it first is your leak.

Groce had a noon press conference scheduled for tomorrow. It has been moved to 2:40pm*

MrHershey

if he did sign a NLOI, it would seem to preclude SLU if they in fact are fearful of NCAA....

The fact that Cusumano had it first still seems dodgy for us*

To be fair, he never de-committed*
