We watched him in Indy this week and he may have taken a visit that flew a bit under the radar. Just a name to watch out for going forward

Thanks for the info. Must have been the tournament on the 23rd @ John Marshall HS against Indy Howe.  

 

The 6'9" East St Louis freshman had several wow moments.  He opened with a two handed dunk right in his man's grill which had the crowd buzzing.  Tilmon grabbed several nice offensive boards reaching right over his man.  The 2017 prospect posts up strong fighting for position.  His signature moment came with ESL down 1 point late when he banked in a 18 foot jumper followed by a swat on the other end as his opponent tried to take the lead.  Tilmon is an elite shot blocker even though at times it looked like he was playing not to block it despite no foul trouble.  He also displayed a quick hook shot that could be a go to move for him.  In the comeback win Tilmon went for 15 points, 4 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 1 steal.

Per Rabjohns this 5* center would like to make a visit to IU. From East St. Louis; pretty close for his family. Nice!

Have to love that big smile on his recruiting boards (espn, 247, etc).  Refreshing to see it not so serious for once, honestly.

Geez...I think I found a nugget of info. I check the first few pages of the recruiting board, and I post...

 

Only to find that ccg and Pap had the interest locked in about a year and a half ago!

 

Should've known.

Not sure where this kid actually grew up, but East St. Louis is an extremely rough area of the country. Hopefully he's a character kid who hasn't been influenced by that area. Looks pretty talented.

My wife's car broke down in East St. Louis once. Wasn't a great time.

Will try to make it out to one of his games if he plays in a nicer area.

I can't locate the precise date, but UCLA offered not all that many weeks ago and at the same time offered another kid on the team as well.

Good. Maybe Izzo will shy away from Williams now. I seen something the other day on this kid and we weren't mentioned in the 5 or so names he rattled off.

I think we may have Williams position wrong. He seems to be turning into a legit 3/4, oddly enough.
