Jeremiah Tilmon has asked for his release from #Illinois. Assuming the #Illini give it to him, #Mizzou likely to be considered favorite

A starting lineup of

Harris
Barnett
Porter Jr
Knox
Tillman

I know that would have Barnett out of position I believe or you could switch him and porter but man this would be insane.

If only we'd have given Kim Anderson more time...

That would definitely be a super group. Those kids would give anybody in the NCAA a run for their money.

Assembling the new Fab 5?

If he gets his release within the next few days, he could be at Mizzou with MPJ, Knox, et al.

The big question would be whether they could gel in time to get a top 5 seed.

It's just impossible to overstate how important seeding is. Getting a team through clean to the Sweet 16, especially a young one that needs to see some live fire, is enormous.

If that team comes out and goes .500 through non-con play, they're setting themselves up to have to scramble to get into the tournament at all. If they enter the conference slate at 6-6, they'd likely need to go 16-6 over the last 22 to get in and even that may not be enough.

That's the thing with these rebuilds when they get down to the studs; if you completely gut a team, you need them to get together in a HURRY or your margin for error has pretty well vanished. 16-6 is tough sledding even for a solid, veteran team. When you're looking at an extremely talented but extremely young team in a conference that has Kentucky and Florida, not to mention a hell of a lot of genuinely good coaches on lesser programs that could jump up and bite you at any time.

But man, get out at 10-2 and you're off to the races with a shot at a genuinely good seed.

Damn - the reasonably cheap seats are gone, leaving pretty much nosebleeds or the $850/st or better season tickets.

Fucked off and didn't make up my mind for too long. Idiot.
