Ever since his release from intent at the University of Illinois, big man Jeremiah Tilmon has effectively disappeared from the radar. When will we hear from him again?

Tilmon, a four-star center from St. Louis, IL, had previously committed to Illinois. Following a change-up in the Illini coaching staff, Tilmon reaffirmed his commitment, and then decided that he wanted out.

The week after the weekend visits of Michael Porter, Jr., and Kevin Knox, Illinois begrudgingly granted Tilmon his release.

Many figured that once Tilmon was released from his commitment, that he would basically flip his commit to Missouri, but surprisingly, all has been quiet on that front.

To our knowledge, Tilmon has not visited any other programs, and definitely has not made a sound about where he might commit, or if he even has a short list.

According to 247 sports, Missouri is the only program that seems likely to land the 6′ 10″ recruit.

With Missouri already having secured commitments from Blake Harris and Michael Porter, Jr., all Mizzou needs is a commitment from either Kevin Knox or Tilmon, and the other will likely follow with his commitment.

Just like Knox, Michael Porter, Jr., and Blake Harris, Tilmon will also start from day one for the Tigers.
