#Mizzou basketball signs Jeremiah Tilmon

May 15, 2017 By Bill Pollock

The Mizzou men’s basketball team signed 6’10 big man Jeremiah Tilmon on Monday. The East St. Louis native, who de-committed from Illinois, averaged 15.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks per game his senior year.

Tilmon is rated a four-star prospect. He’s ranked as the 42nd best player in the nation.

“It’s truly exciting to keep a young man like Jeremiah at home with Mizzou Basketball,” head coach Cuonzo Martin said in a statement. “Jeremiah, as a player and person, possesses the type of skill and presence we’d like to become a staple of this program. We feel that he has the ability to become a game-changing presence on both ends of the floor. His parents, April and Jeremiah, Sr., raised a son who we feel can really flourish at the University of Missouri.”

After opening up the process a month ago, several schools expressed interest. Tilmon had offers from Saint Louis, North Carolina, Kansas, Kansas State, Indiana, Michigan State, Texas, UCLA, North Carolina State and Iowa.
