The biggest recruit in the John Groce era is leaving the prep school he played last season at.
Five-star big man Jeremiah Tilmon, who committed to Illinois in July and picked the Illini ahead of bluebloods like Kansas and North Carolina, is transferring from La Lumiere, according to La Lumiere's coach Shane Heirman.
Thank you, Jeremiah Tilmon, for all of your contributions to the LaLu community. We wish you well moving forward!! #LaLuFamily
