Tilmon signed with Illinois in November but was released from his national letter of intent on April 11, a few weeks after former coach John Groce’s firing.
Now, Tilmon has signed a financial-aid agreement with Missouri.
He’s a consensus four-star prospect and could provide much-needed frontcourt size for the Tigers.
