they offered today, tillman confirmed to volquest.com. i talked to them thursday or friday for the first time. I was shocked. It's so last minute. I wasn't expecting it but it's a blessing.
coach clay helton was at the school seeing one of their commitments, palaie gaoteote, and he told me that he really liked my film and my size, tillman recalled. he said if he couldn't make a place for me that he would do anything he could to help me, and that's basically how i got introduced to tennessee.
the question now is what does tillman do? He has offers from unlv and hawaii. He admits he also had been exploring the possibility of even walking on somewhere after teams like utah called late last week. At this point, tillman doesn't know his next move. He hopes to figure that out on monday with some conversations with his coaches at bishop-gorman.
right now, i'm going to talk to my coach about things. Tennessee wants me to come see them sometime after signing day, said tillman, who has made multiple visits to mississippi to see family.
i'm just a late bloomer, tillman offered. my sophomore year i got hurt. I shattered my forearm and needed two surgeries. So i miseed that year. My junior year, i didn't play a lot. We had a really good team and i was 6-foot, and 170-175 pounds. This year, i played at almost 6-4 and 205-pounds. I grew a lot between my junior and senior year. I also got faster.
