give him a complete release.

If they grant a release, he is free to play anywhere with immediate eligibility next year.

If they don't grant the release, then Tilmon can either play at Illinois or go somewhere else but give up a year of eligibility.

In reality, almost no one refuses to release an athlete from an LOI, especially after a coach gets fired. That's a good way to ensure other prospects don't want to sign there. Holding a recruit hostage when he really doesn't want to play for the new coach is not a good idea.

Cant illini block us from getting Tilmon? - Beakerbasher KC - 3/17 19:57:28
     No. An LOI is not a Scholarship Agreement(nm) - STL1DFW STL - 3/17 21:03:30
     Illinois has two choices: Force him to honor his LOI or - zodiac6 JC - 3/17 20:06:46
          Though for Tilmon they may prostitute themselves.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 3/17 20:09:28
               I'd think it would actually work exactly opposite of that - Cosmo MU - 3/17 20:12:27
                    Short term, long term. Most people think short.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 3/17 20:14:15
                         Neither term. - zodiac6 JC - 3/17 20:15:44
                              No doubt he could.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 3/17 20:20:29
                    And might have football repercussions, as well. - zodiac6 JC - 3/17 20:13:14
                         Absolutely (nm) - Cosmo MU - 3/17 20:15:04
               No way. Shouldn't have fired Groce if they really wanted - Diamond Dave MU - 3/17 20:10:59
               better chance of you falling in love with a referee (nm) - TigerwTLP MU - 3/17 20:10:45
                    Then zero you're saying?(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 3/17 20:13:30

                                             good lord, it's barely human (nm) - TigerwTLP MU - 3/17 20:19:42
                                                  My first impression.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 3/17 20:53:47
                                                  Close enough (nm) - Cosmo MU - 3/17 20:21:11
          One of the few situations where a player - Cosmo MU - 3/17 20:09:07
               They have even more leverage if they don't sign an LOI. - zodiac6 JC - 3/17 20:11:11
                    Exactly correct. Excellent post!(nm) - STL1DFW STL - 3/17 21:06:55
          Did Tilton sign? I thought he verbally committed in February - Da_Haze KC - 3/17 20:08:52
               Doesn't matter if he signed. Groce was fired. He's - Diamond Dave MU - 3/17 20:09:47
     Sort of can - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/17 20:00:41
     No, transfer is different from release from LOI(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/17 19:59:57
          Link. I can't find that they are different - tman KC - 3/17 20:00:51
               The school will not refuse to release, would kill recruiting - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/17 20:17:33
               They are different in that they can't limit the schools they - Ron Swanson MU - 3/17 20:05:35
               i can't remember a school refusing to release someone - TigerwTLP MU - 3/17 20:04:27
                    Devonte Graham at kansas was denied a release from App State - zodiac6 JC - 3/17 20:10:21
                         i didn't know that. and it's not like App St recruits well - TigerwTLP MU - 3/17 20:13:28
                    After the school loses their coach, it's pretty standard - Cosmo MU - 3/17 20:06:31
                         So CVL is free to go? - Diamond Dave MU - 3/17 20:09:02
