I have seen a lot of negative talk in the chat, as there should be. Like I have said for months now, I think we are in store for two very long, very bad, very unfortunate seasons until we have something real to offer. I think kids are seeing through the coaches BS. Every coach has to BS at any level, just a matter of how good you are.. Maybe its what we have to sell or maybe its who is selling - either way were not really getting recruits. Next couple of weeks will be crucial for this program. I personally do not see any positives to come this way. Transitioned to D1 at the wrong time, and by that I mean we did not have a good enough team or a good enough program even to be able to make the jump. Bad decision all around and whoever helped vote in favor jobs should be seriously considered. Not only was it the wrong decision for just basketball and all sports as a whole, it will take the entire University down as a whole. I would hate to see USI become a place like SIU Carbondale or some scrub school thats known for being a trash place overall, but that is usually the descend that schools in our situation come to. Not sure when I believe there may be an actual hope for USI again, but it is not any time soon.

Aren’t season tickets available next month? Or is still time away from that since I would like to get some closer seats this time around

Or is still time away from that since I would like to get some closer seats this time around I think last year season ticket holders got first priority during the beginning of August. You would have a chance to change your seating if you wished. I could be wrong.

Tillmon was not on my radar at all At Florida AM 10.6 PPG/3.0 RPG 3 pt shooting wasn’t too hot last year Was a very good JUCO player during the 2021 and 2022 seasons

He will certainly be a good addition to an area of weakness. Have to edit this post. He shot 35% from 2 and 22% from 3. That is about as bad as one could be. 😬

His JUCO stats on the other hand…but we shall see how this will end up

I wonder why no mention of Martin in the article? I really want him since he was a former 4 star. Hope nothing happened to change his commitment.

Jordan gives USI an experienced D1 ballhandler. But a definite brick shooter.
If Martin left I'd be sick to my stomach.

I combed through social media and don’t see anything negative in regards to Martin. Possibly his singing was included because technically he was offered a few days before spring began. But his omission doesn’t make me feel real good.

He said he 110% committed but that doesn’t mean he signed yet. Maybe the USI athletic department hasn’t officially announced it since he only committed so far. Anthony can probably get us the answer with his contacts at USI.

Anthony can probably get us the answer with his contacts at USI. A healthy and confident Martin is critical to this team. Need a 4 man and another big guy.

Based on my recent conversations, there's nothing to worry about in regard to Taelon Martin's commitment. I haven't seen or heard anything in regard to an official signing, but that could be down to something being held up in the paperwork or something in that regard. In fact, his Instagram profile picture is one of the photos from his official visit. Given the mutual excitement surrounding his arrival, I would be stunned if anything changes. I could tell he was very excited about going to USI when I talked to him for the story I wrote after he committed.
