Tillman was named the Pac-12 Sixth Man of the Year in March, is said to be taking a leave of absence from the school and will miss the 2019-20 season. He could use a red-shirt year and rejoin Utes as a junior in 2020-21, among other options in his basketball career. BUt today he entered the transfer pool.
Tillman averaged 10.3 points per game, pulled down 5.3 rebounds as a Soph, and set new career-highs with 37% from three-point, 78% free throw percentage, 10 blocked shots and 18 steals – just starting in 14 of 30 games.

Hearing that his mom is sick, expect him to go home. Detroit or Vegas? I saw some Utah fans, bad mouthing him saying he was using the sickness to get out of playing for Utah. Right now he is playing behind Timmy "Buckets" Allen who is a Freshman, turning Sophomore year. The team has 5 Freshman and 6 in-coming HS players. No one ever stays more than 3 years for Coach Larry Krystkowiak.

We recruited Tillman out of Findlay Prep H.S, and how many players bounce back: Evan Burns, Chol, JJ O'Brien, X Thames among others...tell me why there is no connection? Has he provided a short list, NO. We all talked about MJ Cage (ORG), or Miles Norris (ORG) who recruited would land at SDSU may bounce back, are you telling me that there was no connection with them either? The same was true about Derryk Thornton when he left Duke, and to some degree Boogie when he left Duke. Thanks for the insight and the perspective.
