Top-30 prospect Jeremiah Tilmon has committed to Illinois, he told ESPN on Monday.Tilmon chose the Fighting Illini over a final list of Kansas, North Carolina, Michigan State, Texas and Missouri.I feel that I trust them and thats where my heart is telling me to be, Tilmon said. I feel that they believe in me and will do everything in their power to get me where I want to be. I have a great relationship with the coaches and Illinois is my home. East St. Louis is my hometown, I cant forget where I came from.Tilmon, a six-foot-10 center who plays for La Lumiere (Indiana), is ranked No. 29 in the ESPN 100 for the 2017 class, slotting in as the No. 6 center. Hes the highest-ranked prospect to commit to Illinois since John Groce took over in 2012, with the Fighting Illini reeling in five ESPN 100 prospects in the last four classes. The previous top recruit for Groce was Jalen Coleman-Lands, ranked No. 34 in 2015.Illinois has been on the losing end of several of these types of battles in the last couple of years, most notably when elite big man Cliff Alexander chose Kansas over the in-state Fighting Illini in 2014.It feels great, honestly, Tilmon said. I take pride in loyalty and thats one thing they are. I think we will do big things and go further than they have in a long time.Tilmon missed the Nike EYBL regular season and Peach Jam after dislocating his shoulder toward the end of his high school season, but he has shown the potential to be a dominant inside force at both ends of the floor when healthy. With Groce entering a key year in Champaign, picking up a commitment from Tilmon gives the Fighting Illini some momentum moving forward after a tumultuous season, both on and off the court. Illinois is expected to lose inside players Mike Thorne Jr. and Maverick Morgan after the 2016-17 season.Illinois now has three commitments in the 2017 class, with Tilmon joining four-star guard DaMonte Williams and shooting guard Javon Pickett. All three are Illinois natives. New England Patriots Gear . A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night.

"We had to dig deep with our fighting spirit and weve done that," United striker Wayne Rooney said. In Overwatchs brief history, one team has been the clear dominant player in the competitive scene. For anyone familiar with high-level play in Blizzards shiny new first-person shooter, the name of Team EnVyUs earned a reputation for near-invincibility, racking up win after win as spring turned to summer. EnVyUss 57-match winning streak made winning look easy, but what fun is a streak if nobody ever breaks it? And thats just what happened last week.Entering their semifinal match at ESLs Overwatch Atlantic Showdown, EnVyUs was slated the favorite, as usual. Initially forming during Overwatchs closed beta, a group of friends created a team then known as IDDQD, named after a cheat code from the original Doom (sadly, one Im old enough to remember first-hand). Competing in weekly cups against more established esports organizations, IDDQD were the kings of the Overwatch beta and most of that team eventually became part of the new EnVy Overwatch team after an April acquisition. And after June, they never stopped winning.Enter Team Rogue. The Atlantic Showdowns $100,000 pot is the largest yet for an Overwatch tournament, though soon-to-be eclipsed by the Overwatch Opens $300,000 prize pool. With well-established teams at the top and a fairly static map pool in competition, Rogue adopted a strategy of training hard on less popular maps in order to leverage their natural aggressive style and create imbalanced matchups by throwing the competition a curve. And what a curve it was.The biggest curve, I believe that we couldve done and did was throwing the unusual maps towards them, said Kevyn TviQ Lindstr?m to ESPN.com. With their limited practice time leading up to the event, we felt like Assault would be our best shot towards winning as we felt pretty comfortable on it. The payloads in general were really close and couldve gone either way, but we felt like we had the upper hand when we went into the Assault maps.And thats just what happened last week. EnVyUs was just as dangerous as always, but Rogue took their aggressive playstyle right at EnVyUs, winning the first game in the little-played Anubis map, thanks in a large part to the Reinhardt play of Jonathan Reinforce Larsson. Jokingly called Rhine-force, to his occasional chagrin, Reinforces typical take-no-prisoners style of play along with TviQs unconventional choice of using Junkrat for the entire round, gave them the big defensive stand needed to take Anubis over EnVyUss more standard lineup.ddddddddddddIn the end, the match against EnVyUs came down to a showdown in Lijiang, the rubber match taken by Rogue in large part due to the usual heroics from TviQ and and Dylan aKm Bignet. In a game in which the casters attention tend to focus on the offense players, there were other unsung heroes here: Benjamin uNKOE Chevasson and Jean-Louis KnOxXx Boyer both playing aggressively in their support roles, getting enough kills on their own, which disrupted EnVyUs enough to prevent their offensive players, Ronnie Talespin DuPree and Timo Taimou Kettunen from getting much ground to work with. Not to mention the Zarya work of Micha?l winz Bignet, running up kill streaks multiple times while clinging onto single-digit health.With TviQ a member of the original IDDQD team, I asked what it meant to him to be part of the team that ended EnVyUss streak and he told me that he cant deny that it meant quite a bit for [him] to be part of the team ending their streak, especially on LAN.Beating EnVyUs didnt end the weekend for Rogue as they still had to come back after that win to play the final against REUNITED, ranked second in the world at that time by Gosugamers Elo-derived method. After a rough game two for Rogue, when REUNITED took advantage of Rogues aggressiveness and took the point in Dorado, Rogue won two to win the match 3-1, closing it out with an overwhelming final push on Kings Road to take home the $40,000 first-place prize.Whats next for Team Rogue? After a tough loss to FaZe in the winners bracket of the Overwatch Open prelims on Friday that saw them lose on Anubis, one of their bread-and-butter maps, Rogue came back to easily defeat Tornado RoX and punch their ticket to Atlanta. As TviQ told me of course we have to remake the epic matchup we had at Atlantic against EnVyUs, which also qualified for their Regional Finals. However, to get to EnVyUs, theyll first have to beat the rest of the EU qualifiers. And anyone who has ever played king of the hill knows that once youve shoved off your friends and become the new king, youve got a big target on your back. ' ' '
