Believe it or not, but when Jeremiah Tilmon joins Cuonzo Martin’s basketball program this summer, he’ll be just the 10th St. Louis area recruit to play for the Tigers straight from high school since the program’s last regular-season conference championship in 1994.
That’s just 10 St. Louis metro area recruits in 24 recruiting cycles. (We’re not counting area players who came to Mizzou via the transfer market, like Cam Biedscheid or Jordan Barnett.)
Tilmon follows these St. Louis area players to come to Mizzou straight out of high school:
Cullen VanLeer, Pacific (2015-current): 4.8 career points per game
Ryan Rosburg, Marquette (2012-16): 4.2 ppg, 3.0 rebounds per game
Matt Lawrence, Lafayette (2005-09): 8.0 ppg, 244 3-pointers
Kalen Grimes, Hazelwood Central (2004-07): 4.1 ppg, 3.4 rpg
Jimmy McKinney, Vashon (2002-06): 9.3 ppg, 2.8 assists per game
Johnnie Parker, Webster Groves (1997-01): 4.2 ppg, 3.1 rpg
Pat Schumacher, Hazelwood Central (1998-2001): 2.4 ppg, 1.5 rpg
Brian Grawer, Pattonville (1997-01): 7.8 ppg, 2.7 apg
