As a senior at Las Vegas powerhouse Findlay Prep, Tillman averaged 14.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and shot 62 percent. He could potentially play the three- or four-spot next year depending on Utah’s personnel, and he’s expected to make an early impact.
"I’ve got big plans," he said. "I’ve been watching a little film, working on changing direction and staying low. I think I’ll have the ball in my hands more. I have to prepare for all of that."
So far, Tillman is the only player signed to the Utes who will join this fall. In-state prospects Branden Carlson and Jaxon Brenchley signed in November, but are both serving LDS Church missions prior to beginning their Utah careers.
