Tillery developed his game at New Hampton School in New Hampshire, where he played alongside future college stars Mason Blackwood and James Sanderson. The point guard was ranked #53 nationally in the 2025 recruiting class, earning recognition as one of the top floor generals in his class. His recruitment led him to Cincinnati, where he committed and is now contributing to the Bearcats' program.
Playing Style
Standing at 6-0, Tillery brings prototypical size for the point guard position with the court awareness and decision-making that made him a coveted recruit. His ability to orchestrate an offense and find teammates in scoring positions demonstrates the basketball IQ that caught Cincinnati's attention. While his game is built around facilitating for others, he possesses the scoring ability to keep defenses honest. His transition to college basketball showcases a player who understands his role and executes within the system.
Recruitment
Now playing for Cincinnati after his recruitment as a top-60 national prospect, Tillery has already made the jump to college basketball. His development at the Division I level will be crucial for both his individual growth and the Bearcats' backcourt depth.
