For the first time all month, something didn’t go in Steve Wojciechowski’s favor.
On Friday, Xavier Tillman, a top 100 power forward in the class of 2017, made a verbal commitment to Michigan State, choosing the Spartans over Marquette and Purdue. He visited all three schools in the month of September, wrapping things up with a trip to Milwaukee a week ago.
Tillman was the third of four high school seniors to take a visit to Marquette in the month of September, making the Al McGuire Center a very busy spot over the last month. Two of the other three, Theo John and Jamal Cain, have already committed to Marquette, while Hasahn French is still taking official visits before making a decision.
