Rosemont, Ill. — Early this summer Xavier Tillman realized he needed to drop a few pounds.
“After the honeymoon it was getting my weight back down,” Tillman said. “I was eating good.”
Not exactly something you expect to hear from a typical college junior, but Tillman really never has been the typical college student. It’s hard to be when you arrived on campus as a freshman already a dad and committed to not just being a student and playing basketball, but being a family man, as well.
