Jaylon Tate Commits to Illinois

[Burnsbros23]

Tate is a pg from chicago. Means they are probably out for XRM leaving us and FSU. Seems like FSU leads

 

[Zionn]

considering we have been out since visit was postponed - safe to say FSU lock.

Needed him to commit to fsu by his

Yes this definitely means that Illinois is out. It's us and fsu. At this point I'm about 90% sure it's not us.

 

[Clockshop]

Tate is considered a pure pg and not highly regarded. I still think Illinois is the favorite, JMO.

[husky99]

From what i am hearing, this has little to no impact on xrm

 

[HuskyAlum012]

Well since XRM is a sg, and we have terrence samuel already committed as a pg. I'm going to say this means absolutely nothing.

EDIT: However I did just check the Illinois rivals page and they already have 2 four star sg's committed for 2013. My hunch is he's going to FSU.

 

[husky99]

My guess
97.5 %and fsu
2.4% uconn
.1% illi

Played for Simeon so has good roots. 6'2" so has good size. But is only a 3-star player outside the top 150.

XRM knows where he is going. This will not affect it.

 

[huskiesnyc]

My gut has told me all along XRM is coming to UConn, and I'm not changing my mind until he commits elsewhere.

 

[Burnsbros23]

XRM wants to play some point in college. The fact that Illinois is going to plan B in Tate tells you that they feel they r out for XRM. Illinois had been selling XRM on the fact that they would use him like Deron Williams. Like ppl have said I consider him an FSU lean big time.

"Xavier Rathan-Mayes, where will you play your college ball next year?"

"Umm, I'm gonna play at Kentucky. Calipari just hooked me up with a Corvette so I'd thought I'd go there."

He's probably not good enough to ever see the floor with the recruiting class that UK has coming in.

Trust me. He would find some time anywhere.
