Report: Xavier Tillman to announce plans for next season on Sunday

Michigan State Basketball fans have been waiting to hear about Xavier Tillman Sr.’s future plans for next season for months, and it looks like that wait is finally going to come to an end on Sunday. According to a report from Jon Rothstein (which apparently came from Tillman’s mother), Xavier Tillman will announce his plans for next season on Sunday.

Tillman entered the NBA Draft process after last season, but maintained his college eligibility through that process.

Here is the report by Rothstein:

This decision will, obviously, have huge impacts not just for Michigan State but also for all of Men’s College Basketball. His presence alone makes the Spartans a championship contender and his veteran presence, on both sides of the court, would be a huge help given the young guards that will be steering the ship this season for MSU.

Then again, if Tillman does stay in the Draft, it would mean that he has received good feedback during the draft process, and that would also be great news. I personally see Tillman as a First Round prospect in the NBA Draft, and as a player who came into school ranked outside of the top-100 that is a tremendous achievement.
