We have offered or shown interest in all of the following:

35 - Jordan Tucker (Offer)
42 - Malik Williams (Offer)
43 - Brandon Randolph (Offer)
59 - Jermaine Samuels (Offer)
60 - Kimani Lawrence (Interest)
66 - Terrence Lewis (Watched)
69 - Xavier Tillman (Offer)
74 - Nojel Eastern (Offer, but interest may lessen with Howard)
79 - Derek Culver (Offer)
92 - Galen Alexander (Interest)
97 - David Beatty (Recent Interest)
99 - Alex Barcello (Interest, Stan guy, may lessen with Howard)

Not sure where we stand with all of them, and of course who knows what really constitutes an "offer" but those are all guys we've at least put some due diligence in on.

I would assume that they have some interest in us, if we have offered them. Otherwise, we would have offers out to the top 35 players.

Not how it works.

A better way of stating this might be: if Marquette has offered a player, Wojo and the recruiting staff believe he has some level of interest.

If the coaches don't think we have a shot, I see no reason to offer a scholarship — unless you subscribe to the theory that making offers to high-profile recruits is good PR (questionable if you ask me).

Barcello played with Howard in high school for a bit.

Who really is the #1 or #2 priority this upcoming year in recruiting?  It is obvious Hauser, Bailey and Herro are 2018

Hard to know for sure but I would bet Xavier Tillman is one of them

Is it possible that you have Xavier Tillman mixed up with Donnie Tillman another PF from Michigan who now plays at Finley Prep?  I've seen MU mentioned with Donnie, but not with Xavier before.

Xavier was here for Madness and that kid is built for BE ball. I believe Stan is handling his recruitment.
