Xavier Rathan-Mayes committed to Florida State on Saturday.

Illinois and Connecticut were the other two finalists for Rathan-Mayes, who is ranked as a top-25 player in the class of 2013.

Rathan-Mayes' father, Tharon Mayes, played for Florida State from 1987 until 1990.

Rathan-Mayes' commitment has a ripple effect, as he is very close to Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins is the top recruit in the class of 2014 and is expected to select between Florida State and Kentucky.

Xavier Rathan-Mayes will announce his college destination Saturday from his Toronto home.

Rathan-Mayes’ finalists are Illinois, Connecticut and Florida State.

Jaylon Tate committed to Illinois after visiting the campus on Thursday.

“I love the school, the program and the coaching staff,” Tate said. “It felt right immediately. This is a place I really want to be. Both coach Groce and coach [Paris] Parham made me feel really comfortable. They told me I’m their guy, they believe in me and that they just want me to go play my game.”

Tate, who also considered Ohio, believes he’ll thrive in John Groce’s perimeter-oriented offense.

“I’ve watched Ohio and coach Groce’s teams, and the style of play was definitely something I like and want to play in,” Tate said. “I have seen what coach Groce has done with his guards.”
