Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Jeffrey Jordan, the son of Michael Jordan, plans to attend Illinois next year and play basketball as a walk-on.Jordan, a 6-foot-2 guard at Loyola Academy prep school in Wilmette, Ill., said in a news release Friday he chose Illinois over Valparaiso. "After I worked out at Illinois, [met] with the coaching staff and the players, and toured the campus with my mom, I just felt more comfortable with U of I," he said. Jordan was a three-year starter at Loyola Academy and two-year All Catholic League player.He told Illinois coach Bruce Weber of his plans on Wednesday. NCAA rules bar Weber or his staff from commenting on walk-on players before they enroll. As a walk-on, Jordan will have no scholarship and will not sign a letter of intent, meaning his commitment is nonbinding. Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press</div>LinkIt is going to be strange seeing MJ's son playing college bball next year. I am curious to see how good he actually is.
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois He's probably not NBA material, I'm just guessing. Interesting though
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois <span style="font-family:Arial">Jeffrey Jordan is good, but not good enough to log decent minutes at the college level. I have only seen him place twice, but his lack of scholarship offers pretty much tell you the story. I would like to see him do well, although I don't see it happening.</span>
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois If he is a walk on, I doubt he will get minutes. Who knows though, he might turn it around.
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois Idk how this will work out. He wasnt as highly recruited as I thought he would be. Never seen his stats or seen him play, so I cant say much about that. He went to a small high school though. I read it only has about 400 kids per grade. Plus hes a walk on. That doesn't promise anything. Also hes not even in U of I yet. He has to complete summer classes before he even gets accepted to the university.I remember reading an article about him in the paper a while back. He contacted Oklahoma State. They blew him off
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois Last year on Sportscenter they did a story on him. He actually is quite good. he's one of those hard-working kids that earns every minute he plays. I guarantee he'll be a starter within the next two years.

You could search for that on youtube also.
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois that did not do him any justice. I guess we'll have to wait and see for ourselves when he goes to illinois. :dribble:
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois Anything at Illinois is possible... and if hes an up-tempo kinda guy, it should be fun to watch him.
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois He'll never succeed IMO because everybody will always expect him to be as good as his dadBut...I'm sure he will have a quality stay at Illinois..I'll probably check their games once in a while

He really isn't a standout like his father was and I think he could rapidly improve before the media and scouts see. He's a hard working kid that wants to be in the NBA. :dribble:
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois It's a shame that Jeffrey Jordan isn't NBA material....I would love to see MJ's son playing in the NBA
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois I saw him play on TV once. He's got a decent midrange jumpshot, but he definitely isn't that good. I doubt he'll get much playing time.
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois Few interviews with him, one of ESPN other of CBSESPN : http://youtube.com/watch?v=YIaHWdBgYak&...ted&search=CBS : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xXmCjU_MlY&NR=1
Re: Jordan's son will walk on to play hoops at Illinois It said he got offers from Marquette, Oklahoma St, and Miami also.
