Jeff Jordan, Michael’s Son, Might Return to Play for Illini

Jeff Jordan, the oldest son of basketball legend Michael Jordan (ever heard of him?), has hinted that he might return to play for the Illinois Illini basketball team.  Jeff walked onto the team two years ago, playing without a scholarship at first, but then winning one this past season. He was expected to move up the ranks at Illinois and perhaps even earn a starting role as one of the team’s guards. However, he suddenly resigned from the team after last season in order to focus on his studies.

However, it seems as though Jeff might return to the court. From his Twitter account he hinted that he’s like to play ball with his former teammates. The rumors around Champaign, Illinois are swirling and twittering.  We’re sure that coach Bruce Weber would love to have all the help he can get from Jeff Jordan, as Illinois will face a tough schedule this season. Let’s hope this story works out for all involved.
