Re: Marcus Jordan Commits to UCF
Him, Clanton, and now Garcia are massive pickups for our program.

Re: Marcus Jordan Commits to UCF
How was he rated as a recruit? I thought he would have gone to a Big Ten school and possibly seen some minutes.

Nobody cares about UCF outside of Florida. It's the curse of being a directional school. Yes, I'm from one too, but at least my team plays in a real conference.
Clanton will be the only one of them that pans out, book it.
"If I help get South Florida into the tournament, then 20 years from now when South Florida is ranked No. 1 in the country, people will look at the history and say, 'Dominique Jones started that program.'"

Re: Marcus Jordan Commits to UCF
Jordan is a 3 star prospect but many around the Chicago area think he is better than that. He has been killing it on the all star circuit.

Re: Marcus Jordan Commits to UCF
Nice pickup. Marcus got some game. Marcus won a state championship which I guess Michael never did. Not saying he will be better than Michael, because he won't, just an interesting fact. There is always a ton of pressure on a son of a great professional athlete, and that is why I think he chose UCF. He has potential to be the star their when on most teams, he would probably be anywhere from second to fourth best even on the team. Not really expecting a great freshmen year from him, though, but after that, I can see him succeed.

Re: Marcus Jordan Commits to UCF
I could have sworn that he was a higher rated recruit before this season.

Re: Marcus Jordan Commits to UCF
UCF has a monster class imo. Claton, Garcia, Jordan and potentiall Vee Sanford are all capable of contributing in their first years. Jeffrey Jordan should have gone to a smaller school like his brother to get more playing time and spotlight. People forget he's at Illinois...

Re: Marcus Jordan Commits to UCF
I played on his fall league team in 8th grade, and still love to brag about it lol He definitely has potential, he was thowing down wind-mills and dropping 40 back then, and he's a nice kid. I think he'll have a good, long career for UCF (he also had lil wayne at his grad party last weekend damn wish i was invited)

Is it wrong for me to think that if I do go to grad school at UCF I have the potential to become his friends thus the potential to meet Jordan

Re: Marcus Jordan Commits to UCF
I watched Jordan's best game this year. He does not receive the rock much because he is a freshman, but he is fairly strong with the ball at an early age. if he wants any shot at the NBA, he is going to need to mold himself into a point guard. I don't see that happening though. He will get a better shot when some of his teammates graduate and he improves.
