Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - Jeffery Jordan going to Illinois

No disrespect of course. Seriously though, he could choose a place like Pepperdine and literally take courses in surfing. He could go to Hawaii and live in paradise. He could go abroad and have a great anonymous existence (and probably could play professionally in a few years). He could even go to one of those old southern schools and nail more belles than his dad could dream of. The college counselors at Loyola Academy ought to be fired.

On the same note, if I could live anywhere without concern for money or employment, Chicago would not be my full time address.

He'll be a poon magnet based solely on his last name.

What does a Polack have that's long and hard?

His last name.

I think you are putting too much stock in these trivial concerns. Kids go to college to learn. I'm not sure of his aspirations but I think you are forgetting that UofI is at the top of the charts in both their Engineering and Accounting departments.

I'm sure little Jeff is interested in attaining his CPA and settling in a nice mid-size firm in the hope of becoming partner someday.

He'll be a poon magnet based solely on his last name.

I know I was.

Channel 5 said he already applied and was accepted. He's gonna try to be a walk on basketball player. I'm sure he'll make the team. He's not that good but they'll let he be on the team. Marcus is the real talent of the Jordan boys. Hey Mr. Reason. Tell the women in Champain to get ready. MJ will be down there if his son is there.

He probably chose Illinois because he could pay instate tuition.

If Jeffery warms the bench and M Jeff finds some worthy players for his sausagefests, then maybe that will pave the way for Marcus.

Good point Mr. Reason. Although I think because Marcus is good and will be heavily recruited he'll end up wanting to please his Dad and go to North Carolina. They'll want him obviously. No major college wanted Jeffery.

He will add nothing to the program except an interesting story for TV during blowouts. If I was set for life and could walk on at any program, I'd find a decent school with a good social life in a warm climate. I would not spend my 4 years in a cold cornfield watching suburban chicagoans starting fights at bars over whose frat is better. Somebody needs to talk to the kid quickly before he makes a very bad decision. You do not have to worry about paying for school or expenses. You do not have to worry about employment once you finish. You could go to 99% of the schools in the world and you choose Illinois? Wise up young man.

I think Jeffrey Jordan has officially joined the Ron Zook bandwagon. The newest rumor is that he will be purchasing the 60 dollar season ticket package.

Maybe he likes the putrid smell of the soybean processing plant when the aroma gently floats throughout campus? The only reasonable explanation is that although he could go anywhere, he is just a huge home body and doesn't want to be too far away from his mom or dad. Only thing I could think of.

The addition of Lil' Jeff to the Illini will do wonders in helping Illinois recruiting.

I agree with you Hawk. It was reported on several occasions that he was strongly considering Loyola U. LU offered the scholarship to him and a couple other players. The Sun Times reported about a month ago that a player it (sun times) considered the better player. All the local interest by him does indicate he wanted to stay close to home. That's not unusual and LA sends 50 kids a year to UI. Still, I imagine he will be sitting there at the beginning of the second semester next year and asking dad if Lute Olsen could use a good assistant.

Jeff Jordan just wants to experience what its like to sit in a 11AM Chemistry 101 discussion class in the Noyes Lab when it's 95 outside and there is no air conditioning.

You guys are all missing an obvious possibility. Maybe he has a girlfriend going to Illinois. If he's in love that trumps all the reasons against going to Illinois.

I'm just living vicariously as he is truely in an enviable position. You are thinking like a member of the middle class Doc. The kid is sitting on a near billion dollar empire. Second generation billionaires get degrees in social work and then start foundations when they get out of school. After a few years of creating a good story they enter politics.

Is Illinois an accredited school? I'm assuming it is since it's in the Big Ten.
