jordons boys on espn 2

high school ball...my nieces school loyola acd..both bros on the team..

Got a ways to go. I gotta tell you at this point they dont look like big conference D-I material. Course the old man took a while to develop. Maybe the delay will get these guys to be players also. We got a few teams in this city that could easily stay with those teams. Ahhh. They are all like 2 year olds at this point anyway.

ONe kid on the other team looked real good.

How many times has it happened that scouts go to a game to a look at a specific player and they come out impressed with someone that was not on the radar. Obviously this kid is on the radar if he is already headed to Indiana.

But this is what I love about these youngsters playing basketball. They develop so rapidly and other stars just stall. You just never know who is going to end up making it.

One kid five years ago or so I taught in my Physics class... Trent Plaisted, was a very tall but an incredibly unathletic kid. A year later he is getting very quick and then by the time he is a senior he is super quick and has become an athlete, is recruited by BYU (his family is mormon) and he goes. I say to him college is a completely different game, you will have to keep improving and I look back and he makes Freshman of the year in the Conf.
Now, BYU just ends up beating ranked Air Force and the kid is a soph. and scores 25 points with some big rebounding. This is a kid that I used to joke about his very short (T-Rex) arms and he just continues to improve. Ya never know. I really never thought he would reach this level. Good for him.

Jeffrey Michael's oldest is not going to play college ball. Loyola is a super tough school academically and he is way up in class rankings. Marcus on the other hand is just a sophmore and all along has been thought of as the better of the two. We'll see but that Gordon kid going to Indiana showed he was by far the best player on the court.
