Marcus Jordan Selects Central Florida

Michael Jordan's son Marcus announced Monday that he had decided to commit to Central Florida.

The 6-foot-3 guard chose UCF over offers from Iowa, Miami (Fl.), Stanford and Butler, and interest from Toledo and Davidson.

From espn.com: "Marcus was looking for a place he could play, have an impact and feel comfortable on campus," said his high school coach, Tyrone Slaughter, according to the Chicago Tribune. "The family felt there was no need to continue the recruiting process."

UCF went 17-14 overall this past season with a 7-9 record in Conference USA play.

It's no surprise Jordan spurned Iowa's offer, but it's mildly surprising that he decided to play for the Knights. He had the opportunity to play in a major conference, but UCF gives him the chance to play with a former high school teammate.

It seemed Iowa had already moved on as Jordan showed little affection for the UI. The Hawks still have several other prospects in their sights.
