Central Florida's basketball program recently landed two Chicago-area players for next year's recruiting class -- one of whom has very ample basketball bloodlines. Marcus Jordan -- yes, that Jordan's son -- and Nik Garcia both orally committed to play for the Knights on Monday. Jordan, the second son of Michael Jordan, helped his team win a State championship in March, and he grew up playing club basketball with Garcia. Jordan will join former teammate, A.J. Rompza, who made Conference USA's all-freshman team this past season, so they'll enter with some familiarity.
"I think we can be real good," Garcia said. "They have other good recruits coming and they have AJ already. It's a program that is a sleeping giant, really. A lot of people don't know about them, but soon a lot of people will."Well, we'll see about that, but with the departure of John Calipari from Memphis, Conference USA just got a lot more winnable.
