Michael Jordan’s youngest son Marcus has verbally committed to play college basketball for Central Florida next season.

“Marcus was looking for a place he could play, have an impact and feel comfortable on campus,” his high school coach Tyrone Slaughter said. “The family felt there was no need to continue the recruiting process.”

Marcus led Whitney Young High School of Chicago the the state 4A title this past month and led the team in scoring for the semifinal and the state championship game.

The 6-foot-3 guard chose UCF over Toledo, Iowa and Davidson.

“UCF really showed him that they wanted him for more than just his name and he was ready to make a decision as soon as he felt comfortable,” Jordan’s AAU coach Brian Davis said. “UCF made him feel comfortable. They wanted Marcus to come in to contribute right away and made him feel like he could make a big impact. They wanted Marcus for Marcus.”

I feel bad for Marcus. There’s absolutly no way he’ll ever see the light of day from behind his dads shadow.
