I think Illinois took him based on name in the first place as he wasn't a big recruit. He wasn't that good of a basketball player. His younger brother is better.

Jeffery would probably be better off at a lower tier D-1 school as best.

Sounds like he earn the scholarship, but just lost the drive for bball. Hapens to alot of kids at that level.

gotta suck being the first born of MJ though, no matter if he was lebron james or below average.

As an alum I liked his game there and have mixed feelings regarding him focusing on school.

Sad to lose a defense first player but glad he added some strong sense to the world of college athletics.

Can you name the last time a kid of his profile said "school first"?

He was an average college player. At this point I think he realizes that his future is not in basketball. Not that it matters what he does, he is set for life regardless.
