Prospect Profile: Hawks offer scholarship to MJ's Son

Could there be a light at the end of the tunnel? A bright spot that could help the Hawk fans move forward and forget about these transfers?

How about the possibility of Michael Jordan in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

According to numerous sources, including rivals.com and The Des Moines Register, the Iowa basketball program has offered a scholarship to Michael Jordan's son Marcus.

Marcus Jordan, 6'2" shooting guard from Illinois, recently led Whitney Young Dolphins to the 4A State Championship, scoring 19 points in both the semi-final and state title games. Rivals.com rates him as a three-star recruit. Since winning the Illinois state championship, many schools have began to show interest in "Heir Jordan." Other Division I schools pursuing Jordan include Arizona State, Butler, Oklahoma, Miami, and Illinois, among others.

Here is Scouts Inc.'s evaluation: Jordan plays with maximum effort and intensity, ranking as a very good-glue guy, giving his team a boost in a number of categories on the court. He has very good athleticism, leaping ability, and quickness which allow him to excel in the open court, attacking the rim in transition. His hops helps him to finish in traffic when he gets to the rim and he has good body control and strength , which allows him to take contact at the rim, adjust in the air and still finish. Jordan, a lefty, can finish at the rim with just as easily with his right as he does with his left. He has a low release point on his jumper and would become a more consistent shooter from the perimeter if he releases the ball higher, an Achilles heel from Jordan at this point. His strength allows him to defend bigger players in the paint as well as battle for rebounds in traffic. Jordan also does a good job of playing passing lanes for steals. He passes the ball very well and sometimes plays as a point guard due to his ability to find open teammates. Jordan battles on every possession and does not take plays off.

Who knows, it could be a long shot. But at this point, any chance is a good chance, no matter how small.
