Jeff Jordan appreciation thread

We've had apology threads for Tisdale and Chet, appreciation threads for Meacham, Weber, Keller, Davis and the seniors. Time to give some extra attention to Jeff Jordan. He's come out from his dad's footsteps and emerged as a solid contributor. Based on his genetics, he may have more potential than we have had a chance to see so far. He is the heir apparent to Chet's Matto hustle and team-first approach.

Props to Jeff Jordan for being a defensive stopper, a spark off the bench, and for bringing a little more national attention to Champaign. Oh, and for tying the score 58-58 with that fast break layup.

Look for big things from JJ in the Big Ten Tournament.
