At the end of last season, Weber compared the 6-1, 185-pound guard favorably to former team captain Chester Frazier, who played through his four seasons at Illinois with near-constant injuries and was considered one of the Big Ten’s best defenders. He helped lead Illinois to a 24-10 record and NCAA tournament berth last season.

Illinois spokesman Kent Brown said Jordan wasn’t on campus or available for further comment. Jordan, he said, never indicated any unhappiness at Illinois.

Michael Jordan’s youngest son, Marcus, has committed to playing at Central Florida next season.
