      *Michael Jordan's son Jeffrey has announced that he will not return to the University of Illinois basketball team next year because his heart is just not into the sport.      

       "I loved playing for the Fighting Illini and appreciate the support I was given by my teammates, coaches and the great fans here," said Jordan. "But I have come to the point where I'm ready to focus on life after basketball. I will concentrate on earning my degree from the University of Illinois and the opportunities that await upon graduating."      

       Jeffrey Jordan was a walk-on before earning a scholarship spot and slightly more minutes from Illinois coach Bruce Weber in his sophomore season, reports Yahoo Sports.      

       Michael's youngest son Marcus Jordan is now his lone offspring playing on the collegiate level. The athlete, who led his high school to a state title last month, in April announced his verbal commitment to play at Central Florida next season.
