3. What a sad story the last wholesale coach pursesweek has been for Tennessee forward Emmanuel Negedu. Despite only averaging 1.7 points and 1.9 rebounds last year, the talented 6-foot-7 sophomore was supposed to be a key contributor for Bruce Pearl's team this season. But after collapsing at a Sept. 28 workout and suffering cardiac arrest, it appears that the Nigerian's basketball career is officially over after having surgery to implant a cardiac defibrillator in his chest. "This is a very bright wholesale cheap gucci hondbagsyoung man whose identity was basketball," Pearl told FOXSports.com senior college basketball writer Jeff Goodman. "Now he'll use his energy and talents in other areas." While Tennessee will miss Negedu's presence down low, Pearl will lean on the experience of seniors Tyler Smith, J.P. Prince, Bobby Maze and Wayne Chism to carry the Vols' offense. Junior center Brian Williams, Southern Illinois transfer Josh Bone and sophomore wing Renaldo Woolridge should also factor into the equation for Tennessee, which will be seeking its fifth straight NCAA tournament appearance this .
2. Jeff Jordan is no "Air Jordan," but he may bewholesale discount purses just as indecisive as his father was during his storied, three-part basketball career. Four months after leaving Illinois' basketball program, Michael Jordan's oldest son is returning to the Fighting Illini for his junior season. The 6-foot-1 guard from Highland Park, Ill., originally walked onto the team two years ago, but he played well enough as a freshman to earn himself a scholarship last season. Jordan, however, got little opportunity in 2008-09 to contribute for Bruce Weber's team, only seeing the floor for 8.4 minutes a game, before leaving the program to focus on his studies. "I loved playing for the Fighting Illini and appreciate the support I was given by my teammates, coaches and the great fans here," he said at the time. "But I have come to the point where I'm ready to focus on life after basketball." Then, last month, Jordan shared some new feelings with the world when he posted on his Twitter account wholesale ED hardy T-shirtthat he wanted to work out with his former teammates "like old times." Of course, it's certainly not the first time that we've heard about an athlete or a Jordan say they want back into the game. From "His Airness" to Brett Favre to Floyd Mayweather, Jr., athletes across all sports these days are making a habit of retiring and returning as they wrestle with the notion of knowing when to continue their careers and when to finally call it quits. And while this back-and-forth happens less frequently at the college level, Jordan is now furthering the trend by deciding to don Illini Orange and Blue once again.
