IS J.JACK GOING PRO????????
Doesn't appear so based on the comments in this story, but then we heard the same thing last year with Chris Bosh. However, this time, I believe Jack will stay. However, it is scary if it is true that he might be projected as a late 1st round draft pick. We need that young man back for at least one more season. A junior stud at PG could really carry us a long way (just as a soph stud PG has done it this year).
