Jordan is waiting for an offer from MSU as he’s the leader.  However, if the Spartans don’t come through, Jordan would be very happy with Miami.  Here’s what he has to say about the Miami coaches: “I just see those guys the most and I’ll be down there for the 7-on-7 passing camp so I’ll see them even again,” Gafford said. “They seem like great people and coach (Jay) Hood has really been great with me.”

Miami, Cincinnati, Indiana, and Marshall are recruiting the most.  No clear favorite and no hurry to decide.  Jordan is a top 50 player in Ohio

Jordan narrows his list to 4 (Miami, Maryland [recently on the scene but no offer yet], Cincinnati and Marshall).  He’s eliminated IU and LA Tech from the schools that have offered.  No favorite and will set up officials to the 3 schools that have offered.
