Just read where multiple recruits have mentioned this after recent visits. If this happens it will be a huge plus for us on the trail and we need it! #ChompChomp

I think it's called the Jump Man line and it's part of Nike. The attire the players wore for the bowl game was branded Jump Man, minus the jerseys. Same clothes, same brand, different logo. No biggie.

Jeter wore Jumpman cleats during his playing days. It transcends basketball and is highly regarded by athletes of all sports.

I don't mind this at all, especially if it helps recruiting even in the slightest.

I know some might say (and they'd probably be right) that the younger kids will approve of this and that it will help recruiting.

1. It's a pitty that changing the logo (even though it's the same freakin' company's stuff) would affect a decision like this.
2. It has been said, but still... it's dumb to have a basketball player on other types of uniforms.
3. Why do we desire to worship idols like this? If I have big-time potential, I wouldn't want to exalt him, I'd want to replicate or surpass his accomplishments. Why would I want to contribute to his legend and coffers? At least let me build my own.
4. While he's not the worst, there are so many more deserving idols. I lament that he was the first king of celebrity endorsement / branding and seems to not be losing any steam.

Can't disagree with anything said. Unfortunately, the kid's brains don't work like this...
