Background
The 6'8 230 pound beast Jordan McCloud brings his talents literally across the country from Seattle to Glenville to help the Pioneers win a championship.As well as continuing his education in which he is in pursuit of degree in Business Management.
Pioneer fans should be really excited abot McCloud. In high school he dominated averaging 17 points and 12 rebounds doing so against fierce competition such as Georgetown Hoyas Josh Smith and Philadelphia 76ers Tony Wrotten. Jordan signed a NationalLetter of Intent to play for Division I Seattle University. McCloud was ordered to attend a JUCO prior to to put on some weight, but after his two years he had a change of heart and decided to come Glenville State. Coach Dye and his staff definetly feel they got a steal in McCloud.
He has a work ethic like no other he is constanly in the gym trying to get better. The future is bright for this kid. According to some of Jordan's teammates Jordan is a very spiritual person. He reads and studies the Word of God and prays over his teammates every day openly, which is quite impressive for a young man let alone a young man in college.
