Is his basketball team that highly thought of ?

They are strong in GMC but it is an open question whether that translates to potential State Championship calibre.
(They did get past #19 ranked Princeton recently - but are themselves not ranked at MaxPreps in the top 25).
Could be as simple as Hicks wanting to take part in that team sport - focus on the season, then sign.

Weekend was hard to predict
by Edward Aschoff
January 25th, 2010 05:13pm

...
West Chester, Ohio, Lakota West linebacker Jordan Hicks is the hardest guy to read. Oh, that?s because he doesn?t talk about recruiting with the media. There are plenty of rumors about him being silently committed to Florida. Some even think that Ohio State has the advantage. And I don?t know why people are already counting out Texas. Regardless, Texas, Florida and Ohio State have a chance to land him, and one school will be very happy ? and exhausted ? come Signing Day.

Ohio: College football recruiting heats up in Southwest Ohio
Wyoming senior DL Jibreel Black orally commits to Michigan over the weekend.
Monday, January 25, 2010
By: Mike Dyer

...
Meanwhile, West Chester Lakota West senior linebacker Jordan Hicks, who is rated among the nation?s top players, continues to evaluate his options. He is considering Ohio State, Texas and Florida as his final choices.

Hicks, who was the Division I state defensive co-player of the year this past season, is expected to make a college decision by Feb. 3.

Lakota West coach Larry Cox said Hicks is handling the spotlight well. Cox said he isn?t sure when Hicks will commit but said the standout has been doing well in staying focused during the process.

"He?s not your typical high-profile athlete who thinks he is God?s gift to football," Cox told the Columbus Dispatch. "He?s the kind of kid who is going to make your program better just by being on your team. He?s humble, he?s hard-working and he?s smart."

So as it comes down to the last week I was wondering what most peoples thoughts are around here.

My thoughts are that Texas, historically, does not land big out of state recruits. However, Texas (historically) has not had Will Muschamp on their side either.

I am 50/50 on this between tOSU and UT

thoughts?

I think most on here expect Jordan to end up in Austin. Hope we're wrong, because he's obviously an incredible talent and all reports are he's a great person, too.

Until the last few weeks, most had conceded him to the Longhorns. He's not really an OOS recruit for you, in many ways we're the OOS school who happened to be his home for the last 4 years. Location is in our corner, but the home-school angle is firmly in yours.

Our insiders here have him 3 to 1 in favor of UT. I'd say that's about the general feel among connected folk on other sites.

Good to have you back, HL. Don't be a stranger.

well, i hope that you're right...it would be a huge pick up for this Texas class that it already loaded with defensive players. Between Hicks and Jackson Jeffcoat, Texas has a chance to make a huge splash on signing day.

btw, i'm really looking forward to seeing what TP brings to the table this year for the bucks. Should be very fun to watch.

All-Ohio football standout Hicks busy on hardcourt
By RUSTY MILLER, The Associated Press
Updated: Tuesday, January 26, 2010

His name is on a lot of people's tongues these days, and not because of his basketball prowess.

But Lakota West standout linebacker Jordan Hicks is also a standout on the court. A senior, Hicks scored 16 points to lead the Firebirds to a 46-45 upset last week of Cincinnati Princeton, which was the big-school state runner-up in March. Hicks also had five rebounds.

Hicks has narrowed his football choices to Florida, Ohio State and Texas, and says he has no clear-cut favorite at the moment.
