	Jared Jeffries scored eight points in the title game.

ATLANTA -- I hope Indiana's super soph, Jared Jeffries, gets this message: Jared, please, stay in school!

I know Hoosiers coach Mike Davis has said that he's expecting Jeffries to make the jump to the NBA. But he should return to Indiana. Trust me, Jeffries isn't ready for the pros.

Jeffries didn't score in double figures in either Final Four game. He scored just eight points in Indiana's championship-game loss to Maryland.

He had a tough time Monday against Maryland's interior size. Jeffries isn't physically strong enough yet -- he's just not ready for the NBA, baby!

I love Jeffries' brilliant inside-outside game; he helped lead the fifth-seeded Hoosiers on their super tournament run. But he needs more seasoning and increased strength before he's ready for the NBA.

If you love Hoosiers basketball, you want to see Jeffries return. I hope that Jeffries goes back to school, builds on his sensational college career and has a beautiful junior year in Bloomington.
