Vaux basketball star Jordan to tweet his college choice Thursday morning

A little birdie won't be telling us, but a world-class tweeter will.

Rysheed Jordan, a first-magnitude basketball star at Roberts Vaux High, is expected to announce his college decision early Thursday morning via Twitter.

Jordan, the Daily News City Player of the Year, darn near lives on Twitter (@sheedjordan), peppering the site with interesting and/or funny comments.

The 6-4 guard, who owns a national profile, is down to Temple, St. John's and UCLA, and recently there have been indications he's headed for the school in NYC.

A source in New York told the Daily News via email, "We're hearing a lot of rumors, saying he'll go to St. John's . . . and no counter rumors saying otherwise. I don't know the quality of the rumors but I'll say that people close to the program feel confident about snagging Jordan."

Vaux coach Jamie Ross said Wednesday, "I still don't know for sure."

Jordan will make no non-Twitter comments Thursday, Ross said, and will not make himself available to the media until next Wednesday during a session at Vaux.

At about 2 p.m. Wednesday, Jordan tweeted he would stay off Twitter until Thursday. That period of non-activity lasted until about 8:30. Among his subsequent tweets: "MY COLLEGE MENTIONS [on Twitter] ARE CRAZY."

Soon thereafter, @TEMPLEALLSPORTS tweeted, "Gods crying in Philly. @sheedjordan is rumored to be moving on."
