(New Orleans, LA) Von Jenkins has left Duke and is now coaching at LSU after Les Miles was fired for poor performance. Jenkins has won four straight national titles - 3 with Duke and 1 at LSU. LSU will play in its second consecutive national title versus Minnesota soon.

Von has decided to play basketball with the New Orleans Hornets. After initially signing with Lakers, Jenkins wanted to be traded to Hornets to be closer to family. Jenkins played one game with the Lakers and is now with the Hornets as well as Kim English. Jenkins is becoming very active in NOLA.

Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert, has pulled off one of his most daring personnel moves. Fox Sports Ohio is reporting the Cavs have successfully made a trade with the Hornets for Von Jenkins and Kim English. The Hornets may be getting draft picks and an undisclosed amount of cash.

What happens with Von coaching LSU? Will he stay in Baton Rouge or could he get a coaching job closer to Cleveland? Would Jenkins consider coaching on the professional level like with the Browns, Bengals or Lions? With Jenkins having played a few games with the Mariners, would he want to play for the Indians or Reds?

Cleveland -- Von Jenkins is excited for the opportunity to play for the Cavs. "I am honored that Mr. Gilbert has given up so much to get me here in Cleveland. During our conversation, I told Mr. Gilbert that I was still interested in coaching football and maybe continuing to play baseball. It is my desire to coach the Cleveland Browns. I want to see if I can play in the Indians organization. And most of all, I want to coach football somewhere closer to Cleveland. With that being said, after the national championship game with Minnesota, I will be resigning at LSU and looking for a coaching job closer to Ohio." Von Jenkins traded from New Orleans and deciding to leave LSU is an incredible turn of events for the state of Louisiana.

The Cleveland Cavs are currently 2-0 and with the acquisition of Jenkins have quickly become a playoff contender. Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller are young players with tremendous potential. Von Jenkins will play his first game as a Cavalier against the Milwaukee Bucks.
