Jordan Anthony Poole (born June 19, 1999) is an American basketball player for the Michigan Wolverines who has completed his freshman season for the 2017–18 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team. He attended Rufus King High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin through his junior year. Then, he transferred to play his senior season for La Lumiere School in La Porte, Indiana. He was 2016 first team All-Wisconsin selection as a junior and a member of the 2017 Dick's National High School Championship winner as a senior. At Michigan he was a member of the 2018 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament championship 2017–18 team. He is best known for a game-winning buzzer beater three-point shot that he made as a true freshman to help the 2017–18 Wolverines advance to the Sweet Sixteen round of the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament as part of their road to the 2018 NCAA Championship Game.
As a freshman at Rufus King High School in Wisconsin, Poole once made a game-tying three-point shot from off the bench. Poole visited Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Drake and Marquette as a blue chip high school basketball recruit. Then, he visited Michigan for the September 26 football game between the 2015 Wolverines and BYU, receiving an offer that weekend. He returned to campus on October 17 for the rivalry game against Michigan State. On October 23, 2015, four-star recruit Poole became the first commitment for the Class of 2017 after a home gym visit from head coach John Beilein and assistant coach LaVall Jordan and multiple Michigan campus visits. Poole had several competing offers including Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Memphis, Marquette, Virginia Tech and Auburn. At the time of his commitment, he was the 92nd-ranked overall prospect and the 21st-ranked shooting guard in the national class of 2017. As a junior, Poole was a 2016 WBCA All-State Boys Basketball first team selection.
