Son of former NBA Player Sonny Parker, Jabari, is one of the hottest subjects in today’s recruiting battles. In an interview with [URL=”http://eye-on-college-basketball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/26283066/30763837″]CBSSports.com[/URL], he named his top 5 recruiting picks, these are Kansas, Washington, Duke, Illinois, and Michigan State.
Now we’re all wondering why he’s not considering playing for Kentucky?
He said he picked Kansas solely because of their success, and also Washington because of the longtime relationship of his family and Huskies Coach Romar. He also liked the coaching styles of Duke, Illinois, and Michigan.
Parker’s top 5 picks hasn’t changed since spring, and he is taking his time. And he said he is not limiting his prospects. Can Kentucky be one of them?
“I want my teammates to get looked at,” Parker (unselfishly) said. “I’m going to take my time, not rush the process.”
Jabari Parker is an outstanding offensive player and has the luxury of going through the recruitment at his own pace- being the top-rated player in his class. Standing 6-8, this Simeon (III) junior is a future NBA Star. He compares himself to Oscar Robertson, and said that he has been told that he has an old school game.
