Tony Parker Says UK Has "a Good Shot" at Landing Him

[CENTER][/CENTER]
In his first diary entry with ESPN, 2012 big man Tony Parker chronicles his recruitment process and takes some time to discuss a few of the schools he is considering.

Parker had a number of complimentary things to say about Kentucky:
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]”Kentucky is a great basketball state and they are crazy about the Wildcats in Lexington. I’m also very close with UK commit Alex Poythress,[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana] who was my AAU teammate this past summer on great Georgia Stars. He also tries to recruit me to Kentucky of course and I have played with him a lot, so our chemistry is unbelievable which gives them a good shot.”

UCLA still seems to be the more likely destination for Parker, but it’s obvious that Calipari and Co. have made up some major ground in his recruitment in a very short period of time.
