Jabari Parker Still Has No Order Of Preference For College Choices

Aug 19, 2012 6:53 PM

Jabari Parker has no clear favorite as he makes his college decision.

Parker is considering Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, Michigan State, Stanford, Florida, Georgetown, BYU and DePaul.

“Hopefully in September, that’s the target date,” Sonny Parker said on Saturday. “Then, he’s going to take his visits and his trips and hopefully make his decision in the fall. If he’s not really feeling it feeling it, then wait until the spring.

“He has no No. 1 or No. 2, he doesn’t really have a favorite. I told him, ‘You have to make a decision.’ He likes pretty much all those programs. I don’t know if anyone has an advantage or disadvantage. It’s just going to come down to him being comfortable in their system where he can grow and develop and get better. He likes all the programs in his top-10 choices.”

Jabari Parker Likely To Cut List To Five

Aug 12, 2012 1:32 PM

Jabari Parker will likely trim his list of schools to five before the end of September.

"I don't know where anybody is getting that from," Parker's father, Sonny said. "He hasn't cut his list. Right now he's resting and sometime next month he's probably going to cut it down to five."

The top recruit is tentatively targeting a fall decision.

"He's got to get it cut down to this five and then take his visits," Parker said. "But, I told him that if he can't make up his mind that it's OK for him to go ahead and wait until the spring."

Jabari Parker May Not Commit Until Spring

Aug 3, 2012 10:44 AM

Jabari Parker may not be ready to choose a school during the early signing period, which runs from Nov. 14-21.

"We aren't in a hurry," said Jabari’s father, Sonny Parker. "He can pretty much go anywhere he wants to go and can take his time. We're in a good position to take his time and get it right the first time. We'd like to get it over with, but there's no rush. Like I told him, if you aren't ready, do it in the spring. If they want you bad enough, they'll wait. He's the No. 1 player."

Parker recently released a list of 10 colleges he was considering to attend: BYU, DePaul, Duke, Florida, Georgetown, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina and Stanford.

Parker is still wearing a protective boot on his fractured right foot and is expected to return in six to eight weeks.
