Billy Donovan visits Jabari Parker

[InstiGATOR1]

Here is part of the story:

Florida coach Billy Donovan met with Chicago Simeon's Jabari Parker on Tuesday, and DePaul's Oliver Purnell was scheduled to meet Wednesday with the nation's top-ranked senior.

...

The 6-foot-8 Parker released a list of 10 schools he was considering in July. His list featured BYU, DePaul, Duke, Florida, Georgetown, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina and Stanford.

Florida did not make the original list, but Donovan continued to recruit Parker and was able to secure the in-home visit.

"I hope other people take notice of that," Simeon coach Robert Smith said Wednesday. "(Other schools) may have opportunities. You kill your opportunities if you don't try. Florida was there. I don't think (the Parker family) is going to waste anyone's time now. Anyone who gets in with the home visit, they have a real big chance of getting an opportunity to be looked at."

You didn't bother to link it so I didn't notice. It is worth a thread of its own anyway.

Another tidbit tweeted by Zagoria:

Its all good I was trying to consolidate all the info, but I'm still new here so I'll start linking info.

No problem, I am happy which ever way you chose for each bit of information. It is a matter of taste whether a bit of information should be added or have its own thread. I find your posts very informative.

Parker should most def have his own thread with Coach doing in-home visits.
