I saw this on a Duke board and think this makes a good off season discussion. Let's say where we think some of UF's remaining go. [Oddly on the Duke board two or three people predict a SG named Wainwright that I did not know UF was involved with would pick UF. I am not sure if he has that choice.]
Anyway, let me start:
Parker: BYU, He does not strike me as Mich State type. He does not strike me as a UK type. I can not see him at DePaul. So I see him going the top Mormon school that also has a nice basketball program.
Randle: UF, I just think he would be crazy to take unknown v. a coach he has successfully played for.
K. Frazier: UTx
Hamilton: UCLA
Jefferson: 'Zona
Seldon: 'Cuse
Iverson: UConn, with Calhoun leaving the new guy needs a big commitment and it is his local school.
Embiid: UCLA, his Cameroon mentor Luc Mbah a Moute wins out.
Mine are just guess, I will be interested to read what others think particularly those who are plugged AAU ball.

I'll blindly guess as well.
Parker: Duke
Randle: UK
Frazier: Texas A&M
Hamilton: UCLA
Jefferson: Arizona
Selden: Syracuse
Iverson: Memphis
Embiid: UF

Parker: Illini
Randle: UK
K. Frazier: UF
Hamilton: UCLA
Jefferson: Zona
Seldon: Cuse
Iverson: UF
Embiid: Louisville
These are all just guesses not too much thought into it. Parker's dad doesn't drive or something like that so I figured he would stay home, and I think at one point they were the favorites.
Randle I think he will follow the twins if they end up there or Wiggins if he reclassifies
Frazier just based off of his recent comments before the UA Elite 24 game
Hamilton I think he will continue the recent trend but with Freemen going there it might change his perspective.
Jefferson I have no clue just a guess
Seldon I would love to get him but I think he stays up north, even though him and hill would be one of the top backcourts in the country as freshmen
Iverson I don't know just a guess again I think Kevin Ollie probably makes a huge push for him to stay
Embid I don't think is a top priority for us right now, but we will see how things change when some of the other dominos start to fall.
My preference would be to get Randle or Parker and land Seldon.

Illinois wasn't in Parker's Final 10 schools. New coach has a TON of ground to make up. I'm pretty sure they're not getting an in-home visit, either.
The Parkers live 15 miles from DePaul's campus. His two best friends have already committed to DePaul. By Parker's own admission, he has the best relationship with DePaul's staff, and they're recruiting him the hardest. If DePaul were anything but a perennial doormat, I think Jabari would have pulled the trigger already.
That said, I think Michigan State are the favorites. But if Parker waits until the Spring to sign, and DePaul shows progress on the court...

I was just taking a guess, from someting I read before and this article http://espn.go.com/chicago/ncb/story/_/id/7652207/simeon-jabari-parker-keeping-eye-illinois-coaching-situation I know there not in his top ten right now, but were. I'd like to read up on the Depaul info do you have a link?

Interesting discussion.
I really think that a Gator bias influences a lot of these speculations.
However, from what I've read, if the Twins go to KY, that will likely eliminate them, because, apparently, Randle doesn't like the Twins.

I've heard this as well about Randle but I have also heard the the supposed dislike between the Harrisons and Randle has been greatly exaggerated. It will be fun to see. I'm just amazed that we are in the mix for so many top guys, whether we get any of them or not. I love what Billy has been doing with his recruiting the past 2 years or so.

I tried lol without the bias, but if i could pick just two I would take Randle and Seldon.

Maybe, but it's a fact that Randle likes Chris Walker and Kasey Hill, and has talked with Chris about playing together in college.

I have no read on Randle. The only thing I know is this: based on the last years worth of posts on NBN, a few of you must be trilled about having 3 potential one-and-dones in a recruiting class - while the rest of you must be dry heaving. What? Parker too? BILLY HAS SOLD HIS SOUL!!!!
