You are very wrong about this. A thread much like this one was on a Duke board a few days after Parker went there. Parker and his family are playing this very close to the vest.

Here is the thread:

After this some Chicago newspaper guy claimed that Duke was in the lead, but other doubted his source was very close to the situation.

[gatordd]

who are you.. chiming in

why do you post

FWIW, it was in the high thirties when he got back home. I know that it rarely comes down to the weather, but it is a distinct point of difference between UF and MSU, who I assume is the current leader.

[jshaas]

why do you post

because I pay just as much as you and can and will.. and you will be ok

[Brewski]

he didnt make it in

Why would you post this with no facts or basis for doing so?

Here's something for Jabari to consider...a huge advantage for Florida compared to Duke and Kentucky. The fans at those schools will smother you and not let you breathe...they will be into everything you do including when you use the bathroom. At Florida, you can enjoy normalcy and walk the campus, and have some personal freedom you would not have at those schools. Also, you have just as good of an opportunity of winning a title as well. I think that would fit in well with his personality.

Great post. Wins the Lemonade Award for turning our notorious lack of fan support into a positive! I love it:grin:

Actually, I found the post obviously kidding. Then again I like irony and sarcasm and think it is spoiled some with emoticons.

And where's the irony in that? :grin::wave:

Excellent except for those silly emoticons cluttering up an amusing observation.

[jshaas]

[REM08]

Wow, some actual info - even if its not much...

Jabari Parker, the nation's No. 2 senior out of Chicago's Simeon Career Academy, does not have a favorite in the recruiting process, and teams after him might not see him in the Dec. 1 opener due to a fracture in his right foot.

Parker has visited Michigan State, Duke and Florida the past three weekends and still plans to visit Stanford and BYU in November. His final visit will be to BYU the weekend of Nov. 24. His father, Sonny Parker, said his son will commit after the early signing period (Nov. 14-21) and then sign in the spring.

"They've all been good," Sonny Parker said of the visits. "(Florida) coach (Billy) Donovan has a good team. They got some good players. Florida, they're doing well in all sports, and the weather was nice (last weekend.) Michigan State is good. You got coach (Tom) Izzo. You got Coach K (Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.) They've all won national championships. He's selected some good schools.

"I talked to him the other day. He's got to choose what is going to be the right fit for him. That's where we're at. Once we get through the visits, he'll start deciding where everyone is, start doing the comparisons."

Aside from making visits, Parker has been busy with rehab on his right foot, which he fractured during the summer. According to Sonny Parker, his son will have another MRI taken on Nov. 19, and there is a possibility he won't be ready for Simeon's season opener on Dec. 1.

"We don't know a target date," Sonny Parker said. "He's still in a boot. He hasn't played in four months. He has got to get back and perform and get in shape. It doesn't give him much time from the 19th to the 1st. He's never been out this long. The worst thing to do with an injury is come back too soon and now you reinjure it and it could be his season. We're in no rush. We'll probably know something on Nov. 19."

As a junior, Parker was named the ESPNChicago.com Player of the Year, Illinois' Mr. Basketball and the national Gatorade Player of the Year. He averaged 19.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.4 steals a game.

Parker was ESPN's No. 1-ranked player until Andrew Wiggins reclassified from the Class of 2014 to the Class of 2013 recently.
