Jabari Parker appears to be a three team race between MSU, Duke, and UK, with MSU being out top.
Duke recently reached out to 4-star PF Damian Jones from Texas. He plays on the same AAU team (Texas Titans) as Julius Randle, Matt Jones(2013 Duke commit) and top 2015 prospect Mickey Mitchell.
I am VERY attached to college basketball and football, especially the recruiting, and everything I am hearing behind the scenes right indicates towards MSU being out ahead. Jabari Parker wants to stay close to home (MSU fits the bill there.) and has a great relationship with Tom Izzo. However, obviously nothing is set in stone in college recruiting until the prospect signs his name on the dotted line. But MSU is looking real good right now, and I would put Duke 2nd and UK third. However, do not, by any means count UK out.
Our 2014 class is looking pretty sick with him, Diop & Tate. Just need Okafor to top it off, which apparently is actually a possiblity, as long as he breaks free from his supposed package deal, cause Tyus Jones aint comin out here.
