Drake Harris's father says MSU is on Track to land Jabari Parker

  • Nippy said...

    Of these kids, who do we have the best shot at getting? (obviously excluding Harris) If you had to list them in order of our chances with them, what does your list look like?

    It's gotta be Cliff>Jones>Okafor>Lyle

  • BH Spartan said...

    I'd say:

    Alexander Parker Jackson Okafor Lyle Jones

    Cliff loves MSU, but i would say we have a better shot at Jabari since he's announcing in a few months and he's pretty much down to two schools. Cliff has a whole year where schools like Kentucky and duke can make progress in his recruiting.

    Okafor
    Jones
    Lyle
    Young

    I'm not exactly a bball recruiting guru though.

    I've seen Tyus Jones play, if they pick him up, watch out.

    In case you wanted to watch him play again...

    @TyusJones06: Watch r first game tomorrow at 7:30 am online at fiba.tv

    He and the U17 team play Australia, I believe. Includes Okafor and Parker, but I think Parker has been out with an ankle injury. Jones led them in assists in their last game.

    Getting Jones, Alexander and Okafor in 2014 would be almost as exciting as Jabari. I think landing Jabari would help with the Chicago guys even though he prob wouldn't get to play with them.

    A guy on another board who is not an MSU fans claims to have talked to Cliff at the Pangos AA camp and he though Jabari, Okafor and himself would end up at MSU. Take it for what it's worth, pretty much nothing.

    This Parker recruitment is one of the most hotly contested recruitments in awhile. You have Coach K, his most recent championship and 2 ex players on the Bulls right in Parker's back yard. You have Cheatapari, his recent championship and Rose who played for Cheat in Parker's back yard saying Cheat can be trusted, along with Davis who Parker just played ball with. Then we have Tom Izzo and his 6 final fours, family atmosphere, Draymond Green and Drake Harris trying to convince Parker MSU is the fit for him. This is going to be a wild ride all the way to November. Especially since Duke fans have already inked Parker in their starting lineup.

    When you stack it up like that, the odds don't appear to be in our favor.

    The NBA angle isn't going to matter in this case. Parker would have been top 5 in this year's draft. He's top 5 in the 14 draft if he goes to Siena. The NBA thing matters in some cases. Probably not this one. Parker is a surefire top 5 pick no matter what school he picks. Probably top 2.

    Anyone. Anyplace. Anytime.

    hell, the kid probably could take a year off and play pick up 365 days and be a top 5 pick

    Tim Staudt ‏@timstaudt10

    Bet on it-- MSU or Duke for Jabari Parker. The mother runs the show, likes Izzo. Kentucky may be out. He may be the best prep since Magic.

    Leave it to Staudt to forget about LeBron.

    Jackson is probably last on that list - maybe above Lyle, but we've cooled.

  • I know our chances for Jackson seem lesser than six months ago, but he has blown up this summer. He has moved up to a 5 star with at least one recruiting service and others may follow.

    The debate has always been do we have enough at pg now to pass on Jackson in 13, hoping to land Jones in 14. Jackson's rise makes that debate even more interesting, but we might have missed our chance with him when we didn't lock him up earlier.

  • Bump. Expected to commit late November, but probably after the early signing period is over.

    His last visit is November 20th to Stanford. Early signing period ends November 21st.

    Jabari Parker update: Top-ranked hoops recruit still planning to commit this fall, but might not sign until spring | Couch on fire

    After the past few years, you just have to imagine that he has his hook in anyone that he wants

    It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van.

    Heard some ugly rumblings that a certain #B1G school is backing off Cliff Alexander because "some bad people have gotten to him." Ewwwwww

    We are not the school that cooled on him but you can guess what school these bad people that have gotten to him are from...
