Your new No. 1 player in the 2013 class, per scout.

Rivals has him with a high interest in Washington and everyone else with medium.

Izzo will almost need to be seen by Parker every game he plays from here on out. Before its all over Parker will be considering offers from the 10-15 of the top programs in the country.

I would love for this kid to be one of the early LOI commits in fall 2012 but it will be a wild ride.

From ConT over at TheOnlyColors:
Per @BSnowScout Jabari Parker's top 5 are Duke, Ill., Kansas, Michigan State, and Washington. Parker is ranked #1 in Scout's 2013 class.

This has been common knowledge, but nice to see him coming out and officially listing MSU in his top 5; Washington is the believed favorite lately. Also, enjoy this dunk.

That lineup is too good to ever be true

But if it was...

Or Costello.

We have some seriously legit talent arriving soon. Harris and/or Parker would just be some tasty blue chips on top of the icing on top of the cake

Absolutely no doubt that we have some talented players on the way with the possibility of adding top ten recruit to complement what is already on the roster. I am feeling very good about our chances to contend for titles next year and beyond. Awesome.

I would switch Dawson to SF, Costello at PF, and Jabari first off the bench. Then again, if Dawson is still here for his junior year, consider me ecstatic.

Jabari will start at whichever school he chooses, including MSU.

Dawson is a freak of an athlete that is ranked as one of the best rebounders in the whole class, averaged close to 18 a game the past two years of HS. He will be getting double digit boards often at MSU. And if he manages that he can contend to play the 4, even a large 2 if Izzo pleases. Nasty

Parker would no doubt play a starters minutes (25+ per game). However, if Jabari was to start, he would start @ the PF on offense (guard the lesser physical player of the SF/PF on defense). Dawson might guard the 4 spot a bit at MSU, but I highly doubt he plays the 4 on offense unless it's out of necessity. If Parker were to come here, I don't see him starting over a 3 year starter in Dawson, and with Costello already having a year in the system, he will be more finely tuned to the Izzo's defense over Parker. Same reasoning behind Harris (again, if we land him) starting over Parker. That's my reasoning behind the starters I threw out there. Say we don't get Harris but land Parker, I see no reason why Parker and Dawson both couldn't be in the starting line-up.

It's fun to be able to even speculate about such highly touted prospects though

How many times have you seen a top tier high school ball player from Apple Valley MN? Wow!
