Roy Schmidt over at Illinois Prep Bulls-eye is a reputable source and he had this tweet yesterday: "Learned two things yesterday regarding Jabari Parker's recruitment: 1) expect an October decision 2) he may not take all 5 official visits."
If Roy is correct on this, that's major news. The earlier talk from Jabari's family has been that they would maximize the recruiting experience with five officials plus in-homes. Hard to say what this means for Duke, MSU, and the rest but I still like Tom Izzo's chances.
Evan Daniels and the Scout.com team have been on the ball recently. It's still extremely early, but here's the updated list of 2013 prospects.
Per Scout, Kentucky targets are: Jabari Parker (#1 overall), Julius Randle (#2), Nerlens Noel (#3 - offered), Chris Walker (#4), Kuran Iverson (#8), Jonathan Williams (#9), Solomon Poole (#24), Isaiah Lewis (#39), Tyler Ennis (#50).
