Jabari Parker, the 6'5 class of 2013 guard from Simeon High School in Chicago, has received a scholarship offer courtesy of Oregon State University. The offer is Parker's second from a school in the Pac 10 conference, with the other coming from the University Of Washington. Jabari's offer from Oregon State was confirmed to us by his father and Chicago basketball legend Sonny Parker. In addition to the Beavers and the Huskies, Parker also holds previous scholarship offers from Illinois, DePaul, Northwestern, Baylor, Kansas and Brigham Young.
Getting back to Oregon State, there is no question that the Beavers coaching staff continues to recruit the Chicago area extremely hard, as both head coach Craig Robinson and assistant coach Nate Pomeday have strong connections throughout the Windy City region. At the present time, Oregon State remains among the frontrunners for 6'5 class of 2011 shooting guard Sam Thompson from Whitney Young High School in Chicago and of course already has a signed letter of intent from one of Thompson's teammates--5'8 class of 2010 point guard Ahmad Starks.
Parker, Thompson and Starks will all be among the plethora of D1 prospects on display this coming Saturday when Whitney Young and Simeon face one another at Whitney Young in what figures to be one of the best high school basketball showdowns of the season in Illinois.
Continue to check in with Illinois Prep Bulls-eye for all of the latest as it pertains to recruiting and high school basketball in Illinois.
