Jabari Parker yet to narrow list
June 4, 2012 1:14 PM
Sonny said in-state schools DePaul and Illinois remained among those his son was interested in. Sonny said he and new Illinois coach John Groce have had a couple of conversations.
"It's hard to say (whether Illinois has a chance,)" Sonny said. "He likes Illinois because he's from here. He's mentioned Illinois. Yeah, he had relationships with (former Illinois) coach (Bruce) Weber, Jerrance (Howard) and those guys. It's his home state.
"(Groce) seems to be a good person. We talked about a lot of different things -- how Jabari fits in, what type of style, just trying to develop a relationship with him now."
