Jabari Parker open to John Groce

"We've been pretty consistent in taking everyone's phone calls," Sonny Parker said. "In terms of recruitment, we're open, but it's getting late in the game. My son has to have a relationship with the coach. It's not something that happens overnight. It's like getting married. You don't say, 'Let's get married next week.'

"I know Jabari knows the school, knows the program, has known Coach Weber since fifth grade and known Coach Jerrance (Howard) and Coach (Wayne) McClain. But we don't know where and what direction the program is going."
