Tony Parker, one of Kentucky’s remaining targets in next year’s recruiting class, will announce his college decision at the McDonald’s All American game next month according to this report from Adam Zagoria. Parker’s father told Zagoria that his son would be choosing between Kansas, UCLA, Duke, Ohio State, Memphis and Georgia at the game March 28th. That would seem to mean that Kentucky is out of the mix for the Georgia big man, who visited Kansas over the weekend. He was at the Kansas-Missouri game along with fellow Kentucky target Shabazz Muhammad, and the possibility of both ending up at UCLA has been widely discussed. Parker is also close with UCLA commit Kyle Anderson and his father said that the Bruins are “definitely high on the list.” Kansas’ recent history of producing NBA big men also makes them an intriguing option for Parker, according to his dad.
Parker is Scout’s #20 overall player and #9 center in 2012, but Kentucky still has options for big men in the class with Nerlens Noel and Anthony Bennett and either would likely vault UK’s class to the top of the national rankings. The final dominoes in the class are about to start falling, and we won’t have to wait much longer to see which of them fall Kentucky’s way.

How is UCLA reeling in a number 1 class? They suck horse bowels.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:36 pm
Snoop Dog, House of Blues New Orleans, Friday March 9. This will be the best SEC tourny EVER!!!
February 27th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
UK can’t take all the good players, Cal has others ranked higher than Tony Parker!
February 27th, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Why are we talking about the # 9 center in the class? That’s a Louisville-level kid
February 27th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
2. It sounds fishy to me too. It would be like Joker or Billy G getting a top recruiting class.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Kid looks fat to me.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:51 pm
I watched him play on tv. He looked terrible. it was just one game, but his body language (and numbers) was poor.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
This means Nerlens is ours, folks.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:59 pm
That’s Renardo Sidney.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
This is good news. It likely means Cal has pulled the offer (assuming it had been extended)and that means here comes the high top fade.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Poor man’s Jared Sullinger. 6’8-ish, glued to the floor, not entirely athletic.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
I agree #7
I watched him play on TV and he looked strong, but slow
February 27th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
Usually means we are in line for someone better. This a way of saving face for these kids because they know something is about to go down. Just a thought.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:11 pm
If I see another Michelle Obama add on this site….I’ll never return!!! EVER!!!!
February 27th, 2012 at 7:18 pm
8,12,13, agree watched on tv wonder if he can dunk? take my chances on willie cauley.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:18 pm
Good luck to the kid. Nerlens will be nowhere but UK. Looks like Parker found out.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
17 EXACTLY
February 27th, 2012 at 7:22 pm
15 the more times u type her name the more likely the ad is to show up
February 27th, 2012 at 7:25 pm
Anyone looking for a place to stay in New Orleans pretty cheap, e-mail me. My bud backed out and I need someone who can split the room cost. Great location and hotel room downtown. Just be cool with drinking and smoking. ukyblue35@hotmail.com
February 27th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
He’s not good enough for UK.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:28 pm
#15 Firefox with Adblock Plus
February 27th, 2012 at 7:37 pm
#7 I agree. Looks like the next Renardo Sidney
February 27th, 2012 at 7:41 pm
I bet he can eat 100 taco bell tacos in one sitting.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:41 pm
#20 count me in. not.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:42 pm
Why does UCLA get a good class.may be because they are a close #2 program to us Cal does a wonderful job but there is other schools too.Which makes what he’s done even more impressive
February 27th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
I always was a little suspect of his sexuality since Eva Longoria dropped him.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:47 pm
lol, its amazing times being part of BBN, when we are tickled that a top 20 kid doesnt list us because it probably means we already have someone better…..Cal is quite the man
February 27th, 2012 at 7:47 pm
beware of #20 … this has sting written all over it !!! as Admiral Acbar once said “IT’S A TRAP !!!”
February 27th, 2012 at 7:56 pm
Georgia? Seriously?
February 27th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
29) No damn trap…totally legitimate offer. Just trying to save some of my cost and help someone out who may need it.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:07 pm
If we get Poythress, Bazz, and Noel is would be ridiculous. Those are arguable the 3 best and athletic kids in the class. Lexington would remain Lob City.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:07 pm
Tony Parker is man child. I’ve watched him play down here in metro Atlanta since he was a freshman. Parker was once a top 5 player in his class when he was a freshman. Parker hasn’t gotten much better since he was a freshman though. I know we all trust in Calipari when it comes to recruits but I was kind of shocked when I saw he offered Parker a scholly. My guess is Parker ends up at duke. Coach K has been all over him. Parker could be like J. Sullinger or he could be like R. Sidney. It just depends on what type of day he is having.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
Ciao baby
February 27th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
I love our coach!! hes a mastermind!
February 27th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
20 – that’s halarious. Can I stay in your hotel room and drink and smoke with you?
Btw – this kid looked like he would be a weak link. Slow and awkward.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
I watched the kid on TV also, and I wondered why we would be interested in him.He was fat, slow and didn’t seem to me to have a high motor at all. I hate talking about a kid but that was my first impression of him. I think he is overated and someone calling him a Sullinger is way off. More of a Renaldo Sidney for sure.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:27 pm
I believe my post was deleted so I’ll put it on here again. #15, I’d rather see Michelle on here than her no good sorry excuse for a president husband!!! As for Parker, merely a back up so who cares. Bennett and Noel are the ones we want.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:59 pm
38- Hello!
February 27th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
If we would have got him he would have been the second coming on here. Give it a break,he’s just a kid a good player might have thought we were getting Noel and didn’t want to sit like what happened to Orton so book luck to him and to us with noel
February 27th, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Another Josh Smith or ReLARDO Sidney type player in my opinion.

Bush may have been bad but I am spending more money than he did and will continue to spend and waste more…fact!
