Jabari Watch--it's OVER!

Probably. But I bet Jabari could commit the day before the season started and Coach Rose would find a way to have a scholarship available for him.

Here's a new video of Jabari:

SLT reporting that Rose is one of 8 coaches invited to the Parker home for an in- home visit. so there's still a chance.....

I actually believe that BYU is Jabari's to lose. He seems to be a different breed of athlete, in that attention, prestige, etc is not as high of priority for him as it is for most top 10 recruits.



He seems to be a smart kid and realize that BYU"s 2012 and 2013 recruiting classes are top notch.



He realizes that he may have more support in living a virtuous/chaste life at BYU (still difficult but more support).



He knows Coach Rose is a great coach AND a great guy and will be their to support him along with coaching him.



He knows what Jimmer was able to do at BYU.



He knows that he could cause shock waves at BYU and enter BYU legend OR be one of the many top recruits to enter these other schools every year.



If he goes to BYU, he will have a legitimate chance at a final 4. If he stays 2 years, we may be a favorite for the championship. He would be loved by BYU fans forever, ... as long as he doesn't pull a Heaps, which I have no doubt that he won't have that problem ... or he could just be another #1 recruit at one of the other programs.



I really think BYU has a good shot. Keeping fingers crossed!

Agreed with all.

I hope he sees it your way.

I notice Greg Wrubell is reporting BYU in Jabari's final 5 in his twitter feed. :)

All the news sources reporting now that BYU one of last five under consideration. He seems to have a well thought out list, but I'll bet he's already decided, just keeping it under wraps until he's ready.

"So you're saying there's still a chance!"

Of course there is. And while it is not for certain, I really think that JB would not be punking Coach Rose. He would not lead him on if BYU was eliminated. I think it will come down to BYU and One other school.he either wants the byu experience or settles in with Coach K.

Still not getting my hopes up.

JP announces NEXT THURSDAY!



BYU hasn't faired well with recruits who have press conferences. Ugh.

The day of the Bowl game? Coincidence? Good omen?

Yup - Dec 20th announcement at his school. Will probably be earlier in the day than our Bowl Game. I think he had at least one visit after BYU - might have been Stanford. Something accelerated his time-frame to announce a bit. He announced "no mission" last week.



Maybe he will serve a Manti Teo type mission wherever he goes - BYU would be nice - I love underdogs.



Maybe Timpview #2 and his school #1 nationally had an impact.

Not looking good........Sonny Parker told Jim Hailey of the USA Today that it's likely between Duke and Michigan State for Jabari's services. I wonder if Rose has gotten the "it's me not you speech yet"?? How does Rose change his mind??



Although it does sound like Isiah Thomas is telling Jabari to go where he feels the most comfortable and hopefully that's BYU.

I have a feeling grocery stores in Utah County are going to sell out of this product that night after RN starts the bowl game and Parker opts for St. Elsewhere:

My Bad. Need to move back to Utah so I can keep this all straight. I have never seen either school. I do not think either school existed back when I lived there.

Not sure but I do not remember it. I was in Provo High School until 1968 Spring. Transferred to Wasatch High. Came back to BYU in Fall 1969 and graduated Summer 1972. I am that old. MBA June 74 at the U and mostly gone from Utah since other than working in SLC for two years in about 1980.

Timpview opened in 1977.
