Jabari Parker OK After Injury Scare

Jabari Parker, the No. 1 player in the Class of 2013, is OK after suffering a hairline fracture of his left big toe and will be able to compete for the USA U17 team in the upcoming World Championship in Lithuania.

“Forty-eight hours ago he had a hairline fracture on his big toe and now it’s healed,” Sonny Parker, Jabari’s dad, told the Chicago Tribune on Friday afternoon. “That’s the power of prayer.”

Parker initially injured the toe during U17 practices in Colorado Springs, Colo., and X-rays revealed the fracture.

Jarell Martin Cuts List to 10

Jarell Martin, a 6-foot-9, 223-pound combo forward from Baton Rouge (La.) Madison Prep, has cut his list to 10 schools and will be down to five later this summer.

As has been reported, Martin, a 2013 forward, trimmed his list to Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, Louisville, LSU, Oklahoma State, St. John’s, Texas A & M, Tulane and UCLA.

“We’re going to look at at the end of July possibly by then cutting it down to five,” Madison Prep coach Jeff Jones told SNY.tv Friday.

Jones calls Martin, who will attend the Kevin Durant and LeBron James Skills Academies, “more of a face-up four who can play the three. He knocks down 3-balls, puts it on the floor. He’s in the mold of a Terrence Jones at Kentucky. He has a little bit better handle at this stage.”
