Could Jahlil Okafor be No. 1 prep player for 2014?

Posted May 26, 2012
Simeon's Jabari Parker already is acknowledged as the No. 1 player in the class of 2013. Whitney Young's Jahlil Okafor is making a determined bid to claim the No. 1 spot in the class of 2014. "He will impact the high school game in ways that no other player has in this state," Whitney Young coach Tyrone Slaughter said. "He is as polished a post player as you will see. Eddy Curry and Rashard Griffith were not at his level at the same time on offense." (CSN Chicago)
