Jahlil Okafor keeping options open

Posted Jul 13, 2012
Center Jahlil Okafor, the nation’s No. 2 junior, remains wide open in his recruitment and isn’t affected by Jabari Parker’s college list, according to Okafor’s father on Thursday. Okafor’s father, Chukwudi Okafor, said Thursday his son’s recruiting process was still in its infancy. “Jahlil and Jabari are two different things,” Chukwudi said. “It makes sense for Jabari to have a list now. Jahlil’s goal is to get better, and everything else when the dust settles he will know about (his recruitment.)” (ESPN.com)
