Jabari Parker doesn’t care if he loses his No. 1 ranking
Posted Jul 18, 2012

He doesn't care about recruiting rankings. In an era when most top prospects pay close attention to how recruiting services evaluate them, Parker's parents say he measures success by scholarship offers, high marks in school and state championship trophies.
