2012-13 Girls Basketball Preview...
Who's the team to beat this season in Illinois Girls basketball? Can Whitney Young run the table again, or will Marian Catholic or Marist rise and become ball queen?


Well, things tipoff November 12 and the run for State begins.... Here is our early assessment...

CONGRATULATIONS JABARI
Humble isn't usually the first word that comes to mind when describing a star athlete, but it's the one most often used by people who have been around Jabari: the high school janitor, the hall monitors, the cheerleaders, even hard-bitten sports reporters and Chicago's famously combative mayor. What makes this all the more surprising is that Jabari, 17, is not just the best high school player in the state. He's the best high school player since LeBron James. To read the story, click here!

Here is @JabariParker22 latest school selections: UK, Stanford, Michigan State, Kansas, Florida, Duke, BYU, Georgetown, Depaul, UNC. No order.
