Five schools are recruiting four-star senior Kris Parker the hardest

Kris Parker, a four-star prospect and one of the best available players in the 2023 class, says five programs are recruiting him the hardest.

“Alabama, Missouri, Villanova, UCF, and Florida State,” Parker responded when asked via text message.

The 6-foot-7 shooting guard out of Quincy (Fla.) Crossroad Academy has taken official visits to UCF, Alabama, and Villanova. He was also scheduled to visit Missouri officially on December 3rd, but the visit never occurred. It has yet to be rescheduled.

Additionally, Parker had a commitment date set for December 12th, but decided to postpone to take more time to make a decision.

Parker ranks as the No. 84 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies. On3’s evaluators are much higher on him, ranking him 64th overall in the class.

Along with the schools mentioned above, Parker has also received offers from DePaul, NC State, Illinois, and others.

Parker Scouting Report

“Kris Parker is a long and rangy wing,” On3’s Jamie Shaw writes. “He has confidence on the ball in the half-court, and his ability as a shotmaker continues to rise. He will need to continue adding strength and overall sharpening his tools and shot selection. There is a lot of natural talent here. There is an upside still to go, and the intrigue lies with the fact he continues to get better a little better each time out.”
