Kendrick Nunn (6-2, 180, SG/PG), Maverick Morgan (6-10, 240, C),
Jaylon Tate (6-1, 165, PG)
The Fighting Illini slipped out of the race for Parker, but head coach John Groce nabbed a couple of his talented
Simeon (Chicago) teammates in Nunn and Tate and is off to a strong start recruiting-wise in Champaign.
12. Brigham YoungCommitments: No. 66
Nick Emery (6-1, 175, SG),
Jakob Hartsock (6-7, 205, PF),
Eric Mika (6-8, 220, PF/C),

Luke Worthington (6-8, 230, PF/C)
The Cougars have three current commits from one powerhouse Utah high school program: Emery, an elite scorer, and Mika in the 2013 class and 2014 guard
T.J. Haws all hail from
Lone Peak (Highland).
13. MarquetteCommitments: No. 75
Deonte Burton (6-5, 230, SF), No. 82
Duane Wilson Jr. (6-2, 170, PG),
John Dawson (6-1, 175, PG), JC Jameel McKay (6-7, 190, PF/SF)
In addition to a pair of Top 100 in-state talents, Buzz Williams used the (sarcasm alert) well-worn New Mexico-to-Milwaukee pipeline to land Dawson.
14. ArkansasCommitments: No. 16
Bobby Portis (6-9, 215, PF), No. 80
Moses Kingsley (6-9, 220, C)
Portis and Kingsley were teammates on the Nike EYBL circuit and created major problems on the defensive end.
15. North CarolinaCommitments: No. 18
Isaiah Hicks (6-8, 200, PF), No. 79
Nate Britt (6-1, 170, PG)
Hicks and Britt will be major contributors for the Tar Heels, but Roy Williams is in need of a bona fide star. Recently re-classified
Noah Vonleh, ranked No. 6 in the Class of 2013 Top 100, could be that guy.
