Greetings. Back from Adam Greenberg coverage over the past few days. If you're somehow not aware of it by now, it's a nice story. Check it out.

Back to UConn affairs, it appears Kevin Ollie's in-home visit with Jabari Parker went very well last week.

"It was a great home visit," Parker's father, Sonny, told ESPN Chicago.

Parker will make visits to Duke and Michigan State, and will soon decide which other schools to visit. Will UConn make the cut? Stay tuned ...

Elsewhere, former UConn forward Jamal Coombs-McDaniel has been suspended four games by Hofstra for doing "stupid stuff", a source tells me - though that's not exactly how Hofstra describes it.

UConn at least has a foot in the door in the recruitment of Jabari Parker, the most hyped high school basketball prospect since LeBron James.

Kevin Ollie will get an in-home visit with Parker sometime next week, according to ESPNChicago.com. Parker has also added UConn to his list of prospective landing spots.

Parker, a Class of 2013 forward, had previously listed his top 10 schools in July, and it included BYU (he is of the Mormon faith), DePaul, Duke, Florida, Georgetown, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina and Stanford.

His father, Sonny Parker, told ESPNChicago.com regarding the UConn upconming visit:


"It was Jabari's decision. He's picking all the schools for the home visits. He's talked to coach Calhoun previously before. That's one of the schools that showed some interest to him. He's had conversations with them previously. Of course, coach Kevin Ollie came in, and (Jabari) wanted them for a home visit."

Even if this is still a long shot, pretty impressive for Ollie to get a foot in the door.

*** Elswhere, as you've probably already heard, they're getting the band back together: UConn appears close to hiring Ricky Moore as an assistant coach.
