>>Top Recruit Parker To Wait To Sign

Top high school recruit Jabari Parker won't be signing his letter of intent when the early period begins on Wednesday.

Lola Parker says her son is "not signing." She says he'll probably commit to a school in December and make it official in the spring.

Jabari Parker, who plays for Chicago's Simeon Career Academy, has made official visits to Michigan State, Duke and Florida.

A trip to Stanford scheduled for earlier this month likely will happen in early December, instead, because he's been going for therapy on his right foot four days a week. He's also scheduled to visit Brigham Young over Thanksgiving weekend.

Lola Parker says her son hasn't ruled out any of those five schools. The early signing period runs through Nov. 21.

>>Big East Conference Announces New Divisions

Central Florida, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville, Rutgers and South Florida make up the East Division. Boise State, Houston, Memphis, San Diego State, SMU and Temple are in the West Division. A Big East Championship Game will now be played between the top team from each division.
