The Houston-area HS basketball website RCS Sports says this about Drew's commitment.
The floor general wanted you guys to know why he chose UNCG. "They have been recruiting me the hardest". He took a visit to the campus last week and that played a huge role as well. "The visit was an awesome experience, and I know I have an opportunity to start and make an immediate impact as a freshman. Playing in the Coliseum in front of 24,000 people doesn't hurt either". Actually the school decided to move all home games to Greensboro Coliseum which can seat up to 24k, but is sectioned off to accommodate 11,687 during UNCG games - an easy amount to sell out for the Spartan fans.
Here is an article by the UT-San Antonio website UTSAtailgaters.
"He has great leadership. This will be his fourth year on varsity at the 5A level. He's a great student and he'll graduate in either the top 5 or top 10 of his class", said Coach Mason (LaPorte HS Head Coach). Athletically, Parker is known as a true point. He can break down the defense of the dribble, is known to push the ball ahead to his teammates and is always looking for the open player. Drew has been evaluated as having a nice jump shot up to three point range, but does need to work on his shot being consistent.
Some of the schools according to Coach Mason that are showing interest in Drew are Columbia, Dartmouth, UNC-Greensboro, Cal-Poly and other SLC schools along with UTSA.
Coach Mason also filled us in and let us know that dating back to his junior high days, Drew just knows how to win as thus far all three years on varsity have resulted in more than 20+ wins each season. Drew looks to make 2009-2010 his fourth straight year of 20+ wins.
With all the talent in the state of Texas year in year out, Parker is obviously one of the best to be ranked in the Texas Top 20.
This article is from a Montana State blog.
Parker is an excellent student who is looking at much at the educational opportunities at the schools who are recruiting him as much if not more than the athletic opportunities. He currently holds offers from Texas State, Montana State, Cornell, UNC-Greensboro, UTSA, Columbia, HBU, Lamar, Lehigh, the Naval Academy and Air Force. He has already visited UNC-Greensboro and Columbia on official trips and plans to take an unofficial trip to Texas State.
TexasHoops.com ranks Drew as the 17th best player in the state.
Drew is a savvy floor leader with a good understanding of the game. He sees the floor very well, can push the ball up court and kicks it ahead to the open player in stride. He can break down the defense off the dribble, always knows where his teammates are and can knock down shots out to the 3 point line. He is a good shooter but does have an odd release that can lead to him being streaky at times. He is a solid one-on-one defender, really knows how to run a team and plays with a ton of confidence/cockiness.
Drew plays AAU for the Houston Clippers. Their team website has tons of pictures, videos and information.
Welcome to the Spartans, Drew !!!
