CHICAGO -- The NCAA may now permit coaches to call and text recruits unlimitedly, but the restrictions in contacting Simeon’s Jabari Parker, the nation’s Class of 2013 recruit, haven’t changed.

Parker remains off limits. His parents, Sonny and Lola Parker, do not permit college coaches to contact Parker directly. They must call or text them.

“Everybody doing their job, but they still can’t have Jabari’s number,” Sonny said on Tuesday. “That ain’t changed.

“We want him to enjoy being who he is. If he wants to talk, we’ll ask him first. Right now, we don’t want him to be over-bombarded because coaches can sometimes be aggressive, and that can be overwhelming.”

Sonny said all of the coaches have stuck to the rules and have not attempted to contact Parker directly. Just in case, though, Parker did change his number recently.

“It’s okay,” Sonny said of the new NCAA rules. “It’s how you handle it. Don’t get overwhelmed, don’t get caught up. They have to do their job. We’re doing our job.”

Coaches have been reaching out to Parker’s parents in the last week. Sonny said they’ve heard from Duke, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan State, among others.

“I talked to (Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski) the other day,” Sonny said. “He wished me a Happy Father’s Day. My voicemail is filled. It’s been filled for a year.”

Parker, who was the ESPNChicago.com 2011-2012 Player of the Year, and his family haven’t discussed recruiting much yet. Sonny said Parker would trim his list to five schools at the end of the summer and begin to make visits.

Parker is currently training with the 17-and-under USA team in Colorado for the upcoming FIBA World Championship in Lithuania.

Illinois produced one of its most talented high school basketball classes in 2011. Now as freshmen, a number of them are already making an impact in the college game.

Here's a look at the most notable ones:

Anthony Davis, Kentucky, Perspective High School (Chicago)

Davis, a 6-10 forward, is considered the nation's top freshman and is the early favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. It's still so strange that only a few in Chicago knew about him until after his junior season. He's averaging 12.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.5 blocks, 1.4 steals for the top-ranked Wildcats.

Ryan Boatright, Connecticut, East Aurora High School

Plenty of people doubted Boatright could continue to be a dynamic playmaker at the college level because of his size -- listed at 6-feet. So far, Boatright has proven them wrong. While it's still early, he's showing the Allen Iverson comparisons aren't far off. He's averaging 18.5 points, three rebounds, 4.5 assists and one steal.

Chasson Randle, Stanford, Rock Island High School

While Boatright and Davis didn't show much interest in any of the in-state schools, Randle, a 6-1 guard, chose Stanford over the Illini. He's been stellar so far for Stanford. With the Cardinal off to an 8-1 start, Randle has averaged 11.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 steals.

David Sobolewski, Northwestern, Benet Academy (Lisle)

Sobolewski quickly earned the trust of his Wildcats coach Bill Carmody and his teammates as the team's starting point guard. He's been playing 31.8 minutes a game and averaging 7.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and four assists. He has the chance to be a four-year starter for Northwestern like his predecessor Michael Thompson.

Tracy Abrams, Illinois, Mount Carmel High School (Chicago)

The Illini's Chicago recruits haven't done a whole lot yet. Abrams is logging the most minutes out of Nnanna Egwu, Myke Henry and Mike Shaw. Abrams is averaging 16.2 minutes to go along with 3.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.7 steals.

Sam Thompson, Ohio State, Whitney Young (Chicago)

Thompson is seeing the floor a bit for No. 2 Ohio State. He's averaging 3.4 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 9.9 minutes for the Buckeyes.

Jamee Crockett, DePaul, Crete-Monee High School

Crockett, a 6-4 forward, earned his first career start for DePaul against Loyola on Wednesday. He's become more comfortable playing college basketball in recent weeks. He's averaging 5.6 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals.

Julius Brown, Toledo, Hillcrest (Country Club Hills)

Brown's numbers are as good as any freshman from the state. He's averaging 13.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals for Toledo, which is 6-2.

Abdel Nader, Northern Illinois, Niles North (Skokie)

Nader, a 6-7 forward, has been one of the few highlights for the Huskies this season. Considered a recruiting steal, Nader's averaging 10.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 steals and one block in 24.7 minutes.

Roosevelt Jones, Butler, O'Fallon High School

Jones, a 6-4 forward, has jumped into the starting lineup for the Bulldogs. He's averaging 5.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 steals. He had a double-double against Xavier.

Greg Travis, UIC, Curie High School (Chicago)

Travis has been one of the Flames' more consistent players early on. He's averaging 7.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.4 minutes.

Derrick Marks, Boise State, Plainfield Central High School

Marks has contributed right away for Boise State. He's averaging 8.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals for Boise State.
