Colorado: (Head) Coach (Tad) Boyle says he really likes my versatility on the court and they say they think it’s a good fit for me,” Parquet said. “They believe they can really develop my game if I go there and get to play against good competition in the Pac 12. Over these last few weeks, I’ve been doing some research on the school and I really like what I see.”

Sat next to his dad at the game. Sounds like things are looking good!

Official welcome and congrats to Mr. Parquet!

There you go. Tad's kept recruiting so quiet this year, nice to see him finalize things.

That offer from Sampson and Houston is looking better & better all the time. Their guards can play.

Just checked up on Parquet and (alert: homer take) I think he is criminally underrated. Parquet was named 6A MVP in his district in Texas and was the best player on the best defensive team (he was also their leading scorer by far). Based off this highlight video of one game (he's #0), he looks to have a lot of tools in his toolbox on offense

He is also more built that I thought he would be

As long as he puts up numbers similar to Kin with a better defensive rating, nobody is going to complain.

Thanks for posting that HQ. I've been super hesitant about this class but seeing those few clips definitely makes me feel better – great frame, repeatable motion with his shot, and hopefully being on the best defensive team (plus being under-recruited) means he has a chip on his shoulder

Was kind of hoping it was #4, for the all-hair team. But 0 looks legit.

I'm intrigued by both of our guard signings, but based on @BSNChase's recent article, Parquet may have some potential as an actual PG. That's exciting.

Sounds like he really took to it in the few games he had to run the point for his HS team. Those triple doubles tell me he's got the right mindset for it.

I read that article and that's me after reading it:
