CHICAGO -- Jabari Parker, the nation's No. 2 senior out of Simeon Career Academy here, said Friday his decision to commit to Duke has resulted in some fans harassing him on Twitter.

"I think I'm getting more tweets," Parker said during his lunch hour at Simeon on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "Fans are just now giving me a hard time. They sometimes just forget I'm a kid.

"Real hateful stuff. It's no problem, though. I know it comes with the territory, and it's just going to make me stronger."

Parker announced his commitment to the Blue Devils at Simeon Thursday live on ESPNU. He chose Duke over BYU, Florida, Michigan State and Stanford.

Among the hundreds of direct mentions at Parker's Twitter account (@JabariParker22) on Thursday, some couldn't resist criticizing and insulting the 17-year-old for his choice:

• "Ur a loser. Have fun not having a pro career after duke #dukesucks #UNC"
