I am hoping for Okafor to break Parker's records because if he does, it's probably because he gets to play a few more games.
As of right now, Okafor currently has 352 points and a total of 171 rebounds (75 Off & 96 Def), with the season being right at over a little over the mid-point.
Last year Jabari broke both the scoring (670) and rebounding (306) records at Duke for a freshman.
As special as a player as Okafor is, I just thought it would be interesting to see what he could do as far as freshman scoring and rebounds, for the rest of the season.
Parker last year finished averaging 19.1 ppg and 8.7 rebounds per game. As of right now, Okafor is averaging 18.5 ppg and 9.0 rebounds per game. I believe that this is obtainable based off of these numbers.
From statistics compiled from last year with help from numerous members, I don't think that Okafor has cracked the top ten on either list for a freshman, but it shouldn't be much longer before he does.

I'm a little confused. While I'm pretty certain that the Dawkins at 506 is Johnny, not Andre, I'm not sure why there are two Parkers on the list at 670 and 581. I can't remember any other player with that last name, and I will admit that right now I'm too lazy to look it up. :-)
My apologizes, that was a copy and paste error from when I brought the information over from a post I posted last year about Jabari Parker.
The Parker is Jabari, just didn't delete it from the last list I posted in the Parker thread, which was the same info I started this thread with.
Thank you for pointing that out.

With nine regular season games left, and at least one game in the ACC and NCAA tournaments, with his current average of 18.1 ppg and 9.3 rpg, we could project a final total of 597 points and 307 rebounds for Jahlil.
It looks like a pretty safe bet that the rebounding title will be Jahlil's, as I would expect Duke to play more than this minimum number of games.
I noticed that too.
With those four additional games, he could also squeak by Marbury for the second ACC spot overall. With the projected points at 597, he's basically at 600 and averaging 18.1 ( ~20ppg x 4) Jahlil could just make it to 680, particularly if he goes off for 30 or so at some point before the season is over:
Points (ACC)
721 -- Kenny Anderson, GT
680 -- Stephon Marbury, GT
670 -- Jabari Parker, Duke
607 -- Dion Glover, GT
594 -- Rashad McCants, UNC
587 -- Tyler Hansbrough, UNC
582 -- Joe Smith, Maryland
581 -- Gene Banks, Duke
568 -- Mark Price, GT
563 -- Skip Wise, Clemson
Throwing out my generous rounding above (18.1 ---> 20), at 398 points currently, Jahlil would need another 323 points or 18 games worth of points to pass Kenny Anderson. If we have a bye until Friday in the ACC Tournament, it looks like Duke would need to play on Monday night for Jahlil to have a shot at breaking Kenny Anderson's record, which seems right to me... that's a legendary record worth breaking only by an outstanding player in an outstanding season.
Of course, it's very possible that we play on Thursday in the ACC Tournament, which would give Jahlil a shot at the record if we play on Sunday in the ACC Tourney and Duke makes it to Indianapolis.
Update after the Notre Dame game in which Jahlil played 23 minutes, having to sit a majority of the first half due to foul trouble.
