Comments from top ranked basketball prospect Shabazz Muhammad not good for Runnin' Rebels

by RebelReign on Aug 28, 2011 6:53 PM PDT in UNLV Basketball

The Sporting News has just published a story that features comments by Shabazz Muhammad -- who is the top rated 2012 prospect across the board -- regarding where he would like to play college basketball. Muhammad is quoted as saying, "Yeah, I think (UCLA) is an option. We've (him and Kyle Anderson) been really talking about that. Pretty much he's like my best friend now, so I'm always hanging around with him. We're just talking about UCLA, what other schools he likes, what other schools I like."

Shabazz Muhammad's current list of schools are: Arizona Wildcats, Duke Blue Devils, Kansas Jayhawks, Kentucky Wildcats, Memphis Grizzles, UCLA Bruins and UNLV Rebels.

Kyle Anderson's list of schools are: Saint John Red Storm, Seton Hall Pirates, Florida Gators, Georgetown Hoyas and UCLA Bruins.

Nothing is final until it is final, but this can not be chalked up to anything other than not-so-positive news for the Rebels...

This could be bad

However, it is still early and Anderson plays all the way across the country in New Jersey. Top players all want to play with each other, but usually in the end it does not happen.

We will see.

The Rebels

Things haven’t been the same since the Shark could get the top talent.

I agree

But it certainly is getting closer. UNLV signed a Top 50 recruit only a couple weeks back.
