Shabazz Muhammad Diary: Three leaders emerge
Words. Shabazz Muhammad
Few players, if any, had as productive a summer as Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, NV) shooting guard Shabazz Muhammad — evidenced by his 32 ppg scoring average on the AAU scene. Now every school from North Carolina to UCLA is in hot pursuit of the 6-5 junior, making his one of the most intriguing recruiting stories in the country.
Muhammad, who is ranked No. 8 in the HSH National Top 50, has agreed to give us exclusive access by chronicling his thoughts in this regular diary where he’ll keep everyone updated on his high school season and the recruiting process:
*** *** ***
What’s up world! Between the holidays and then basketball season getting underway, I haven’t done a diary entry in a while, so the first thing I’ll say is Happy New Year!
A lot has been going well for my team lately. We didn’t do that well at the City of Palms (Fort Myers, FL) tournament, and we got to the title game of the Les Schwab Invitational (Portland, OR) and lost to DeMatha (MD), but since then we’ve really come together as a team and have really been playing well. Our team is definitely getting a lot more attention this year and maybe that affected us a little at the bigger tournaments, but that’s all behind us now. I feel like we’ve made the necessary adjustments and we’re playing like a team now. I’m excited about the rest of the season.
I know that I said I’d be cutting my list of colleges down at some point, but I haven’t done that yet. I’ve got some great schools recruiting me, so I feel fortunate. Right now Duke, Kentucky, UCLA, North Carolina, Louisville, Memphis, UNLV and Kansas are all recruiting me pretty hard.
I know that I’m allowed to take five official visits, but I don’t know that I’ll take all five. I definitely want to make the best decision, so I’ll probably take around three or so. I’ve been getting more serious about the whole process, and right now I’d say that UCLA, Duke and Kentucky are standing out. I’d say they’re my top three. I still like other schools, but those are the three that are standing out.
I’m definitely gonna visit Kentucky soon, though I’m not sure on the date yet. I’m headed to Duke on Friday. I’m really excited about that. They play Virginia on Saturday and after that I’m headed to the Hoophall Classic in Massachusetts.
I’ve been to Duke once and the atmosphere was just great! I’m really looking forward to getting down there and meeting the players and hanging out with them. I didn’t get to meet Kyrie Irving and those guys that time, so I’m ready to hang out with them. I may even find out about Kyrie’s toe while I’m down there, we’ll see. I really hope they get him back! I’m gonna keep this visit all about Duke. I want to be loyal to Coach K and those guys and I want to really get a feel for everything there. I’ve seen a lot of Duke on TV this year and they’ve looked great! I also watch Kentucky, UCLA, Kansas, Memphis and North Carolina, too.
There have been a lot of competitive games this year, but in the end if I had to predict a national championship matchup I think it’ll be Duke and … Man, it’s kind of tough … Well, I know it’s gonna be Duke.
Other than that, I’ve been listening to a lot of new music. I’m really feeling J.Cole, also Lil Wayne, Tyga and Wiz Khalifa. I’ll probably be listening to one of them before our big game next week against St. Patrick (NJ). We’ll be on TV, so we’re excited about that. I’ve been talking to Michael Gilchrist a lot heading into the game, and I know they’ve been doing really well. I hope that it comes down to the wire! It should be pretty competitive.
Mike and I talk about Kentucky, too. He’s trying to get me to come there and Austin Rivers is trying to get me to come to Duke. He’s always been recruiting me hard to Duke. Then Quincy Miller is recruiting me to Baylor, too. They’re definitely recruiting me the hardest amongst 2011 guys for sure.
Well, that’s all I’ve got for now people. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to read. Check back soon for my next entry!

Rivers recruiting Shabazz to duke before decommitting from Florida? Nothing but klass from duke.
It would be a travesty to have Shabazz get sucked into the PR/spin vortex in Durham & be wasted into 4 years of serving the plantation master.
Austin Rivers is already committed to Duke…so how is it unclassy to recruit other players to come to the same school as him. I notice you point out the duke bound player when it clearly says two other players from respectable schools are recruiting him….Duke haters are so biased…
The problematic portion of the statement is that Austin has “always” been recruiting Shabazz to Duke. He’s only been committed since 9/2/10.
Note that the other players mentioned weren’t committed to other schools. Which goes back to the notion of “klass” that you can only find at 1 b-ball program.
Duke fans are so brainwashed & clueless.
Take a chill pill Jack. HS players have a very dramatic life so “always” does not mean Austin Rivers has been recruiting for Duke even before he made his own decision about where he wants to play college ball.
I’m in agreement with Asad here. Look at your opening comment… it reaks of bias. You sound like a hater dude with a “just read mad at the world so I’m going to start a conspiracy theory…” vibe… chill.
huh? This has nothing to do with a conspiracy theory. Just commenting on what the words really mean, which would make sense with the way that the Rivers commitment (to Florida I mean) and recruitment was handled.
Jack,
Rivers decommitted for Florida last summer and has been committed to Duke for awhile now. As for the rest of your comments, aren’t you being just a tad melodramatic? Doubt Shabazz is in college more than 1 year, let alone 4, no matter where he goes.
As for your first sentence, Shabazz said “He’s always been recruiting me hard to Duke.” Rivers committed to Duke on 9/2/10. So for the last 4 months is “always”?
As for the second thought, really? That why Singler and Smith are still in Durham? Anyway, it’s not dramatic at all. K does what’s best for the program, not the players.
LoL…. you sound like a high school drama queen. Were you an extra on “White Chicks”?
Why are Singler and Smith still in Durham? Maybe you should ask them? After winning a National Championship, they could be trying to break some NCAA records and develop basketball skills show they’re better equipped for the NBA.
I suppose using your logic, Coach K (“does what’s best for the program, not the players”) only did what was best for Team USA and not for the players. That’s why Kobe’s been playing decent defense and showing great leadership to help the Lakers win back-to-back championships since the 2008 Olympics.
It must also be why Lebron James and Dwayne Wade have taken their skill set to another level and why Miami is showing just how dominant they can be as a team. Even Chris Bosh (who also played for Team USA) is showing improvement and new depth to his game.
I guess Coach K didn’t do what was best for Kevin Durant by allowing him to show the world just how good he can be during the World Basketball Tournament.
I could go on… Lamar Odom, Russel Westbrook, Carlos Boozer, Andre Iguodala, Jason Kidd, Eric Gordon, etc. These are some of the NBA elite players that help their teams play better.
Sure, they’re were all talented enough to get to that level before Coach K but I don’t doing what’s best for USA basketball has taken away from any of the players.
Wow, you’re really working this article overtime trying to get Shabazz to Duke, huh?
Singler & Smith will not be taken any higher in the draft so what would “showing they’re better equipped for the NBA accomplish”?
LOL at you turning to none other than Team USA to refute my point that K tries to keep kids AT DUKE for his program’s gain. Sorry, chief, but Team USA has nothing to do with my point and doesn’t even make sense. Actually it demonstrates better than I thought possible why people dislike Duke.
You claiming something “reeks of bias” and then claiming that Coach K is responsible for the improvements in the games of Kobe, LeBron, Wade, & Bosh is one of the most ironic things on the internet. That is high comedy and certainly not biased or arrogant at all.
Did Durant (or any of the other players mentioned) play for K at Duke? LOL at you even bringing that up. Irrelevant, but I see why you’re trying to weave KD into Duke basketball.
Honestly, it’s a little embarrassing reading your arrogant posts. As you said below, we should let Shabazz decide for himself instead of trying to fill his mind with crap in the hopes that it sways him.
your ignorance is hilarious man. I check out DIME and SLAM after a basketball workout to check out what’s going on in competitive basketball these days. Why do you assume I want Shabazz to go to Duke? I think he could be just as good match with Q Miller and Bello @ Baylor. Kentucky could be a good fit also if there is no NBA lockout.
Do you even play basketball man? Why do you assume that all that matters to either Smith or Singler is to enter the league at a higher draft pick? Long-term, ballers care more about how long they can play in the league and having the skills and ability to perform at high level… that’s where the money is because many teams will be competing to have you on their team. Why would you assume Coach K asked Smith or Singler to stay? They both made their own decisions based on each others’ long term goals. Plus they claimed to have had fun playing for a team that won the 2010 National Championship.
My comments were aimed at your bias against Duke coach Mike K. To quote you ‘chief’ “Anyway, it’s not dramatic at all. K does what’s best for the program, not the players”
Carlos Boozer did play for Duke Coach K and he left early the NBA. He’s playing good minutes in the league.
My observation was that all the players who played for Team USA and won championships under Coach K (yes basketball players do respect coaches that help bring out our best) are leading the NBA currently. (Derrick Rose, Jason Kidd, Kevin Durant, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Russel Westbrook, Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, Dwight Howard, etc.) I’ll admit that it could be from work ethic and natural ability but don’t bad mouth Coach K when the players themselves enjoy playing. (Why do you call him a “plantation master”? He’s from Chi-town and his family’s from Poland. Do your own research instead of name calling.)
Donnie Walsh could be just as responsible for assembling all of that elite talent and athleticism.
I just want to point out what I observe from my love for the game. Shabazz Muhammad has talent and athleticism as well. From past players who didn’t reach their full potential we know that alone is not enough to shine in the NBA.
Playing with strong teammates helps bring out your best game.
e.g. a healthy Quincy Miller, Deuce Bello, and Shabazz Muhammad @ Baylor
or
Austin Rivers, Quinn Cook, Josh Hairston, and Bazz @ Duke
or
Michael Gilchrist, Marquis Teague, Anthony Davis, Kyle Wiltjer and Shabazz @ Kentucky
In my humble opinion if there is a NBA lockout, Shabazz may not get to play a lot of minutes if there is a logjam of players in the same position in NCAA college ball.
However, since Shabazz is left handed, I think he’ll be an asset to any team that already has slashers that favor attacking to the right side.
Yo Asad called you on your clear bias and I’m just agreeing. You still sound like a hater and an instigator who can dish it but can’t take it. my 2 cents… I hope you’re not someone who doesn’t give a damn about basketball players just about your own ‘precious’ school legacy. Please don’t be mad Jack…. LoL.
my bad… I meant Jerry Colangelo with Team USA and not Donnie Walsh. (I wish the NY Knicks had that much success with winning basketball. Looks like this could be the year the Knicks make a Eastern conference challenge in the playoffs. ) Donnie Walsh… smh
Wow. You’re really not very smart, are you, son?
Seriously, Baller4never, were you the inspiration for Simple Jack?
You have to love someone who immediately calls out someone else’s ignorance then shortly thereafter touts his own credentials as coming from reading Dime & Slam “right after a workout”. You are a latter day James Naismith. The comments you make would have betrayed such a superficial understanding of the game, but thanks for making it even easier for us.
I do love the “did you even play basketball” comment. Kid, I promise, I played at a higher level than you, but that has nothing to do with calling out my initial comment or what we’re discussing now.
You should go back and edit your tripe about the all stars playing for K. It makes no sense. What you need to understand – and maybe you can read a couple more magazine to grasp this – is that the best players were brought onto Team USA. Coach K did not take random players from the league & make them into the superstars they are. They started their involvement with Team USA as superstars. K is a good coach, but he is being credited for something he should be – USA basketball changing into a program that selects & keeps players in the program, instead of assembling a team of stars and practicing for a month before the Olympics, etc., before disbanding until next time. Also note that Boozer came to duke as a top 5 player in his class, left duke as a 2nd round draft pick, and then became a 2 X NBA all star afterwards. What does that tell you re: K’s ability to develop elite talent?
As for the “plantation master” comment, what does being from Chicago (just call it that, schmuck, calling it “Chi-town” just makes it look like you’re trying too hard) and being Polish have to do with anything?
It’s also comical that you’re “just agreeing” with Asad when you go off on these ridiculous tangents and pull in the crap that you do.
Why would you assume I “don’t give a damn” about a player and instead care more about a “school’s legacy” when I’ve said the exact opposite above (from my opening post on)? Talk about reading too much into a post and being a drama queen. You should try out for Glee if you can fit it in between your voracious magazine reading.
Maybe you could get a better understanding of the sport if you have someone read your magazines out loud to you. You should also consider comic books. Don’t worry, if you keep plugging away, you’ll get there, little fella.
LoL…. hindsight is 20/20 “big” fella. You mad son.
Let’s recap what’s happened in the world of basketball since “Jack” decided to make it personal and question history.
With the shortened NBA season which players from “Plantation Master” Coach K are thriving in the League?
Shane Battier found a nice defensive role with the Miami Heat.
Elton Brand is demonstrating veteran leadership with a deep Philadelphia 76ers team.
Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng are helping carry the amazing Chicago Bulls even when Derrick Rose is injured. (Joakim Noah is a huge help)
Kyrie Irving is helping bring a renaissance of good team basketball to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Mike Dunleavy Jr. is playing quality minutes for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Nolan Smith, JJ Redick, Josh McRoberts, Shelden Williams, Chris Duhon, and Dahntay Jones are all contributing role players for the Trailblazers, Magic, Lakers, and Nets.
Austin Rivers, Tyler Thorton, Seth Curry, Ryan Kelly, and Quinn Cook all helped the Duke Blue Devils upset UNC- Chapel Hill at the Dean Dome.
Austin Rivers hit a game winning shot at the buzzer in front of his father and Celtics Coach Doc Rivers.
I believe Coach K is enjoying the legacy and leadership he’s instilling from the players he’s worked with.
Let’s keep it simple… Jack. This is a forum for talking about recruits and their blogs. I don’t have time for the personal attacks that you’re trying to bring to this conversation. Personally I could still see Shabazz Muhammad having a successful 1 and done season @ Duke. With Matt Jones and Rasheed Sulaimon committing to Duke, Shabazz may choose to get playing time elsewhere but I don’t think it will be from Austin Rivers taking up playing time. I believe he’s got plenty of NBA teams attention after this season.
I think UCLA and UNLV have a good shot too since they’re closer to where Bazz grew up and they also have done great for the student-athletes that have gone through their program.
Peace out…
I believe Shabazz Muhammad and Alex Murphy will go to Duke together.
werd… they’ve been talking about playing basketball together for the same team for awhile. Would be an amazing thing to see especially if they get to play with the likes of Quinn Cook, Austin Rivers, Michael Gbinije, Josh Hairston, Tyler Thornton.
Particularly with Shabazz Muhammad being left-handed and great at driving / slashing to the basket collapsing other teams’ defense.
As a Duke fan, I would like to see this kid at Duke but let’s not kid ourselves, he is UNC bound.
Hey Bazz,
Just curious because there was some shock from majority of UNC fans on why they weren’t in the top 3. What were your deciding factors that dropped them out? Thanks and good luck!
If it comes down the Duke and UNC in the end, just ask the greatest of all time what he thinks and go with it. Last I heard he was owner of an NBA team.
You want to be a part of a family that includes NBA Hall of Famers or “good college players”?
Wish Bazz…would give KU a serious look.
He could be apart of something special..
Kansas looks solid this year….
Make sure you look at the box score in tonight’s Duke vs Florida State game. Duke hit EIGHT two point baskets tonight.
You think this would deter Shabazz? I know Bazz can hit the three-pointer but where he shines is in his moves to the paint, inside the paint and to the basket. If Duke is missing this inside / mid-range game, Bazz could be playing starting minutes from his freshman year instead of competing with UNC’s guards and wings who are indeed talented but not getting looks from NBA scouts until they develop some more. Btw, if there is an NBA lockout, UNC may have more players “transfer” or “off the team” to make room for upcoming recruits.
are you crazy??? unc’s wings are getting no looks? barnes despite poor performances is still a lock for the lottery…we all know how gms look primarily at potential
In NCAA college basketball, the competitive level rises and potential is supposed to translate to skill and performance. Sure few leave college ball a polished product but they can contribute to a team and help the team play at a higher competitive level. I know that GMs and scouts are still checking out Barnes. UNC is improving throughout this season but the missing pieces on that team make Harrison Barnes play out of position and try to do too much to make up for the rest of his team. and we’re left with just that… potential.
Btw, I started my comment with “if there is an NBA lockout” because I still expect Harrison Barnes to make it to the league.
Shabazz!
This is coming from a Tar Heel!! A little surpirsed to see that we weren’t in your top 3, however I understand it is a long process. Please understand that all fans on message boards are ridiculous and have no lives, so please dont take their comments seriously, they just want you at their school that bad lol!
From what I have seen you are an outstanding basketball player and will play no matter where you go, so dont worry about who we have, push to be the best!
North Carolina is image of College basketball, one bad season does not overshadow our last dominate 5 years! why wouldnt you want to be apart of that? Roy will surround you with great players and you will be prepared to excell on the next level! As a fanbase we would welcome you with open arms and create a legacy that would last forever! Best of luck on your remaining two years and hopefully will see you in the famous baby blue!!!
Shabazz probably dropped unc from his top three due to their decline in play. roy williams is not a very good coach, period. he wants to play for the best college coach of all time (coach K). And anybody can see that Duke is the “it program” right now if you want to win a championship before heading into the nba after a season, which bazz will do. Come on people don’t you know the facts about basketball. Duke CURRENTLY employs the most nba players and with the highest cummalative salary. these are facts and facts don’t lie. come to duke shabazz. once your a part of the family you will always be a part.
it’s funny how you can say a coach with 2 national championships is not a good coach
I get a kick out of some the comments from Carolina fans. UNC – Chapel Hill fans think their basketball program is the center of the universe, like China.
It usually goes something like: If you don’t play for our ‘legendary, hall of fame, g.o.a.t.’ basketball family than we don’t want anything to do with you because you don’t see the ‘truth’ of how dominant oustanding we really are.
That’s some show of loyalty and appreciation for the game of basketball. From following Shabazz Muhammad’s recruitment I would probably guess he chooses Louisville, Kentucky, or Duke.
UCLA is a possibility but I believe they’re relatively knew to the picture. Louisville may have been recruiting him the longest plus they have a commitment from Rodney Purvis already.
UK seems to get 4-5 recruits with outstanding potential every year so I would not count them out.
Duke is also on a roll and if Shabazz wants to play potentially with Kyrie Irving and Austin Rivers, I think they have a shot as well.
I didn’t know Baylor was interested but it’s not out of the question with all of the other good players that have already commited.
bazz, if you get to read this, I hope you and your father enjoyr the recruitment process and don’t feel rushed with your decision for NCAA college ball. There are haters everywhere there is a rivalry. It just gets ugly when one of the famous basketball programs feel dissed because you decided not to invite them to the Big Dance. Do what you got to do bruthuh because no matter what, feelings will get hurt and some great basketball program is going to feel rejected and hurt.
It’s part of being a man on sticking with your decision and following through with your plans on courting teams with the ball in your hands.
Take care…. peace.
I have been a Duke fan all my life but this is a young man who has he and his family to make a decision to where he is going to college! We all know Michael Jordan is the greatest to ever do it and he is from North Carolina but that being said, the tar heels players in the NBA for th last 15 years have not been all that good. Brandon Wright, Wayne Ellington, ED Cota I can go on but a lot of tar heels as well as Duke players don’t pan out in the NBA. People say duke gets all the calls man I guess y’all don’t pay attention to the games because in this year’s acc tournament the tar heels cheated the hell out of Clemson. North Carolinas gets a lot of good recruits so all I am trying to say is if a player is good he will make it in the NBA no matter where he attends College.
[...] younger — sophomore sensation Julius Randle (Prestonwood, TX) ranks 10th, while juniors Shabazz Muhammad (Bishop Gorman, NV) is 6th and Rodney Purvis (Upper Room Christian, NC) is 9th. Both Muhammad and Purvis moved up two spots [...]
Like the diary idea. Thanks for the write up.
Love Shabazz’s game. I dont understand why he’d even think about going to a school that just took 35 3s in 1 game. His versatile skill set needs to be showcased in a system that can show the whole package.
yeah… I don’t think Shabazz would be playing perimeter only in college. He has a good inside-outside game so with all of the guards that Duke has recruited, Shabazz may get to show more of dunks and driving moves in Coach K’s system.
I agree (and hope) that Shabazz wouldn’t be playing only perimeter in college & agree that duke has a lot of guards that would tend to push Shabazz further away from the perimeter. But regardless, last night was not a good display for duke’s system. Singler and smith, also have good inside-outside games and the inside parts weren’t even considered (let alone the actual post players0.
good point… Duke’s teams have historically relied on the three pointers way too often to get back in games where they’re behind.
If it was me, I would go inside and go for the and one getting the three points the old fashioned way +1… and1.
Shabazz, you already know that UK and Coach Cal will get you the most NBA ready and will provide the best college experience. Take one look at Duke’s women and then check out UK’s haha.
that’s cold… but probably true. (grin)
Shabazz, play for the BEST, Duke and Coach K!!!!!!
… Shabazz Muhammad and Quincy Miller would be an interesting combination at Baylor. Deuce Bello is a beast. I know Baylor’s been recruiting hard lately.. wonder how many scholarships they have left?
UCLA and Kentucky are just as storied programs in basketball as UNC Chapel Hill. UCLA still has the most NCAA championships since the Wooden era and Kentucky is recruiting ballers left and right. Bazz would have to compete just for playing time during his first year especially if there’s an NBA lockout. #imjustsayin
I appreciate how Shabazz Muhammad is talking about loyalty to programs that have been pursuing him actively. Continue to take things in stride young bull…
NOOOOOOO COME to CAROLINA
your grammar needs some help kz.. LoL
are you saying
DOOOOOON’T COME to CAROLINA?
NOOOOOOOOO. North Carolina is a beautiful state
and there are nice down to earth people who live out in NC.
YEEEEEEEEES… let the young man decide for himself. Kentucky, UCLA, Duke, Kansas, Louisville are all good basketball programs.
Kentucky is the best spot to grow as a bball player.
Hey Bazz,
I like that you continue to post updates on HS hoops and Dime. No one enjoys losing games (i sure don’t) I really appreciate the attitude and character you display about moving and trying to improve daily.
Not even the best teams in the NBA go undefeated so the character and resilience of an athlete is shown by how they respond to losing close games and even how they respond to injuries. I see a winning attitude and strong leadership in your writing and in watching videos of your game Shabazz. All of the schools you mentioned would benefit from having you suit up for their team.
I hope you and your father come down to a decision that is comfortable for you and helps you keep your love for competitive sports and for the game. Enjoy the journey man… peace bruh.
and Glucks with the rest of the season.
No ones draft stock has taken a worse hit the Prince Harry. Coming out of high school he was a sure fire cant miss lock for #1 and it wasnt even a close 2nd. Now this cat may fall out of the lottery. Roy cant develope a roll of film!
O_o *pause*
uhhh… @RyanDukefan. I think you posted this on
the wrong group. What does Roy have to do with Shabazz Muhammad. We’re all responding to his journal update and recruitment update.
Shabazz seems to be looking at Duke, Kentucky, UCLA, and Kansas for NCAA ball but he’s never really played for Roy Williams. I’m not even sure UNC Chapel Hill is on his radar anymore because of the other recruits they’ve been chasing.
@ Diables Bleus Your an idiot dude. Bazz was low on UNC at this time because of how bad we were doing. We aren’t on his radar? LOL. We are in better position than you are. Your godly PG Kyrie came back and you still got smacked by a one man team! If Dook gets Daniels they will have 6 wings for 2012 not including Bazz. No way he goes to Dook. UNC or UK bound.
LoL. you sound mad. typical response from a UNC has-been and hater. I was actually trying to make sense of RyanDukefan’s comments because wherever Shabazz goes I doubt his stock has gone down.
Shabazz has stated on multiple locations that he would consider playing NCAA basketball with fellow 2012 wing player Alex Murphy. None of us can predict how each of these high school players are going to grow. Just because a player is a wing as a sophomore/junior in high school does not mean that they’ll play that position in college.
I have to say that I am impressed with Roy Williams on the coaching job he’s done with UNC-Chapel Hill this year even with the high attrition rate. Still, I doubt UNC is high on Bazz’s radar. Henson are already committed to returning next year. With Paige and Tokoto, your Class of 2012 is starting to round out.
Duke has Quinn Cook, Austin Rivers, Alex Murphy, Marshall Plumlee, etc. Even if Austin Rivers, Seth Curry, and Plumlee brothers enter NBA draft next year, I think Shabazz Muhammad would consider playing on a team with Josh Hairston, Quinn Cook, Alex Murphy, Ryan Kelly, and DeAndre Daniels.
Shabazz Muhammad has a lot of choices dude. Try to open your mind a little cuz it’s really the Muhammad families’ decision.
You think Seth Curry is entering the draft next year? What are you smoking dude? Curry stays along with Dawkins, Daniels, Sulaimon, and Murphy. If Rivers stays, that is 6. Never said anything about him going to a certain place, although I would love him in Carolina Blue. Our 2012 class is starting to round out? Dude, UNC and Dook both have A LOT of work to do in 2012 class. UNC still has Bazz, Goodwin, Parker, Calhoun, Robert Carter, and Rosco Allen to look at. Dook has a lot too. There is lots left for UNC in 2012.
can you not read unc aint even on his top 3 damn ur dumb
yeah I wasn’t even going to answer ChapelThrill cuz it sounded like he didn’t even read Shabazz’ updated entries. I agree that there still is a high probability that Bazz ends up going to Duke especially with Alex Murphy already commited and signed.
Thanks to scott for restating what Bazz has been saying. @scott How do you feel about Rodney Purvis decommiting from Louisville?
guys give it a rest hes going 2 duke so all you unc fans need 2 stop asking him y aint we on your top 3? and andrew i must of missed that whole 5 years of unc dominating cuz yall one 1 national tittle so i guess thats dominating i aint even a duke fan but hes goin there
bazz to duke makes no sense. bazz is a 1done. why go cross country to spend one year in a basically different culture. this is not rivers or irving staying on the east coast.
bazz will stay out west and spend his ONE college year without the hassle of adjusting to the east.
