That tweet was actually a reposting of the tweet by TheRecruitScoop.Quote:

I believe it. Was only a matter of time...
Ok. Thanks. I read it incorrectly then. Looks like Airowe is vouching for the guy as well. Maybe we will get an official confirmation soon as well. The wide net approach continues! I think Coach is on a mission to have one of those incredible runs and shut completely up all the "havent won since" crowd for good.Quote:

Enjoy
Thanks for the videos. I watched DreamVision's practice on Friday. Shabazz dunks like that during practice too. He is ferocious around the rim and it doesn't hurt that he's a lefty either...Quote:

I may be wrong, but I don't think we have even offered Anderson yet.
Elliot was a shooting guard, Shabazz is a small forward.Quote:

Many people I trust compare Shabazz's game to James Harden and that's who he likes to compare his game to, so I'll go with that. :D
Not a good comparison,imo Eliot is alot more athletic. Shabazz is more skilled.
JMO,Shabazz will end up A blue devil. Anyone want to make a bet on this?:)
I will...if Duke offers AndersonQuote:

Us offering Muhammad is not going to have any affect on us offering Anderson, Murphy or any other 3. As Airowe stated below, Muhammad's family wants him to play the 2 in college to get ready for the NBA.
So this will not affect us at all with other wings.
Muhammad is better than Elliot Williams in my opinion, and the poster who said he is not as athletic probably has never seen Muhammad play. The kid is an athletic freak with a very skilled game.
He has indeed been offered by Duke and some are even claiming Duke to be the favorite. I have no idea where he ends up, but Coach K wants this kid bad and if I had to guess, he will probably end up ranked in the top 3-5 overall in his class when it's all said and done (behind Andre Drummond). Very impressive talent IMO.
I disagree. Muhammed has the quicks but average hops. You want to see an athletic freak, look at Bishop Daniels or Justin Anderson.
A lot of players have just average hops in high school basketball, Shabazz is not one of them.Quote:
