Noel is a strong chance of going to Georgetown or Syracuse. Georgetown is known for developing big men like Greg Monroe, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning.

Absolutely not ... it's possible, but definitely not a lock.
In fact, as of now -- just over six hours before we learn -- the consensus is the Shabazz will pick UCLA and Noels will pick Kentucky.
No one knows ... although Evan Daniels apparently just tweeted that he would be "shocked" if Shabazz doesn't commit to UCLA. On the Ketucky boards FWIW, they seem to be pessimisstic about getting Muhammand, but confident of landing Noels.
Well, if you're having to go back 25-30 years to bring up big men (who were coached by a different coaching staff, though it was headed by a guy with the same name), it's probably not a good point of reference. I mean, Coach K has developed Brand, Boozer, Williams, and Laettner.
It's "Noel" not "Noels". Nerlens Noel. Other than that, I agree. Not a lock that both guys go to the same school. Noel is linked to Kentucky, Syracuse, and Georgetown. Muhammad is linked to UCLA, Kentucky, and Duke. I'd guess UCLA gets Muhammad and Kentucky gets Noel. But we'll see.
I read last night on the Kentucky board that Calipari was confirmed to be on the announcement special. Has anyone else heard this? I don't expect bazz to come to Duke, although it would be a great surprise if he did. I wouldn't think Calipari would commit to being on the show if he thought there was a chance that both would reject UK. Anyway, I will take it as a win if both did go anywhere but UK.
Any news on Bazz? Any leaks or info on where he is going? or are we all going to have to wait?
No worries... he's got the Duke letter on top.
Here's the twitter feed if you search for "Shabazz". Worth a quick scroll.

By now, I would think Bazz has contacted all the coaches to let them know his intentions right or not?
I'm all for trying to take a guess at where a recruit might end up, but that's about it. I don't care to watch these kid's decisions on live tv. Amazing that grown men and women are obsessive over a couple 17-18 year old kids decision to play basketball.
Not quite. Shabazz rejected Roy Williams a year ago.
Yeah, cuz it would be so BENEATH HIM for Cal to commit to being on the signing show to exert last-minute pressure on a kid whose decision is going down to the wire... He'd NEVER do something like that!
Recruit: "Uh, hi coach. Good to see you on the set like this... (turning to the TV audience) But I've decided to go somewhere else...(looks down, shuffles feet)"
