Whatâs up? I just got done with practice. Itâs preseason, so weâre about to start conditioning, but so far itâs just been running plays. Itâs been good to get back into it. I took about two weeks off at the end of the summer, which I needed. I played a lot of basketball, and sometimes youâve gotta get your rest. I had a couple little injuries, nothing major, but I need to take care of my body. I did a lot of icing, doing some yoga, little things to try to prevent injuries. Now Iâm pretty close to 100 percent, and Iâm getting excited to get back at it.
Our team is looking good. Weâve got a really big starting lineup, and we can get out and run. The goal is simple: not lose a game, be national champions. I think we can do it. Weâve got a tough schedule, some ESPN games, the City of Palms tournament, so itâll be a challenge. Iâm looking forward to it.
Of course everybody wants to know about recruiting. Iâve got seven schools on my list, the same seven schools Iâve had for a while: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Memphis, Texas A&M, UCLA and UNLV. And even though you might hear different, Iâm still interested in every school on my list. There are a lot of people who donât really know anything about it saying Iâm a UCLA lock or a Kentucky lock, but like I said, they donât know. I just try to ignore it.
It is fun knowing that people want you at their school, though. Being in Vegas, weâve had people coming to our practices, like 100 or 200 people sometimes, wearing UNLV jerseys with my number 15 on them. They actually have âMuhammadâ on the back. I donât know what theyâd do with those jerseys if I donât go there. Honestly though, Iâm just happy to have that kind of support.
Anyway, right now, Iâm just talking to a lot of coaches, listening to what they have to say and trying to go from there. Iâm a humble guy. Iâm just trying to get all the information I can, and then whenever I think the time is right Iâll make my decision. I know if I take my time, itâs going to help me in the long run.
Of course Iâm paying attention to the lockout. Itâs crazy, but at least I did get to some of those games over at Impact Basketball, the âlockout league.â That was fun. I got to watch Josh Selby, John Wall, DeMar DeRozan, a bunch of guys. I didnât get to work out with them, but just watching those guys and trying to learn from them was worth it. Iâm trying to learn from everybody.
Thatâs it for now. Iâll let you know whatâs new next month.

IMO he is a UK or UCLA lock. I like our chances though.

I don't like UK's chances.. There's just something fishy about this guy. I'm not buying into that "he is a lock at UK" either. Heck he just said it.

He was apparently tweeting throughout BBM about how awesome it was!

Shabazz will be a Wildcat!!

Any word on Poythress? Some were saying he would have commited before BBM.

Shabazz said about this UK team, they're going to be a problem. Hopefully he's part of that problem next year!
