Shabazz Muhammad may only be a sophomore in high school, but the Las
Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman product already holds offers from some major
programs.
The five-star prospect credits his strong play throughout the spring and summer to the rise in his recruitment.
“I saw a real big difference after playing with the Dreamvision
team,” Muhammad said. “I got a lot of exposure and it’s been going good
with my recruitment.”
UCLA, Louisville, Wake Forest, UNLV, USC, Texas
and Kansas have all thrown scholarships his way and each school has
been to Las Vegas to watch him workout in September. North Carolina
made the trip too.
“They told my coach that they are probably going to end up
offering,” Muhammad told Scout.com during the Las Vegas Fall Showcase
on Wednesday.
Despite all the early interest, don’t expect Muhammad to make a
commitment in the near future. In fact, he’s planning to wait until his
junior season before he begins getting serious with the process.
“Basically I need to take my visits,” Muhammad said. “I like a lot of
schools and a lot of schools have offered. I’m just going to take my
visits and talk to the coaches.”
“I’m probably going to make it my junior year,” he added. “I want to be
able to talk ot my family and talk to all the coaches and get familiar
with their programs.”
