[I]Muhammad’s headed to…
[/I][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]“Duke. I really believe that Shabazz is gonna join me next year because he’s a competitor and wants to win. Coach K is the ultimate competitor and does great with guards like Shabazz. I believe we can do a lot of damage right away.” [/FONT][/COLOR]

[I]Muhammad’s headed to…
[/I][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]“UCLA. It’s the perfect fit with it being close to home and then he’ll have a great guard like[/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=verdana][COLOR=#608fd6]Kyle Anderson [/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]there with him.” [/FONT][/COLOR]
