Hey, story out of Las Vegas is that Kyle and Shabazz Mohamad are friends and talking about playing together. Any Lavin love for Shabazz being shown?
There is always that potential they could play together, cr. I'm not discounting any school just yet when it comes to Anderson. Shabazz isn't on the Johnnies radar and doubt he'll be in the foreseen future.
Shabazz played in a tournament game with Harrison, Harkless, and Sampson. Pointer scored 18 pts in a different game for the south. Harrison went off that game for 21 and 6 boards and lookd like the bets player on the floor. Harkless scored 15 and was th east mvp. They both looked better than Shabazz in that game, but that year makes a HUGE difference. I'm sure Shabazz respects the talent we are bringing in. Not sure if that helps or hurts.
I recall focusing on our players that game but Shabazz was unreal from what I saw. I wouldn't go as far as to say any of our guys were better on the floor.
They were talking up Shabazz all game long and I remember watching to see how are guys were compared to the #1 player in 2012 on somes lists and I thought both Harrison looked like the best player in that game and it's criminal that his 21 and 6 couldn't didn't beat Pery Ellis' 14 and 8--which mostly came on putbacks and open dunks. I also thought Harkless looked at least as good as Shabazz if not a little better. Sampson really didn't get the looks.
Shabazz looked very good, don't get me wrong. He's not ranked that high for no reason. My point is that Shabazz has a better understanding of the level of talent we are bringing in than just about any other elite 2012 recruit. He stood side by side with Harrison on the same team when D'angelo went offf. The west was up 20 when Harrison sat and the East, behind Harkless, closed it to within three.
