  • Three Stand Out for Shabazz (UPDATED)

    Shabazz Muhammad told reporters in Chicago at the McDonald’s All-American Game that three schools are standing out for him.

    ā€œIā€™m considering five but there are three that [stand out],ā€ Muhammad said, according to Dave Telep of ESPN.com.

    Telep added: “UCLA, Duke and Kentucky (in no order) are above Kansas and UNLV — the others in his top five.”

    Sources say UCLA remains the clubhouse leader for Muhammad, who won the Mickey D’s Slam Dunk contest over Kentucky signee Archie Goodwin.

    Muhammad had initially considered taking his final official to UCLA in early April, but the Nike Hoop Summit conflicts.

    His father said he plans to announce April 11 at the Jordan Brand Classic — not April 10.

    “The 11th in Charlotte,” Ron Holmes told SNY.tv.
