      That would be great! It'd be nice to see the high profile recruits venture out West as the Pac-10 has been down for some years.

      Although, I've never been very impressed with Muhammed when I've watched him. I should say, he's impressive, no doubt, but for a #1 player in his class I expect to see a man amongst boys. His game is refined and has few holes but I don't see that outright physical dominance that I've seen from some of the recent high school greats like John Wall, Tyreke Evans, Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire, Lebron, Carmelo. All of those guys were considered either the top or one of the top 3 guys in their class and when they played they looked like they had no business playing against guys their age.

        What I like about Muhammad is his basketball IQ coupled with his well-rounded and still improving technique ranging from footwork, post moves and the triple threat. Muhammad can be athletic as well but does not always defer to his athleticism to beat his opponents.

        Muhammad uses skills and technique instead. Which is a good thing. If Muhammad can continue to improve his ball handling and overall shooting, he will be a great player.

          Shabazz Muhammad was named co-MVP for the Raymond Lewis team at the Boost Mobile Elite 24 game, sharing the honors with junior Aquille Carr.
          Raymond Lewis lost the contest with Marques Johnson team, 142-132.
          For the winners, co-MVP were named Justin & Kyle Anderson (no relation).

            I read in another article that Rosco and Shabazz are not wanting to play together in college.

                Would you rather have Purvis or Muhammad?

                  I haven't seen Purvis play live but I have seen highlights and a little bit of game tape so I can't give a very informed opinion but I'll give an opinion anyways. I think Muhammed would be the better pro just based off of the height and wingspan difference that is apparent. Purvis appears perhaps a little more explosive and strong off the dribble. So, as college prospects perhaps close to equal but as NBA prospects Muhammed seems to have the edge.

                  What do you think?

                    I'll choose Muhammad at this point if I was a head coach of a school though Rodney Purvis has his great upsides.

                    But I choose Muhammad as the latter has been working hard as of late with his dribbling and foot-work to be a two guard. Muhammad has the skillset and craftiness to be an elite two guard in the future.

                    It is so difficult to find a two guard in the mold of Bryant.

                    While Purvis as I said cannot be ignored as well wherein he alongside others like Andrew Harrison are being molded into Derrick Rose proto-types.

                    So far, I am impressed with Purvis. He can play both the point and the two guard. Purvis has upper body strength coupled with explosive athleticism plus the handles to be a Rose or Westbrook type of guard.

                    What surprised me was Purvis' court vision where the defensive coverage is often left guessing what has transpired. In a recent tournament, at one point, Purvis went full speed into the basket and passed into a wide open shooter. In short, Purvis feigned a strong drive just to pass for a high percentage open shot.

                    Plus, Purvis is exceptional in finishing at the wide open court.

                      Purvis has a natural feel for the game that's scouts like.Purvis primary weakness is that he is a bit in between positions as there are questions whether he can truly handle playing the point guard positon and whether he possesses the size and strength to truly be an elite shooting guard.

                      I'll choose Muhammad at this point if I was a head coach of a school though Rodney Purvis has his great upsides.

                      The thing about Muhammad that you can already project him as a Shooting Guard. Scouts compared him to Kobe because he has the killer instinct that drives superstar swingmen like Kobe Bryant. He needs to Learn to involve his teammates ball tends to stop when it gets in his hands, Not a great creator for teammates

                      Rodney Purvis is a slasher supreme. He is impossible to keep out of the lane at times. He is very strong and a very good athlete. His quickness, strength, size and solid handle allow him to get where ever he wants on the court, whenever he wants. He reminds me of dwayne wade when goes to the hoops.

                        Nice assessment and I cannot disagree.

                        I for one am looking forward to seeing Muhammad play in the college ranks. Plus his basketball IQ is very well noted. I can see him a top three NBA draft pick in the future.

                        On Purvis, I think it is 70% tunnel vision and 30% floor vision. The potential is high as I would like to compare him with Andrew Harrison, who is another good prospect to watch out.

                            Hey CKR, wanted to get your opinion- what does your gut tell you about where Muhammed will go to school next year?

                              I fancy UCLA. That would be great.

                                Muhammad was present in the recent Las Vegas Invitational Tournament where the UNLV rebels upset UNC Tarheels.

                                The No. 1 recruit in the nation, Shabazz Muhammad (Las Vegas/Bishop Gorman) watched hometown UNLV upset No. 1 North Carolina Saturday night in Vegas. He saw it with his own eyes.
