The 2012 Class of Boys High School Basketball's #1 post shared by too few. 1989......Kenny ANDERSON Archbishop Malloy HS Jamaica QUEENS NY......1992 Jason KIDD Alameda COUNTY CA St. JOSEPH........1995 Kevin GARNETT Chicago ILL FARRAGUT Academy HS.....2000 Gerald WALLACE Childersburg HS AL........2005 Josh McROBERTS CARMEL IN HS.....and 2011 Anthony DAVIS CHICAGO ILL Perspectives HS........the list of being #1's is a SPECIAL LIST if one can hold it down.

Fast Forward to the DESERT in the Southwest Corner of NEVADA lays SIN CITY......Las Vegas NEVADA. This is where the projected #1 HS BALLER in the US is located and trying to hold that #1 SPOT down.

At 6-5 and 215 EL BEES Shooting Guard Shabazz MUHAMMAD from Vegas BISHOP GORMAN HS is a dazzling Left-Handed Nightmare for opponents. Off the BOUNCE......can get to the rim on anyone.....can finish with the best of them.....takes the elevator to the PENTHOUSE when needed, and has a smooth Stroke from deep. Who is after him?......well when your #1 in the Country one should ask the question.....It has to be tough for the KID to choose.

Don't feel sorry for him completely because he is a LOCK to get to the ASSOCIATION at one point. But the CITY he plays in has a COLLEGE with a whole lot of tradition established in the 80's and early 90's. That College is the University of Nevada at Las Vegas and he will not get out of town without a fight...literally.

The Players that have played at VEGAS of Note:

Ricky SOBERS BULLS
Sidney GREEN BULLS
Stacey AUGMON HAWKS SPIDER MAN
Larry JOHNSON CHARLOTTE HORNETS LJ
Greg ANTHONY KNICKS
the late Armon GILLIAM SUNS the HAMMER
Freddie BANKS
David BUTLER
Reggie THEUS BULLS
Isiah RIDER T'WOLVES aka EASY RIDER
Shawn MARION SUNS the MATRIX
Jarvis BASNIGHT
Anthony JONES
Anderson HUNT the D
Shabazz MUHAMMAD?....would look really good on this list and a JERSEY up there with TARK, LJ, and STACEY
And of course the legend himself the SHARK legendary coach Jerry TARKANIAN

Can BAZZ get that TRAIN rolling again...is he ready to shoulder the WHOLE LOAD or at least most of it to put UNLV BASKETBALL back into the TOP 25 and relevance.

Here is BAZZ's list of SCHOOLS at press time.....DUKE. not Scheduled......ARIZONA....not scheduled...KANSAS...Coach BILL SELF in-HOME VISIT SEP. 14...KENTUCKY.....scheduled for MIDNIGHT MADNESS.....UNLV.....has probably been more than a few times..MEMPHIS......not Scheduled........On everyones list.

So what does a HS Senior do to narrow it down...He has reportedly said he won't sign until the spring probably to watch all the dominoes in front of him fall and then see where he FITS BEST.

I know this if he signs to stay home in VEGAS......the SHARK will be back in the GYM and whoever else is a huge part of the UNLV BASKETBALL PROGRAM. will be right there with him. SHABAZZ could be the FISH THAT SAVED SIN CITY if he wants to be.
