Very cool.

I hadn't heard anything about this and was hoping the team would be able to take advantage of being able to practice and play on an international trip.

Cool side note:

This trip becomes a recruiting tool for 2012 class. Thanks to a recent change in the ncaa rules, incoming freshmen are now allowed to go on the international trip. Austin Rivers played with dook in China this summer.

Find out what countries Shabazz is fond of! LOL

Katin committing would be absolutely huge for the future of this program. He is such a dynamic player.

With the Mendenhall Center construction in full swing and the facility really starting to take shape and approach the completion stage, it's a great time to have recruits on campus.

Katin was very appreciative of all the UNLV fans going to his games and showing support. Class act all the way.

Hope he becomes a Runnin' Rebel!

bballfan,

Sorry, but I've seen enough WITH MY OWN EYES to know that you are crazy or a hater if you're "not sold on Shabazz."

You know who is "sold" on Shabazz? The HEAD COACHES for Duke, UCLA, UofA, Kentucky, Kanasas, etc... Is it ok to assume they know what they're talking about?

"most importantly being that he will only stick around 1 year. That does UNLV very little good and it doesn't raise our stock any that UNLV landed the #1 recruit since he already lives here and is essentially from here."

Very little good??? You couldn't be more wrong with all of that. Utter nonsense. Not going to go into breaking down everything that's outrageously off base with that statement, but suffice to say the people who do this for a living and know what they are talking about are "sold" on Shabazz despite what you and your favorite internet blogger might think.

Overhyped???

He's the #1 overall recruit in the country. And that's according to NATIONAL recruitng services who sure know a lot more than you.

And did you actually just type "like really" in a sentence?

"he can guarantee himself a chance to go to the big dance by going to a big time program like Duke or UCLA"

No he can't.

ucla FAILED TO MAKE the ncaa tournament as recently as the '09-'10 season! bruins were 14-18 that season. They also missed the ncaa tourney in back to back years in 2002 and 2003. They didn't even make the NIT in any of the three LOSING seasons mentioned.

Your ignorance is on display, Sinatra.
