Turned out they were running suicides that day, and wouldn't you know that Shabazz Muhammad was coming in first in every one. Was in great shape, had been in bed early, and was trying hard. This came after the McDonald's practices where he was out-working everyone.<br /><br />If that is the case, then he is exactly what this Howland team needs -- top-down leadership by example. If the #1 recruit and best player is busting his butt, I gotta imagine everyone else will fall in line. They will be fun to watch next season.<br /><br />Also, don't hate on Coach Cal. "Ethical transgressions" -- he sells the Dream baby! Come to Lexington, buy in, and get guaranteed money. Ain't nothing wrong with cashing the check at the next level CDP!EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.com
