“Multiple sources” say Shabazz and Noel will land at UK

CBS Sports Insider Jon Rothstein reported this morning that there is a good chance that the Cats land BOTH 2012 superstars Shabazz Muhammad and Nerlens Noel:

“Multiple sources say there is more than a legitimate chance of Kentucky landing the top two prospects in the Class of 2012 in 6-foot-10 shot blocker Nerlens Noel and lefty wing Shabazz Muhammad.”

“Still, several sources still insist that Muhammad has wanted to play for Calipari all along and has always planned to be in college for just one season. With Kentucky’s recent success, it seems more than possible that both he and Noel could wind up playing their home games at Rupp Arena next season, where every night feels like it’s the first round of the NBA Playoffs.”

Rothstein lists a possible 2012 lineup that includes Noel and Muhammad, and let’s just say, it’s pretty:

PG Ryan Harrow (transfer from NC State)
SG Archie Goodwin (Top 15 National Recruit)
SF Shabzz Muhammad
PF Kyle Wiltjer
C Nerlens Noel

And that’s not taking in to account some players (MKG? Teague?) who may return to school after this season.

I love getting used to news like this.

If Cal stays, this could be an unheard of string of successes.

Read what Archie had to say in this article.

Haven't followed recruiting very closely but today, UNC lost three starters along with Zeller and they're going to have to reload because there's no much left on the bench. Not concerned with competition but just saying.

Just read a post that he is seriously leaning towards UK. Wow! What did you mean if "Cal Stays." I did not know he was going anywhere.
