Lon Kruger's move to Oklahoma stuns Shabazz Muhammad
Posted Apr 3, 2011
Shabazz Muhammad called it a "major surprise." Since word spread Friday that coach Lon Kruger had left UNLV for Oklahoma, Rebels recruiting targets throughout Southern Nevada have been trying to digest the move. "It was a major surprise seeing Coach Kruger leave," Muhammad said. "I was considering UNLV." Muhammad called his recruiting process "open," but said he is considering offers from such heavyweights as Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, UCLA, Kansas and Washington.
