Dick Vitale recaps City of Palms Tournament
Posted Dec 22, 2011
Shabazz Muhammad had 42 points in a loss to Prestonwood Christian of Texas, which features junior Julius Randle. My friends, you will be hearing a lot about Randle, a high school junior, in the future. Junior Nerlens Noel, a shot-blocker extraordinaire, also stood out. He is one of the best I have seen in all of my years of covering basketball. He is a natural talent and if Randle is among the best juniors in the rankings, Noel is right up there too. There is no doubt Randle and Noel will be major impact players when they jump from the high school ranks to the collegiate game.
