We asked students if they knew who UCLA’s newest basketball commit Shabazz Muhammad is.

Sean Stevens
First-year, music history
“He’s the savior of UCLA’s basketball program that just committed. He’ll be taking us back to the promised land.”

Gabrielle Deocares
First-year, undeclared life sciences
“He sounds like he could be in politics. I have no idea who he is.”

Emiliano Bolado
Fourth-year, English
“He’s the top recruit in the country from Las Vegas … coming in next year along with the No. 3 recruit whose name I don’t remember. I’m hoping we can get the UCLA program back to its historic roots.”

Brian Trinh
First-year, communications studies
“Isn’t he the No. 2 high school basketball prospect coming in?”

Kelly Kaine
Third-year, civil engineering
“I don’t know where he came from. I just know he’s really good. He’s a transfer from some other school.”
