Shabazz Muhammad is ineligible for UCLA's preseason trip to China as the NCAA investigates the possibility of improper benefits that occurred during his recruitment.

Financial advisor Benjamin Lincoln paid for two of Muhammad's unofficial visits, according to sources. Ken Kavanagh helped fund Muahammad's AAU team.

Muhammad is the second ranked member of the 2012 freshman class.

UCLA will play three games in China.

Mangok Mathiang has signed as a late 2012 recruit for Louisville.

Mathiang is a 6-foot-10 center from IMG Academies.

Mathiang averaged 12 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks for IMG’s postgrad team and also considered offers from Kansas State, Georgia, Central Michigan, Auburn and Mississippi State.
