Sidiki Johnson has been suspended indefinitely by Arizona for a violation of team policy.

Johnson has played in three of Arizona's five games.

Shabazz Muhammad has been surprised that coaches attempting to recruit him have mispronounced his name.

“I absolutely can’t stand when people in general pronounce my name wrong,” said Muhammad. “But when coaches do it, it’s really surprising honestly. Throughout my recruitment it’s happened a lot, but a school that just keeps on doing it, they’re pretty much off the list.” 

Muhammad, who is the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2012, is considering UCLA, Kentucky, Kansas, TexasA&M, Arizona and UNLV.

“I’m used to it because people mispronounce my name all the time,” said Muhammad, a senior swingman at Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas). “I understand because of the spelling of it so I’ll let it slide if it’s once or twice, but I’ll politely correct them if it goes past that. But coaches recruiting me, I’d think they would get it right. Seems like you’d want to get that right.” 

Kentucky and Kansas have mispronounced his first name, with Shabazz being pronounced Shuh-BOZZ.

“Coach (Bill) Self said it wrong when I went there at Kansas, and I think he realized it pretty quick and changed it to the right pronunciation,” Muhammad said. “Then one of the assistants at Kentucky said it wrong on a visit and Coach (John) Calipari said it the right way real quick. Then the assistant caught on after that.”

Brandon Ashley has scored 30 points in each of his first two games for Findlay Prep.

Sean Miller sees Ashley played small forward for Arizona with Grant Jerrett at power forward and Kaleb Tarczewski at center.

“Brandon Ashley is someone we’ve recruited almost since the very day we got here as a staff. He’s at Findlay Prep for his senior year. Watching Nick Johnson and how ready he is for college, I think Brandon is going to be equally prepared — living away from home, playing for a great coach like Mike Peck. Coupling his experiences in the summer with the Oakland Soldiers with Findlay Prep, he’s playing against the best players in the country. I really believe in him as a kid. He’s a winner.

“He could play a number of positions at Arizona. Small forward is one of them. If you think about his size, he’ll remind you of some of the old Arizona teams with guys like Richard Jefferson at the position. He could play the 4 as well.

“It’s up to us to put him in the right position. The combinations that Brandon can be on the court with are really numerous.”

Freshman point guard Josiah Turner was heled out of Arizona's game on Sunday against Ball State.

Turner is widely considered to be the best incoming freshman of the Pac-12.

Turner struggled in his first two games of the season.

Shabazz Muhammad, the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2012, continues to put off his college decision. Unlike many other recruits, Muhammad doesn't need to sign early because he can choose any school in the country at any time.

"I think that's a really big advantage for me, to be able to find the style of play that fits me and sit down with my family to talk about which aspects of my game will fit into the programs I like.

"Watching these college games is really going to be an important thing for me."

Muhammad said he took official visits to Texas A&M in September and Kentucky in October.

Muhammad's meeting with John Calipari stands out.

"I think it's probably because it was my last official visit," he said, "but Coach Cal's personality is great. He pushes his players in practice. That's the thing I'm looking for. I'm trying to get better and get to the next level."

He plans to take his remaining official visits to Arizona, which is set to land the No. 1-rated group of early signees, Duke and Kansas. Muhammad also continues to consider UCLA and hometown UNLV, coached by the brother of his high school coach, Dave Rice.

With Brandon Ashley, Kaleb Tarczewski, Grant Jerrett and Gabe York, Arizona currently has the best recruiting class for 2012, according to CBS Sports.

Ashley and Tarczewski are both top-10 recruits, while Jerrett and York are comfortably in the top-40.

North Carolina State follows at No. 2, with Rodney Purvis, T.J. Warren and Tyler Lewis.

North Carolina is currently ranked No. 3, even though they do not currently have any five-star prospects.

Rounding out the top-five are Indiana and Providence.

Big name prospects such as Shabazz Muhammad and Gary Harris remain without a commitment and will surely influence the final rankings.

Michigan, Texas, Kentucky, Syracuse and UCLA comprise the remainder of the top-10.

Baylor, Pitt, Maryland, Virginia, Memphis, Villanova, Michigan State, Wake Forest, Iowa and Houston are ranked 11th through 20th.

Colorado, Purdue, Florida, Texas A&M and Stanford round out the top-25.

According to a survey of more than 100 major Division 1 coaches, John Calipari would be the number one choice if they had pick a head coach to sign a prospect.

Calipari is followed by Arizona's Sean Miller, North Carolina's Roy Williams, Rick Barnes of Texas and Florida's Billy Donovan.

Calipari has signed highly touted prospects such as John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, Derrick Rose and Brandon Knight.

Kaleb Tarczewski has committed to Arizona.

Tarczewski is rated by ESPN as the sixth best recruit of the 2012 class.

Tarczewski also strongly considered Kansas, while Kentucky and North Carolina were on the next level.

“I had great programs and great coaches recruiting me,” Tarczewski told CBS Sports’ Jeff Goodman. “It just felt right at Arizona. I fell in love with everything — from the current players to the staff to Brandon Ashley, Grant Jerrett and Gabe York.”
