Shabazz Muhammad, a 6-foot-6 prospect out of Las Vegas Bishop Gorman High School, is viewed as a savior by many UCLA fans.

"I would love to take on that challenge knowing that they had a really down year this year and just knowing how much responsibility I would have to take to help get more wins for the team and try to win a national championship," said Muhammad, who is also considering Kentucky and Duke. "It's no pressure at all."

Muhammad has toured the UCLA campus multiple times and was impressed by renderings of the $136 million renovation at Pauley Pavilion.

"I looked at the models and it was stunning," Muhammad said. "The arena is really nice. Getting all the weight rooms downstairs, that's really a selling point."
