'If Washington Square will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to Washington Square"

We're more than a little shaky in our religious interpretations so...

After returning to Las Vegas, Rashad Muhammad tweeted: "Feels good to be home but already missing that Cali weather!"

Whether (weather?) or not that played a role or how much of one, here's a hearty welcome to Mr. Muhammad as multiple sites are reporting that he has cast his collegiate lot via a verbal commitment to Coach Dave Wojcik and San Jose State University:

Ray Brewer

Alex Kline

Five Star Recruits

Hoopniks

To be factual, SJSU has NEVER landed a pair of high school prospects offering such potential in the same class.

Muhammad and Jalen James bought into the vision of becoming the group of guys who will take Spartan basketball to a never-before-experienced level but, more critically, believe Coach Wojcik and his staff are the best ones who can get them prepared for play-for-pay hoops down the road. They would not be signing without the latter conviction.

Yes, it is important to remember the mantra regarding the best thing about freshman is that they become sophomores and that there will be a learning and adjustment curves for both Muhammad and James but the respective levels of what they can become is better than anyone -- other than Coach Wojcik -- could have imagined in any Spartan recruiting class.
