Watch Alex Murphy, Shabazz Muhammad, and Kaleb Tarczewski compete at the Adidas Super 64 in Las Vegas, NV on July 2010.
At this point, getting all 3 of these guys would be a dream class for Duke fans. Make it happen, boys!
Shabazz is #15 in Blue/Orange (Dream Vision). On the opposing squad (New England Playaz), Alex Murphy is #35 and Kaleb Tarczewski is #33.

Shabazz Muhammad and Dream Vision Photos
Lara Lee (twitter.com/livehead16) has been lighting up DukeHoopBlog lately. Here's another of her galleries from the Adidas Super 64 Tournament on July 22nd out in Las Vegas. This one focuses on 2012's Shabazz Muhammad, one of Duke's highest priority recruits for the rising Junior class:

Duke Hoop has spoken with 2012 SG Torian Graham's father, Len Lilly. Torian has a pretty long list of potential suitors at this time. Len named the following schools that were pursuing the Oak Hill Academy and DC Assault stud the hardest:
Boston College, Xavier, NC State, Rutgers, Kansas State, Miami, Oregon, Depaul, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Maryland, VCU, Richmond, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Cincinnatie, and Indiana
As you can see, there are some high major schools interested in the rising Junior and they would all be lucky to get his services. At this time, Boston College, NC State, Xavier, and Kansas State have offered scholarships. He does not have a leader at this time.
Len informed us that Torian's goal is to be recruited by Duke and UNC and if he continues to develop as he already has, we are guessing that goal will become a reality.
Watch him at the NC Pro-Am on Team Navy this Thursday here in Durham as he is one of only a few 2012 players invited to perform in the Summer League composed of mainly pros and college stars.

Shabazz Muhammad and Alex Murphy
These two 2012 wings are very coveted members of any recruiting class by themselves. After the Tournament of Champions Tournament in the Triangle, both received offers from the reigning National Champion Duke Blue Devils. Clearly, when looking at Duke's future, Coach Mike Krzyzewski and staff would love to see the two of them playing together for his squad.
While they both play small forward currently, it's really hard to slap a label on either player right now as they are both so young and versatile. Shabazz (called "Bazz" by his team mates) and his family see him as a Shooting Guard in college and professionally and at 6'5", he is the perfect size for that position on both levels. Alex stands 6'8" at this time, but seeing as his brother stands 6'10" and his Dad stood 6'9", many believe he will reach the same height. Alex is a bit more versatile than Erik who currently plays for the Florida Gators, can handle the ball well, and has a wonderful outside shot for a player his size.
There has been a recent flurry of activity regarding Alex Murphy on Twitter, starting with this @TheRecruitScoop tweet:
The piece he was referring to was a comment from a reader who reported having some talks with Alex's father, Jay Murphy and the talks were reportedly pro-Duke. I can't go into any other details regarding the post, as that information is property of the UCONN Premium Scout.com site. What we know here at Dukehoop is that Alex has always stood by the fact that he will commit when he it feels right. We do know that the visit went very well and that the Murphy family may not be as enthralled with Billy Donovan and staff as they are with Duke. A National Championship will do that.
As to the link between Murphy and Muhammad, the two are good friends, and both respect each other's games.
Alex even got Shabazz on Twitter recently: http://twitter.com/AlexMurphy5/status/16281261662
And calls him "my man": http://twitter.com/AlexMurphy5/status/16283826088
Duke is in very good shape with Murphy and will remain in the hunt for Shabazz as one of his leaders along with unc and Kansas. Landing Murphy would seemingly give them a leg up on the competition, and it may come before the Summer is over...
Here's some more reading on the two:
