In two days' time, Kentucky fans will know whether the Wildcats have reeled in the nation's two biggest recruiting catches.
Las Vegas wing player Shabazz Muhammad, the nation's No. 1 player in the 2012 class; and New Hampshire center Nerlens Noel, a recently reclassified senior who will challenge Muhammad for No. 1 upon receiving a 2012 ranking; will announce their college decisions at 7:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday on ESPNU.
