anyone else see that noel tweet?

[HuskyBballFan]

I'm sorry, I know it's a slow time of year. But why are we talking about Nerlens Noel coming to Uconn again?

If you could leave Fishy naked on a mountain in Colorado, you would be my new favorite poster!

I'll give it a try.

The only way Noel "shocks the world" is if he commits to a team not named UK, SU, or Georgetown. So I guess we can eliminate those three schools, or he's not shocking anything.

BTW - If Noels comes to UConn, you'd have to seriously question his decision making.
Guy is a one and done.
It would be a horrible decision to come to UConn and potentially miss out on his one and only tourni.

Would blow me away.

For what it is worth Andre and Nole supposedly are not buddies nor are Omar Calhoun and Dunn. How that plays,if at all in to what is going down, I am not sure.

 

[bleeny72]

I believe his "shock the world" will be him and Shabazz Muhammad committing at the same exact time to KY.

Not so shocking...

 

[CL82]

My usual source, Sam, says that he is going to Delaware but only intends to play volleyball.

 

[MattMang23]

Perhaps the tweet had nothing to do at all with where he's committing?

OH MY GOD NERLENS NOEL IS ________________

There are Pc fans who think they are the shocker in this tweet...kind of funny

The recruiting gurus seem to be completely in the dark in terms of true "insider" information. Kudos to Nerlens for keeping it a secret thus far. Rarely happens, no matter how hard the recruits may try.

 

[MattMang23]

That tweet makes it sound like Scott Boras is steering Noel somewhere

 

[Fishy]

If some of these people who scrape out a living as recruiting 'analysts' took three steps back and saw what their life's work was, I think they'd shoot themselves.

Honestly, can you imagine a big day at the office entailing wondering where an 18-year old kid was going to go to college?

 

[AF34]

pulling a Jennings and going to Europe?

I got your shocker right here.

 

[champs99and04]

The interesting part about this recruitment is that nobody really has any clue where he's going. Nobody would be schoked at any outcome.

Wasn't "shock the world" a UConn line after beating Duke for 99 national championship? Probably a coincidence but still ironic.

Actually it was said just BEFORE the game by Khalid El-Amin to a CBS reporter. That took guts and was before it became almost routine for guys to "promise" or "guarantee" major upsets without justification. Khalid and UConn backed it up!

It does make you wonder if NN was using similar language....by design. Though if so, he must have studied some history, since he was only about 5 years old at the time...lol

 

[HuskyBballFan]

Everyone seems to think it's Georgetown for Noel.

 

[HuskyBballFan]

And UCLA for Shabazz. Kentucky's actually going 0-2 tonight. Who would have thought that was possible?

Khalid said it after the game, he ran up to Nantz and screamed it. You can hear it on the live game video.
