Nerlens Noel and a 4th Straight #1 Class for UK

[MrSplitshot]

While I didn't care for the Lebron-like "Imma take my talents to..." crap...Cal got another #1 recruit and #1 haul.

If its possible, the kid is supposed to be a better shot blocker than Davis was, though less polished offensively. The flat top is interesting. Between Davis and his Brow to Noel and his flat top...


All this time, I thought Nerlens Noel was Ebonics for Christmas on Bourbon Street...lol

I read somewhere that we may see the NCAA looking at Shabeez....

Yeah, something about Adiddas and a shoe deal and some AAU involvement. The kid can ball, but he sounds like trouble.

Yep.....and I'm GLAD Kentucky didn't lose their mind and go after him anyways.

Been saying he has problems for a long time now. Not only the questionable shoe deal and AAU, but he hasn't even been cleared yet.

He's dumber than a box of rocks, and definitely cannot spell his name.

He would fit right in the KY basketball program. LOL

I watched the Nike Hoops Summit a couple nights ago in Portland, OR. Shabaaz broke the scoring record with 35 (was 34 held by some kid named Kanter), but jacked up 27 or 28 shots to get it. It felt like watching Kobe or Iverson where the rest of team was supposed to rebound and feed him the ball. He had some horrendous shot selection also, not to mention zero defensive effort. First thing I thought was there is no way he'll come to UK where he must play D and be unselfish on the offensive end.

Splitshot-I hope that Christmas kid is half the defensive player Davis was this season.

Can you reall blame Shabazz Muhammad for not being able to spell his name?

I hope Cal knows somethin that we don't about somebody coming back, because as it stands, Kentucky has one talented guard on their team, and thats an unexperienced freshman in Archie Goodwin....The rest of his signees are 6'7 or bigger and wont play anything less than the 3...I'm hoping either Teague, Lamb, or MKG come back to play the other guard position, and that still leaves nobody on the bench

I think for the first time since hes been at UK, Cal has recruited for the future this year....The only player I see as a one and done is Noel, and having watched a few of his games he needs some major offensive improvement if he's gonna make the jump....Poythress is the big question mark in this years class, as I think he may be the best player on the team...He's big but seems to have a lot of ball skills...Cauley will be there for awhile and once Nerlens heads to the NBA should be the center of the future for the Cats....Don't be surprised if they pick up another recruit before the signing period is over

Coming from the State that's a National Leader in Incest

Kentucky's Basketball Players have the highest GPA in the SEC. I'm willing to bet All of them have a higher income than you after college.

You seem to forget about last years PG Transfer 5 star Ryan Harrow. 4 Star Jon Hood and Twany Beckham will be backups.

[kyfanatic]

Shabazz Muhammed is more intelligent than any of you are giving him credit for,he was well spoken on the Signing Day Special on ESPNU last night,not his fault his Dad made deals and forced him into UCLA.

Rumor has it one of last years starters is returning,no word on who.Kentucky is still in the hunt for #7 Anthony Bennett,#26 Amile Jefferson, and 5 star Uconn Transfer Alex Oriahki.

[MrSplitshot]

Harrow can ball...we'll get Bennett...and I wouldn't be surprised to see Teague back.

[Netboy Extraordinaire]

If Teague goes he is making a mistake just like Daniel Orton. Neither of them are/were ready for the NBA- No Boys Allowed League. With the last projection I saw, which had Davis #1, MKG #2 and Jones #10, I would think Lamb would be the one to return. Lamb will need to learn to play Point Guard especially if Teague goes. Plus Lamb will need to play it in the NBA because I am not sure he is tall enough to play the 2 guard at the next level. So if Teague stays Lamb goes and vice versa
