Everyone go on record with noel

Been a Cuse fan all 23 years or my life, the only color I know is Orange. Long time reader, first time poster (of many to come).

Been following the NN action for 3 months solid. Read all the bogus articles and 'expert picks' polls and seen all the tweets. Everyone is saying there is a Georgetown lean but I just can't buy it. Noel is obviously a one and done, and while Gtown is 'big man U' the kid wants to win a title and that is just not realistic with the Hoyas. I undoubtedly hate G-town more than anything in the world. It will be a dark and sad day if he commits there.

Kentucky is no picnic for me either. I hate them just as much as I do gtown. Slime ball paypalcal cheated us out of Davis which I'm still bitter about...and don't get me started on their fans, by far the worst. big blue nation is everything that is wrong with college basketball.

With all that being said, you can tell where I believe Noel will land...

Close to home and momma.
MCW running the point- enough said.
Noel, ROC, DC2, Keita - best big man rotation in the country.
Played Zone in HS - hit the ground running.
30k+ packing the dome shouting his name in flat-top cutouts.
DOES NOT want to be compared to Anthony Davis, and since the bar is so high with a sweep on awards and a national title, anything short of that is a failure to BBN.

That is why I think he will be his own man, not the next anything...but the one and only Nerlens Noel. and he will do it in orange and white. He's gon shock the world and come to cuse.

I will be wearing my flattop cut out tonight in excitement and anticipation of the big announcement.

We think alike here man
 
I'm going with Syracuse. Actually feel pretty confident about it, too.

- Best & longest relationships with coaching staff,
- Dome & love shown by the fans,
- closest to home,
- best practice comp around,
- BFF with MCW (who's parents are also close with NN, and MCW's parents are basketball coaches I believe, so NN should feel comfortable with their opinion of SU),
- the fact that NN seems to be a trendsetter (flat top hair, purple sneakers, ect) which leads me to believe he def does not want to go to Kentucky to follow AD (not to mention the whole Kentucky 1 & done thing is getting a bit "played out" in that everyone expects the top recruits to go their now, IMO)...
- and, of course, NN having experienced UCONN at the Dome, and our best midnight madness ever.

And just to ramp up the good feelings for today, here is what I posted about OE and I meeting NN at midnight madness:

"Yep, I remember. Noel and Goodluck were outside the Dome just standing around, interacting with Cuse fans, when Orangeyes and I came over to meet them. Nice guys, seemed overwhelmed by the evening, but in a good way...almost as if they were still standing around outside because they didn't want the night to end. Took pictures with us...OE, you should post them!

I'm assuming they saw Carmelo make a grand exit that night...police escort out of the Dome with a small motorcade of black SUVs...with a crowd of Cuse fans screaming & cheering as if The Beatles themselves had just passed. I hope that in that moment Noel understood just how much Syracuse supporters love and support our former players & just how much of a "rockstar" Carmelo had become in his one year here. The same feeling I had when President Bill Clinton's motorcade passed by me (and other Syracuse grads) on the morning of May 11th, 2003 (Graduation Day) as I was standing outside of the Dome with cap & gown on, waiting to enter, was pretty similar to the feeling I got hearing the screams and shouts of adulation as SU's own Carmelo Anthony was whisked by us that night. Such a great night to be a Cuse Basketball fan. I will never regret driving up from Buffalo for that non-game event.

Afterwards, I was convinced that, since Noel was in attendence, (got his picture taken with Melo, hung out with the team, met up with Philly rapper Meek Mill, and met alumni such as DC, John Wallace, Flynn, etc) that no matter what would happen afterwards in his recruitment, Syracuse would always be a strong candidate for his commitment. So I have to laugh when a recruiting service fails to list Syracuse as an option for Nerlens...because if, after experiencing something like Syracuse Midnight Madness 2011, possibly a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of Syracuse Basketball past and present, Nerlens Noel still doesn't understand how special this program is, I'm not sure Syracuse ever had a chance then."

I'm picking Kentucky with Georgetown a close 2nd, we need another guard for next year who can penetrate not another defender. Our best teams have always had people who could get in the lane and score. In 1987 Sherm, Stevie,DC, 1996 Sims,Wallace, 2003 Billy,Gerry,Melo, 2010 Scoop,Andy,Kris, 2012 Scoop,Kris,Dion next year only MCW.

It's not like it's a choice between Noel and a G; regardless I believe we'd still have 1 open scholly if Noel came.

Awesome story.

And to think Noel visited GTown in March when the team didn't even play.

I bet JT3 knew NN saw the Dome with 30,000+ and a sold out Rupp and didn't want to be embarrassed by the 3,500 GU fans
 
NN talked to Khem Birch and convinced him to return to Pitt with him
 
Actually, I'm making a late change. Going with the Washington Generals. Shock the world!

Krusty's Accountant: Let me get this straight. You took all the money you made franchising your name and bet it *against* the Harlem Globetrotters?
Krusty the Clown: [miserable] Oh, I thought the Generals were due!
[watches the game on TV]
Krusty the Clown: He's spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it! Take it!
[the Globetrotters score]
Krusty the Clown: That game was fixed! They were using a freakin' ladder, for God's sake!
