This is what Noel has to think about.  Does he want to go somewhere and be remembered for who HE is and what HE does, or does he want to go somewhere and be remembered for who HE wasn't?

It's a no-win for him to go to UK in terms of a legacy, even a one-year legacy.  If they don't win the title, he will be forever remembered as a failure and will NEVER be truly accepted by their fickle fan base.  Then when Cal leaves for the NBA again, he won't have a "home" to go back to.  SU fans will embrace him either way, and he'll always have a place here.  If he wants 'family', there is no other choice.

Now, if he doesn't care about how he is remembered or dissected in his one year of college, and all he cares about is getting paid a year from now, then he'll be ok at UK.

Somehow I think he wants to be far more than a poor-man's Anthony Davis.  I hope he wants to be Nerlens Noel.  He'll never be that at UK, certainly not in one year.

We'll see who he wants to be on Wednesday.
