I think SU is the odds on favorite.  I have tried to place myself in his shoes and determine where I would want to go.  The freinds, location, coaching, all are in SUs favor.  Plus having to replace A Davis at UK has to be a real problem.  If he puts up 10 and 8 with a great defensive presence, he has done well here and is a failure at UK.
 
My concerns are two fold:
1.  I don't think he is as good as hyped.  Expectations have gotten out of hand.  I think his O is raw.  He can do decently but people may think he has underperformed.  He may be more like Rak than  A Davis.  I think the 10 and 8 above are his ceiling for a frosh year - I think that is what he is putting up in high school.
2.  I don't know how DC2 and Noel will work.  They both look like centers to me.  Then you have Rak in the mix, where his best position seems to be in the middle also.  What a logjam in the middle.  One of them needs to put in minutes at the PF but right now I don't think it suits any of them.  The best predicted front line for next year would have CJ, Dirty, and only one of those three.  Can/will 2 McDs bigs be able to ride the bench?
 
No doubt Noel would be a great get.  Part of it is just the publicity from attracting such a sought after talent.  But there will be things for JB to work out.  And there can be a small down side as a perception to not be able to develop NBA talent.
 
For me, I'm still riding the high of getting DC2.  I thought that was huge.  His AO role is well defined in JBs system.  I know he's considered yesterdays news though.
