We can all be happy about where we are today, but if we had Noel right now, instead of being one of four teams in the final four, we'd be the Kentucky of last year type favorites of the Final Four. Knowing the make up of the team, someone had asked the who from the 87 team would you take, but another question would be who from the rest of the country would you take, and I think I might say Nerlens Noel. Not only for the D, but he is a really good passer and pick setter which would be fantastic in our offense. I think he would have been a great fit.
If you think about it though, coming off of last year, I guarantee you all of the Kentucky freshmen of this year thought they were good enough to be the same as the year before Kentucky. Same with next year's Kentucky.
