Kysportaradio changing his tune
@kysportsradio My predictions as of now, Shabazz to UCLA and Noel to UK. Won't believe Nerlens doesn't pick the Cats till he says it himself

One thing we do know is that despite all the rumors bouncing around, Syracuse hasn't been the subject of any of the recent ones. Like a lot of other people on here, I am hoping for some good news tomorrow.

His prediction vs what he is hearing is two totally diff things. Also he is kindof in the same boat that we are in believing that it will be UK but there is still a chance he picks us.

Smoke is seriously building for us. I almost wish it would stop and then start building again closer to the announcement. 24 hours is simply too much time for things to change.

I'll be more convinced when I see the tea leaves blowing through the smoke.
For someone that's not on the twitterverse and doesn't want to spend the next two hours scouring the interwebs (please, don't make me do it), is there any other basis to this "smoke"?

Nerlens noel is a guy we can hopefully one day compare to ewing, mourning, motumbo, green, hibbert, monroe... and hopefully not a guy we can compare to Latavius Williams, Roscoe Smith, or TJ Warren (by the way, what is the message board record?) Stupid question but even if hes awesome and leaves after one year can you really compare him to Ewing and Mourning. Those guys stayed in college and built a legacy...

If he wins us a title, then yes I think so. Otherwise, I agree that it would be very tough for him to be on the same level as those guys. Edit: This is solely assuming he's one and done. If he was here two years, he could still be an extremely big piece of Hoya history, just as Iverson is.

You kknow I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see Nerlens Noel in a Hoya uniform tomorrow night.

Now on the other hand if he comes, maybe Pollard does too and then is the catalyst for years to come. Either way if he stays one year or more it cant be a bad thing. I wish these guys stayed ya know..

Everyone needs to prepare for NN to end up at Kentucky. Focus needs to shift to Pollard. We have a very real shot at landing him.

Who the heck is Joel Francisco? Apparently, he thinks we're getting Upshaw and Noel. I can't imagine that that's even remotely possible.

Won't count my chickens before they hatch, but.....can't help but think that landing Noel could be a springboard for more "one and done's" in coming years. Could we be on the verge of a nice recruiting run? Cart before the horse, I know.

The last three days have been crazy. Two days ago all of the rumors for GTown. Yesterday was all UK. And apparently all of the rumors are back to GTown. I said a few weeks back that i believed that Nerlens was more important to GTown than Kyle would have been. I will be sick if he doesn't come to the Hilltop. I hate that no one outside of DC seems to realize that we will also be a contender with Nerlens on board. It is as if the only reason for him to come to GTown is to improve his post moves. No man..............GTown will win a Championship next year if Nerlens signs.....................Hoya Saxa....................Nerlens Noel fits best at GTown!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I'm beginning to find annoying from the so-called experts is the idea that Noel picking Georgetown is 'odd'. His final list isn't Kentucky, Syracuse, and American.
It's bleeping Georgetown.

If Noel picks us, I'm printing out every page of this thread and reading every comment out loud from a bullhorn in Red Square

Also, this thread gained like seven pages since I checked last night, so I'm not checking back in until tomorrow.
