Nerlens Noel already seems focused and ready to work hard to get back to where he was before last night’s ACL injury.

John Calipari spoke to him this morning and he believes he will come back better than ever.

I met with Nerlens earlier today. The meeting was really positive, and I loved his attitude.

The way he is already dealing with this injury lets me know that he is going to come back stronger than ever.

Also, CBS Sports believes his is still a top 5 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft:

It’s sad news for a player who played hard on virtually every possession — and had become the heart and soul of this Kentucky team. Multiple NBA sources told CBSSports.com that the injury could drop Noel a couple of spots in the draft, but that he’ll likely fall no lower than fifth — and could still be selected with the No. 1 pick.

“Look at what Adrian Peterson did this year,” one NBA executive said. “ACL’s are so common these days.”
