Nerlens Noel’s newest entry into his ESPN Recruiting blog is mostly about Kentucky, especially since he talks about his experience while he was in New Orleans.
He talks at great length about Kentucky and even talks about an interesting UK fan experience.
[I][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]I literally got stopped hundreds of times and took dozens and dozens of pictures. The fans were showing me so much love out there, and I definitely have to say that most of the fans were from Kentucky. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]Now of course that had a lot to do with the fact that they were playing there, but I’m always just shocked at how dedicated Kentucky fans are. One man asked me if I wanted to take his wife home with me, ha ha. I couldn’t believe it. I was like “Nah, I’m good,” but that’s just how insane the fans were down there. Great atmosphere.

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]OK, so by now I assume most of you guys know that I cut my list to Kentucky, Georgetown and Syracuse a few weeks back. I just thought it was time to get it down to the schools that I was really looking at the hardest. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]Kentucky had the big win Monday night and I had a good time watching that game. I was really liking how [/FONT][/COLOR][URL=”http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/56353/anthony-davis”]Anthony Davis[/URL][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana] continued to be effective even without scoring the ball. I know how it feels to not be able to get it going on the offensive end at times and that makes you just want to go even harder defensively. I loved that he got Most Outstanding Player, too. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]Just seeing him have all the success that he’s had this year definitely makes me think a lot about what I could be doing there. That’s really appealing to me. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]His IQ on the court is crazy. I talked to him a lot while I was down there and he told me all about how much better he’d gotten since he got there. He told me that I’d have to be ready when I got there because it was going to be a lot of hard work. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]I’d definitely say it makes me think about Kentucky more, and with them winning with all of those freshmen was very attractive. Just seeing that it doesn’t matter how young you are, you can win a national title. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]I talked to (Kentucky assistant) coach Orlando (Antigua) after they won and he was really happy, of course. He said that all he could think about was me being a part of something like that next season. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]I wouldn’t say that all of that stuff gives Kentucky an advantage though. It’s just something I think about a lot. [/FONT][/COLOR][/I]
