There hasn’t been a lot of talk about Nerlens Noel’s Kentucky jersey that he held up on the ESPNU Signing Day Special.
It was #5.
Now, I might be reading too much into this, but I thought Kentucky already had a #5?
Jarrod Polson adorns the #5.
This brings up a couple of questions:
Number 1: Was this just a random jersey that Noel was given for the show?
Two: Is Jarrod giving up his number for Nerlens?
Three: Did Nerlens promise to be in a WBA video for exchange for the number?
I am not one to start conspiracy theories…well, actually I guess I do sometimes, but could this also mean Jarrod Polson might decide to transfer somewhere where he will get to play next season?
I think it is doubtful, but what else can Polson accomplish at the University of Kentucky?
With the recruiting classes that Calipari brings in every season, no one in their right mind should think Polson will ever get a chance to play any type of minutes consistently, unless it is within the last minute of a blowout.
He has won a national championship, he has entertained the entire BBN(with his buddy Kyle Wiltjer), and no matter where he goes 15 year old girls will scream with excitement every time he comes into the game.
Wow, all of this from Nerlens Noel holding up a #5 jersey you may ask.
Just think if the #5 was shaved into the top of his fade.
