Fresh off his trip to Lexington for the Ole Miss game this weekend, Nerlens Noel posted an update on his blog for ESPN, here is an excerpt.
[I][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]This past weekend I went to Kentucky. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]I got there Friday morning and went to their practice for about an hour. I really liked the way they practice there. I just like the momentum they have in their practice. The practices are short but they get everything done that they need to get in. It’s really productive. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]I went to the game the next day and the fans most definitely lived up to the hype. They were just real live and they chanted my name about eight times. It was so loud in there. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]One of the fans came up to me and said “SEC girls love flattops!” I thought that was pretty funny. I really liked watching them play and sitting behind the bench I got a real feel about how they do it. coach [/FONT][/COLOR][B]John Calipari[/B][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana] really gets on them when they make mistakes so they won’t make them again. I was impressed. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]I got a chance to talk to coach Cal a lot during my visit. He talked a lot about how I could come in there and work hard and succeed. He talked a lot about playing at the NBA level and things like that. I thought we had a really good talk. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]I did notice that coach Cal’s and coach Boeheim’s recruiting styles are a lot different. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[/I][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana][I]Coach Boeheim is way more laid back. He lets you know that he wants you, but he doesn’t press it too much. Coach Cal tells you everything about how he’ll use you, where you’ll fit in, everything. [/I]
Noel went on to talk about how he has begun to get more calls from other schools, namely Duke, and how he had to tell them he is just not interested.
Noel also left readers with a bit of advise about his recruitment…
[/FONT][/COLOR][I][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]…remember if you don’t read it from me here on my blog, in my own words, then it’s not true.
