    I knew that kid was smarter than Shabazz.

  8. tfordstyle Says:

    BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM
    GG next year everyone else.

  9. Ike Says:

    Really great pickup. We could afford to lose Muhammad but we definitely needed Noel. Look to hear a lot of talk about attempting to get Pollard and Jefferson

  10. annoyed Says:

    now all of you should go back to the live blog and see how stupid you look. you are all in your upper 20′s and 30′s. it’s time to grow up. when you thought nerlens would go to g-town you would complain that you didn’t like flat tops. next time try to not be a tool

  11. BroLow Says:

    I hope all of you feel better now that you are all “first”

    From the Uni-brow to the Flat-top!

  12. SuperTroy Says:

    We didn’t need Shabazz, he would’ve just been icing on the cake. We HAD to get NN. Now, if we add a Bennett or a Jefferson? We’re in GREAT shape!!

  13. Hole Says:

  23. J A Brooks Says:

  38. uk mom Says:

  39. kantucky Says:

  40. ClintPaul Says:

    From BROW DOWN to TOP DOWN! Could be fun at on campus parties?

  41. dom Says:

    Shock the world! welcome aboard wildcat!

  42. TitsMcGee Says:

    I was convinced that Nerlens was picking Georgetown when he had the Georgetown snapback with the generic Kentucky and Syracuse hats lol.

  43. BSBCATS Says:

    Nine will be FINE

  44. jimmy dykes Says:

  49. Ackwell foley Says:

    Burn couches for the box 2nite!

  50. Oborolovesksr Says:

    In Cal we Trust!!!

  51. ClintPaul Says:

    We are #1 again….. lets get Amile Jefferson and start working on 2013 with the Harrison twins

  52. J A Brooks Says:

    32) We’re done with Oriakhi now… unless we miss on Bennett. Oriakhi can’t really play the 4 and he wants to get 30 plus minutes a game. He really has trouble defending the 4 and Cal wants a guys that can do that. We got Cauley as a back up center… a great back up center at that.

    we really just wanted Oriakhi because if we didn’t get Noel we would be SUPER thin at C. Now you can almost pencil in Oriakhi to Mizzou

  53. Voice of Reason Says:

    Nerlens No el oh el… #realtalk

  54. Mercer Says:

    i shit my pants

  55. JC Says:

    Number one player in the class again…..yawn
    Number one recruiting class again……yawn

  56. Duuuuuude Says:

    Sooooooooo, assuming we lost 6 players, we got these guys for next year:
    1. Harrow
    2. Goodwin
    3. Poythress
    4. Wiltjer
    5. Noel

    We will be fine!

  57. dickey bennett Says:

    YES!!!!!!!!!!

  58. Give me a Racoon, please. Says:

    Hell yes!

  59. J A Brooks Says:

    51) We want Bennett the most. He can very effectively play the 3 or 4. Amile is a very small 4 but I would still love to have him cause of his Motor. We’re all out after Bennett now and we’ll probably hope to land 1 out of the Pollard/Jefferson mix

  60. Yes! Says:

    The First Noel!!! (At UK)

  61. Dane Brammage Says:

    I love this kid, Nerlens.

    Thought CAL’s Christmas surprise was our first Noel.

    He will Rock!

    I am STOKED!!!!

  62. Zach Says:

    Get hype with me big blue nation!!!!

  63. wildcat44 Says:

    You are correct Mr. Darling, we got the Flat Top Feller. What about it Turley, Fake Barney, etc.? Maybe Matt won”t be so negative tomorrow. I say we ain”t finished.

  64. BlueBallin' Says:

    #9

  65. Mt Washington Mike Says:

    Where is that big mouth prick Richard

  66. badknight Says:

    Nerlens Noel = Nine

  67. Wildcat Will Says:

    So will it be fear the flat top now. I am going to hang up my brow shirt and wait for my flat top shirt. GO BIG BLUE

  68. nkyukfan29 Says:

    Nerlens Noel: #BBN yall ready to get #9 ?!?!

    YEAH!!!

  69. Paratrooper Says:

    this Nerlens kid ain’t a liberal commie, is he?

  70. mocha Says:

    Love it.

  71. Chris from Richmond Says:

    YES!!! I love it when them colored boys do crazy stuff with their hair!!

  72. 13th. Grade Says:

    #42, I was thinking the same thing. Glad we were wrong!

  73. CRAZYCATFAN Says:

    WOOOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BBN IS GONNA LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OOPS!!! ALREADY DO!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  74. ClintPaul Says:

    Do you know how much better Will Cauley will develop having to play Nerlens in practice? Davis and Nerlens have affected us 105%!

  75. Ridge Runner Says:

    Exactly what I wished for!!! No disrespect to Bazz…but I hope y’all know what I mean.

  76. bung Says:

    hood will make us forget bazz…welcome nerlens…

  77. Blue Balls Says:

    TEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEE !!! Suck it G town! Nanny nanny boo boo stick your head in doo doo! Ok im done

  78. Ihatetennessee Says:

    Where you at Richard tell us about louisvilles 3 star recruits

  79. WestWorld Says:

    Flat Top Feller! @turleycurd1

  80. Reality Says:

    Hey RICHARD!!! Louisville Shots Gettin’ Blocked…..By Mr. Flat Top!!!

  81. He Says:

    Noel’s hair is called the box…. Fear the box!!!

  82. Rixter Says:

    If Indiana and Louisville are really our biggest competition next year, this is going to be as easy as Jurken your Peter!

  83. Lisa Mac Says:

    Someone please photoshop Nerlens with a unibrow and Anthony with a flatop.

  84. calstrophycase Says:

    Ill have a #9 please…hold the vacate…Ucle MMMMMBAHAHAHAHA!!

  85. Bulldawg Says:

    Kentucky won the Nerlens Noel contest but Matt has decided to give him to someone else….

  86. Richard Says:

    Who cares about some high school boys? It’s baseball season!

  87. Musehobo Says:

    81) That means sumpin else too

  88. John Ellis Says:

    I’m confused, does Nerlens block shots with this hands or his hair? If Kidd-G comes back, you’ll see that undefeated season. And wasn’t it nice to have a BBall event where that guy with the short erotic attention span wasn’t mentioned?

  89. ClintPaul Says:

    Almost worth watching that 90 minute anal probing called a selection show….. like paint drying. I blame Lebron, 30 minute would have been plenty.

  90. sleepylfd Says:

    NN just tweeted, “BBN–yall ready to go get #9?!?!” it’s going to be another GREAT BASKETBALL season!!!!!!!!!!

  91. TIM Says:

    WELCOME……….. to BBN Nerlens Noel… can’t wait till the opening of opening night in the Rupp.. :)

  92. Musehobo Says:

    Stop being a Richard …Richard

  93. Frankenstein Says:

    See Block City.

  94. Ridge Runner Says:

    Richard….meet da flat top feller on your way out!

  95. Azubuike's Bicep Says:

    86- That’s usually what the fourth place basketball team says.

  96. BossHog Says:

    Welcome to the family Nerlens! Unlike Shabazz, you will soon realize that there is simply nothing else in college basketball that compares to being a Kentucky Wildcat!

  97. The Blue Goose Says:

    Those poor high school kids had a lot of pressure on them and looked a little uncomfortable in front of the camera….but none as uncomfortable as Dave Telep.

  98. CRAZYCATFAN Says:

    GUESS HE SHOCKED THE WORLD!!!!!!

  99. Richard Says:

    I’m here, and I have Swop’s di** in my mouth.

  100. Mt Washington Mike Says:

    can’t wait to see the CAT mascot with the Flat Top

  101. hole Says:

    65 Hes got a mouth full of big prick..

  102. Doug Says:

    Hey Nerlens!!! Nice job on the back of the head. You can put #9 on the sides because it is coming. Jefferson and Bennett next. Teague comes back(hope). WORLD DOMINATION!!!

  103. KingRex Says:

    Nerlens for Nine baby!!!

  104. blitzedanddazed Says:

    BANG BISCUIT GOOD NIGHT

  105. Cat89 Says:

    #13: Love it!!

  106. Chicago84 Says:

    The intelligent guy announces UCLA and the other guy is ‘taking his talents’ with UK shaved into his head.

  107. Bradinmississippi Says:

    Flat Top Feller!!!

  108. Bulldawg Says:

    test

  109. Dane Brammage Says:

    Ke NN Tucky !!!!!!!!!

    K NNine

  110. Steve C. Says:

    Chris Fisher called Shabazz to UCLA and Noel to UK 6 weeks ago. Chris has the best sources of all the UK sites. Good job Chris.

  111. Bluefins Says:

    #65, #78, #80 hahaha Richard is conspicuously absent. Man, it must really suck to be a cardianal fan. All they have to look forward to is the same ol shit, mediocrity.

  112. Rixter Says:

    The ‘intelligent guy’? Didn’t you hear him? He’s going to UCLA?

  113. Dr. Blue Says:

    2011 = Year of the Unibrow

    2012 = Year of the Hi-Top

  114. coco Says:

    everyone unfollow shabazz on twitter!!!

  115. Dane Brammage Says:

    NNCAA

  116. Woo's Gummy Snacks Says:

    thank you nerlins…..you legitimized us in one swift move. i hope you enjoy your time in lexington. you are dearly loved

  117. Gocats Says:

    Can’t stop the top

  118. mdd34 Says:

    I wanted Noel over Shabazz!! I was concerned about the NCAA warnings from a month ago about him. Good luck to Shabazz though, wish him the best, SO LONG AS IT DOESNT GET IN THE WAY OF UK AND NOEL!!!

  119. The insider Says:

    His hair style is called a box or a high top fade…. Not a flat top!

  120. trouljaboy Says:

    My first tweet in forever this morning:

    @NerlensNoel3 18th birthday is tomorrow… Pick UK for me?

    Your welcome.

  121. Richard Says:

    Dang it! We have to wait 7 months!!!! I heard a lot of “I” with Shabazz, I heard a lot of we when they interviewed three of the new UK players! Cal does not get enough credit for the “WE”, that is what won this years championship. Also, it is easier to teach a big man offense than it is to teach him defense, Noel already has the defense down! I still think we are going to get one nice suprise from this years team, one of the guys will be back! Approximately 210 days to wait! I was also impressed with Bennett when they interviewed him, he may come if all of this years team goes! WOW!

  122. cape coral cat Says:

    Welcome to the family!!!!!!!!

  123. Section 133 Says:

    Saw Nerlins at Pazzo’s back on feb.12. People knew who he was, yet largely restrained themselves. Gotta give give these guys some room.

  124. Kentucky Bass Says:

    #9 is as close as Anthony Davis’ eye brows.

  125. CatFanNLville Says:

    MKG just tweeted Nerlens welcome to BBN Ha Ha 9 is fine!!

  126. paducahfan Says:

    Pretty brave kid to come to UK and immediately get compared to Anthony Davis.

  127. Cat89 Says:

    Nerlens, welcome to without a doubt the most exciting place for college basketball on the planet. You are going to learn more, develop more and increase you opportunities more here then you could have possibly imagined. Be smart listen to what coach Cal tells you, trust your teammates and most of all have fun kid. You just made everyone’s day in the BBN!!!

  128. TBone Says:

    @106.

    Demarcus said it best: This isn’t a spelling bee.

  129. TBone Says:

    @114 Show some class man. He made his decision. Time will tell if he was right or not, and likely either way he’ll be fine. Either place was just a layover to his NBA career. Would have loved to have him, but all the same Kentucky isn’t for everybody.

  130. kentuckyrules Says:

    MKG sported a small flat-top in the B&W game in the pre-season :) ….

  131. Briscoe Darling Says:

    I understand that Nerlens suppressed the tsunami that took place in Indonesia today.

  132. Billy Hunter / NBA union Says:

    I’m going to have to order more hats for next year.

  133. Rich Peteeno Says:

    OK, fine. But who was MVP of the Derbylcious classic? Huh?

  134. SweetWm Says:

    HEY !!! don’t forget that we will have Jon Hood next year .

  135. katmandue2you Says:

    I saw Nerlens in Nawlins (La.)…walking down the street…said hello to him as he past by….at the time was walking beside some Buckeye fans…they said, “who was that”…i said “see, that’s the difference between us (BBN) and everyone else….we know who that is…he’s the number one prospect in the nation” and that is likely why he will be at Kentucky next year”.

  136. FEAR THE FADE Says:

    FEAR THE BROW FOR #8

    FEAR THE FADE FOR #9

  137. IndianaHoosierHypeSquad!! Says:

    Aww how cute, the little boi got a 5 dolla cut on his 2 dolla fade. Can’t Wait…..to watch my boi CZ 40 tear.him.up. He gonna be overhyyyyypppped. HypeSquad Out!

  138. Mudcreekmark Says:

    I have said it from the start, Jon Hood will be a factor before he leaves UK. Next year would be a good time to start contributing.

  139. DUKESUCKS Says:

    I think this will seal the deal with Oriakhi. He will be a cat. Any guards left at this point or may be Teague will come bake

  140. noels buddy Says:

    We need Lamb…and we’re set

  141. coldspringmike Says:

    121-was also impressed with the 3 UK guys and Bennett when interviewed. They all seemed like good kids and we will get Bennett, just MO.

  142. DUKESUCKS Says:

    #137 Incase you missed it we got number 8.And took the IU team to the woodshed.

  143. mjblue2 Says:

    @81 You can call it the box, you can call it the high top fade, Turly Curd from Nonesuch is gonna call him that flat top fellar…

  144. HOOSIERS BLOW Says:

    HEY 137….WHY DON’T YOU TAKE YOUR OVER RATED HOOSIERS AND STICK THEM WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE…AND I’LL EVEN HELP YOU IF YOU NEED ANY HELP.

  145. Shamrock11 Says:

    #46 nice old school reference. Bring on Bennet or Oriaki now. Sorry for Shabazz, he’s going to miss out on a title run, and rarely make prime time playing on the left coast. GO CATS!

  146. HOOSIERS BLOW Says:

    HEY HOOSIER HYPE SQUAD…TWO FOUR SIX EIGHT TELL US HOW OUR A$$ TASTES

  147. IndianaHoosierHypeSquad!! Says:

    Ey 146…three five seven nine..wildcat puss’s know how to whine! Y’all a buncha cheaters and can Neva be pure like Waterfords buzza beata! Ya dig?? #hypesquad!

  148. Cameron Says:

    147- You know your team is good when the only thing you can brag about is beating UK in the regular season, while watching them win number 8 this 8pril. Stay hyped, we’ll just keep winning championships. Go Big Blue!

  149. theSkinny81 Says:

    147: …says the guy who’s team just got off sanctions for cheating. Lmao

  150. who?siers Says:

    Watford got it handed to him when it really mattered. Cheaters? The only reason you guys are where you are is because Adidas is funneling through Indiana elite right to you.
    You made a sweet 16. Whoopty doo! and you barely pulled that off. it is so rare for you to beat us that you rush the floor. win something that matters and then come talk trash to a school with 3 straight elite eights, 2 straight final 4s, and reigning national champs.
    P.s. We won the game that mattered…. By 12, and hung triple digits on ya

  151. Laughter Ensues Says:

    So Noel is going to be a threat of breaking Davis’s shot blocking record. Does it count if his flat-top blocks a shot? That seems very likely. Nerlens Noel averages 3 blocks per game, Nerlens Noel’s flat-top averages 1.6 blocks per game. Winner, winner chicken dinner!

  152. mark marion Says:

    matt what is going to be John Hoods status next year?
