College BasketballNerlens Noel

Nerlens Noel’s hair had a UK logo to announce his Kentucky decision (Picture)

One barbershop had a scoop on Nerlens Noel’s college decision before nearly everyone else. The prized recruit got the UK logo shaved into his hair to announce his decision to attend Kentucky on Wednesday.

Noel is ranked as one of the top recruits in the country and he picked Kentucky over Syracuse and Georgetown. The 6’10” center from Massachusetts is said to have shot blocking talents similar to Anthony Davis, though I can’t imagine any college freshman being better than him.

With Noel, Kentucky has reloaded and should be a Final Four contender once again. I guess offering your wife to recruits really does work.
