08:27 AM ET 04.05 | Monday's national title may have complicated things for highly recruited prospect Nerlens Noel. [Noel] said the Kentucky Wildcats' NCAA Tournament title makes him "think about Kentucky more," but the young star blogged that he still has not decided where he will play basketball next season. Noel, a 7-foot senior center at the Tilton (N.H.) School, is the top-rated player in the Class of 2012, according to ESPN and Scout. He has narrowed his college choices to Syracuse, Kentucky and Georgetown, and set April 11 as the date he will announce his choice. Though the date is just a week away, Noel says he has yet to make a final decision. "I've heard the rumors about me making a decision already. That's not true," ... he wrote in his blog.

Yes they can. The Wildrats have had the highest concentration of freshman talent in the nation the last three years. Why not again?

Yep, that's why I said why not. They'll always have roster spots for the top incoming freshmen why not get all the best kids if they have the room.

Coach Cal and his revolving door. It'll be a shame when he leaves for another school/NBA right before the NCAA decides to investigate Kentucky. Wins and NC vacated, post season bans, etc.

He's been lucky so far... Pretty soon NCAA will close in on him, and find some sort of infraction. He's thus far dodged bullets (Harrelson) but soon enough... soon enough my friends....

This kid will probably go to kentucky where he will only have to stay seven months, take virtually no classes, get some under the table money then off to the NBA. Sounds like a sweet deal.

Gotta disagree with you on that one.
Do you really think that Calipari feels any loyalty whatsoever to kentucky?
He gave THEM what they wanted.
He could feel perfectly comfortable leaving there having won a championship.
As a coach, deep down inside he knows that he failed, and failed miserably, on a higher level
in his profession.
I had to laugh yesterday when somebody posted a joke about Bobby Petrino and the devil being to afraid to tell him something because Petrino is such a tough guy. Yeah, right. Tell the Atlanta Falcons locker room how tough a guy Petrino is. No matter how many championships Saban, Petrino or Spurrier may win, and however a good life they may now live, they go to bed every night knowing that they failed on the biggest stage in their profession. And with the ego that a top college coach has to have, this would have to bother them.
