I'm not so sure this is the same deal as w Hall & Richie.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but if Noah wanted back tomorrow — I think he might be told he'd have to wait until we see how things play out w Berke & Maxim — & possibly Demin & Jax as well. And surely others not known about, too.
I know many on that board here see Noah as an ideal upper D1 4, but he really is NOT that. Ideally he's a mismatch wing. KY's recruiting seems to plainly confirm that, imo. We're just not in nearly as bad a need for a wing right now — who I'm pretty sure is seen as a backup option to Richie. Right now we're in the hunt for wings/off guards superior to Richie.
