was a risky one. Perhaps in the way of an NIL deal he'd be looking at from another school, too.

I've been pretty consistent in thinking Noah's best bet on our roster is to work at winning a spot on the perimeter as a SF. And KY's recruiting so far bears that out. He obviously wants pressure on the rim at both the 4 & 5 spots — & for all Noah's height & quickness, that's just not something he brings much of (which is why I'd rather see him as a big wing — which I think is his position of strength).

Regardless, I can see why KY would prioritize Berke & Maxim over Noah. And if we were to somehow sign both (on top of Keba) — I think the next play would to bring in another guard, if not specifically Jax.

And where would that leave Noah if he decided on returning?
