outa his Senior-year self. (Which was admittedly a solid turnaround from his Jr year. Even still, his ball-handling & his lateral & open-court quickness were on full display his Jr season — for anyone who cared to notice. As well as was his shooting POTENTIAL.)

Noah was a solid, last-minute, under-the-radar pickup by Pope (who had to snatch him from the jaws of a luckily gracious Bonnies staff).

Even still, Noah is a FAR cry from Jax Robinson in terms of an impact player (& CBers, don't come at me w all your efficiency stats saying otherwise; efficiency generally doesn't tell the same story as impact; at most, it gives a very incomplete story that way. Coaches will always put a couple questions before looking at any stat: What CAN so-n-so do on a court? And, What CAN'T so-n-so do on a court? And there's a whole lot more Cans going in Jax's favor vs Noah — than there are Can'ts).
