We have one of the best freshman point guards

Nobles in two games is one of my favorite players in the past few years. He's hard nosed and a complete steal in the recruiting game. After seeing him in the Louiville game and how he handled that intense pressure for all 40mins really showed what his capabilites are. He's only going to get better!

Who do you think you are brining any postive takes into Jump Ball right now? 

I agree with you 100%. When players start coming back I bet we will see even more improvement with the whole team.

Haha!! Yeah this postive nature might hurt someone. We're just needing some depth. I'm not saying that we should have NC on our minds b/c thats just a good way to be let down.

I like Nobles.  He is more of a distributor than most of the point guards we have had in the recent past.  If he learns how to penetrate and either finish or kick it out he will be a very good player.  I also like his defense.

gonna be great to have him 3 more years after this.

I like Nobles and Farmer a lot.

I don't like the idea of Welsh and Fortson hanging around to screw with their heads.

+1 there! I'm hoping fortson gets his head on straight b/c we could use him but only if he does a complete 180 in attitude. Welsh, not so much. He just needs to graduate.

Shhh don't tell the people that were bashing when he signed

Some of us have been positive regarding him for awhile.

Glad he's doing well so far.  Hope he keeps it up.

Nobles looks good to me too, a real solid player.  I also like what I've seen of Farmer and Powell and Bryant as well in ex. play.

To bad they do not have a coaching staff that puts them in the best position to win on both offense and defense.  Or puts them in any position actually.

I was nervous about him before the Louisville game. But with 7 assists to 3 turnovers and 4 steals in only his second college game under the lights against a Petino coached team for 40 minutes, kid is looking legit.

I thought he would be major contributor to this year just didn't know he was going to have to play so much. We kind of threw him to the wolves but he responded very well. I am excited to see how he progresses throughout the year especially when he doesn't have to play 40 minutes a game.

Fortson can stay gone for all I care.

After two games I'm more comfortable with Nobles handling the ball against a press than Fortson.    Nobles is steady, doesn't rush and dribbles with his head up.     

IMO Farmer is the wing we lacked last year.  He is skilled and athletic.   Powell is gonna be great.
