Let's look at the facts. He averaged 7.2ppg, 2.4apg on lame percentages and made 13 three pointers in 26 games meaning he doesn't even take them so how does he help our 347th ranked 3 point shooting team this year was my point.

The guy averaged 7ppg on a 5th best team in NJ as a 19 year old

you did say "waste of a scholarship" and used "trash" atleast 10 times.. but lets just say you didnt mean it and was in the heat of the moment of your rant..
who cares about stats when you are playing in the elite circuit.. yours teams are stacked and you are being defended by elite competition

look at markus howard (1st team all american in college)-- he averaged 32 a game in a regular high school as a soph, only 14pts as a junior in findley prep (a elite circuit team- which was actually good)- chose to not play as a senior (Reclassed)--did 25pts and 28pts a game these last 2 seasons

noah played with 3 OTHER TOP 50 RECRUITS, including a top 2 pick in the the 2021 draft
ive been frank from the get go, he isnt an elite guy, its obvious why his stock sank, his ability to shoot from being his size isnt good.. but i dont consider it a bad thing.. if he could shoot he wouldnt have gone to ecu.. and shooting is something you can develop.. 2 of the 3 best shooter in UH the last decade werent shooters in high school (damyean dotson and corey davis)..sampson in a presser says his solution to our poor shooting last year isnt to recruit shooter but to improve the ones we have..

whats odd is you used to give me rants about how good brandon suggs was, and once went on a rant against me for saying i thought newton was better than suggs.. you have since changed your mind, but suggs was a bench player in high school.. and suggs and newton played for AOT together, A super stacked aau team (when noah was a sophmore)..in total that team ended up with 4 5stars, and 3 other top 100 4stars...suggs was deep bench and Farrakhan was a starter on that team
