That’s his fan account, not actually Noel.
This is a huge pet peeve of mine: random Twitter people using the names of star athletes in their Twitter handle. That same poster had a bunch of people fooled a couple weeks ago too when the Tyrese Hunter news broke. People thought they were actually replying to Jalen when it's just some random 13 year old probably.

Interesting that he had a camp this morning in Ames for youth…wonder if he didn’t get the turn out or support. Maybe he is upset and didn’t get enough money raised so he said I am out. I am sure that I am overthinking but weird that two hours after he posts transferring.
These kids thinking a short term pay day over staying in Ames (which provides a reasonable path to the pros)… like I don’t get it

I was feeling pretty confident about the back end compared to last year. That's too bad.

This is the only significant loss so far. The other guys I had no expectations for anyway. It’s a concerning trend though.

I know he postponed it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up with a low turnout. Honestly, who would know who Craig McDonald is outside of the most diehard Iowa State fans?

Didn’t Iowa State help him with some weird eligibility thing? Not saying he owes ISU anything but bailing in May when you are a returning starter is a bit odd but then again, it’s free agency for these kids.

Picking off these kids with a few buck and side benefits is like taking candy from a baby. My guess is the majority of these kids that transfer for money fail to pan out. Don’t want these types in our system anyways so fuc* em.
