Prep highlights: Noel was no slouch at Tilton, but his defining moments came as a member of storied Boston-based club BABC. He put together a dominating run at the EYBL Finals in July of 2011, approaching triple-double numbers in nearly every outing as BABC cruised to the Nike crown. A special performance at the 2012 Spalding Hoophall Classic against Mitch McGary and Brewster Academy helped him vault to No. 1 prospect status by most scouts and analysts.
