The No. 1 basketball recruit in the country announced his college commitment last night – by way of his haircut.

Nerlens Noel, of Everett, Massachusetts, shaved ‘UK’ in the back of his dome which I was told indicated he’s heading to Kentucky (I initially thought it was a special message to his fans and stood for ‘U Kind.’).

Anyway, this was an original announcement and one I think should catch on. Unfortunately, No. 1 soccer recruits Bryane Heaberlin and Raul Mendiola could not be reached for comment.
