I did a quick search but haven't found it, so unless I was dreaming about it (don't know why I would be dreaming of Noah Hanifin), that was who he was as a prospect. I look at his game now, and he has come so far in his defensive game. If you watched him play in Carolina, I thought he was fairly awful looking defensively.
