On Tuesday, Han was about as dominant as I’ve ever seen him in a Georgetown Prep uniform, totaling three goals and six assists, which included a flurry of three helpers in the final four minutes of the half. For whatever reason, Loyola seemed perfectly content not getting on his hands behind the cage, and the Princeton commit absolutely picked them apart. An explosive athlete who is excellent in space (which is why he’s historically been more of an above-the-cage dodger), Han creates offense at will regardless of where he’s operating. Facing one of the better defenders in the state, he tossed out dimes on a rope, finding cutters with feeds over the top of the cage or on the crease for dunks. As a scorer, he blew up a pick then curled around to score from 10 yards, converted on EMO from 15 yards, and then added another in the second half right off the face-off. In the past, I’ve wanted to see more production and consistency from Han during the spring, and if these last few days served as any indication, he’s in store for a stellar senior season.

Highlighted in the preseason as a sophomore to watch in the IAC, Han racked up 26 goals to go with 10 helpers in his first year as a starter for the Little Hoyas, stepping up following the graduation of Nate Kabiri and Colin Burns. While he did a lot of things well, I can’t help but feel like he’s due for a much bigger season as a junior now that some of the growing pains are out of the way. On the summer circuit, Han dazzled and continued to show off his explosive feet and wrists, hammering shots from range and beating his man cleanly off the dodge while mostly operating above the cage.

“He’s just so explosive and was dodging past everyone this summer,” said a top assistant. “He may not be a true QB and is more of a wing operator, but his ability to dodge and shoot is as good as it gets.”

Han is another one who could be destined for the Ivy League, but if there’s another program to keep an eye on, it’s Michigan, where his older brother would be a senior when Noah is a freshman.
