Big Four freshmen ranked

Posted Nov 4, 2008
Tyler Zeller has been a pleasant surprise in Chapel Hill since his arrival on campus over the summer. At 6-foot-11, he has the size to be an inside contributor for the Tar Heels. But what will earn Zeller much of his playing time is his ability to run the floor. Exceptionally quick and agile for his size, the Tar Heels freshman can be a real weapon on the fast break. And that’s a dangerous thought for UNC opponents, given all the other Tar Heels stars they will have to keep their eyes on. (Fayetteville Observer)
