North Carolina freshman stay hidden ... for now

Posted Nov 7, 2008
For now North Carolina's group of four rising freshmen, Zeller, 6-foot-10 forward Ed Davis, 6-foot-1 point guard Larry Drew and 6-foot-4 guard Justin Watts, are silently finding their place in the Tar Heels' program. But if North Carolina is to live up to its lofty preseason expectations, the quartet's profile should rise considerably. Davis, Drew and Zeller - all three McDonald's All-Americans and top recruits - likely will fill key holes left by attrition. (Burlington Times News)
