Lucas: Tyler Zeller Creates Buzz

Posted Sep 30, 2009
Tyler Zeller's offseason had everyone talking. Or, more correctly, it had everyone tweeting. The Tar Heel big man was a regular in the summer pickup games attended by a collection of Carolina alums. After several of those games, Zeller's performance drew raves via Sean May's Twitter feed. It used to be that it took months for offseason feedback to trickle out to fans; now, it reaches them before the players get to the parking lot. (Tar Heel Blue)
