Nerlens Noel Open Gym Q&A
Posted Sep 20, 2011
Below is the full transcript of our extensive Q and A with 6-11 Nerlens Noel, the nation's No. 1 center in the Rivals.com center rankings for 2013. THI: UNC's coaches Roy Williams and Steve Robinson at your Open Gym. How have they been recruiting you and showing interest in you? Noel: "They've been recruiting me pretty hard, but not as much me. They respect my coach's wishes and let him take calls. But all my coaches have been reporting back that they're really interested in me. And North Carolina is a great school and I'm looking forward to taking a visit down there soon."
