Hoophall Classic Players to Watch: Nerlens Noel
Posted Dec 14, 2011
It will certainly not be hard to miss Nerlens Noel at the 2012 Hoophall Classic. He will be the 6-foot-10 center with a high-top fade tossing opponents shots into the third row. Noel, currently the No. 3 recruit in the class of 2013 according to Rivals (No. 2 on ESPNU's Super 60), is considered by many to be the best defensive center in the country. ESPNU's scouts have called him "a one-man zone" due to his incredible length and natural defensive instincts.
