Nerlens Noel Won’t Reclassify to 2012
Posted Jan 24, 2012
After considering his options, Nerlens Noel has decided to remain in the Class of 2013 instead of 2012. “It was a possibility but I’ve been coming to the decision that I’ll be staying 2013,” Noel told Harrison Sanford of FiveStarBasketball.com. “I’m just staying to get stronger. I tried to stay really focused on working hard academically, in the weight room and on the court and just leaving that recruiting stuff for when I got free time."
