Tyler Zeller finds comfort in Tar Heels
Posted Nov 6, 2007
Tyler Zeller, a 7-foot, 220-pound center, told North Carolina coach Roy Williams of his oral commitment to the Tar Heels on Monday morning. Williams no doubt was appreciative. "For the most part, I felt more comfortable with North Carolina. It was the coaches, the players, the whole atmosphere." Lorri Zeller, Tyler's mother, said the Tar Heels made quite an impression when the family made an unofficial visit to Chapel Hill last May.
