Nerlens Noel narrows list to three, eliminates UNC
Posted Mar 18, 2012
Nerlens Noel — the top basketball recruit in the Class of 2012 — narrowed his list of possible college designations to three schools. "(I've) narrowed down to UK, Syracuse and Georgetown," Noel told Scout.com on Sunday. Scouts say Noel, a 6-11 center from Everette, Mass., is the best shot blocker of a generation, and every top-flight college coach has been recruiting him. With his Sunday announcement, that means he has dropped North Carolina and UConn from his list.
