Tyler Hansbrough Back in The Bluff
Posted May 14, 2006
His autograph has sold for well over $100 on eBay and he has 1,747 friends on MySpace.com. Yet when he comes home, Tyler Hansbrough is still the goofy, shy kid he's always been. Hansbrough returned to Poplar Bluff this past week to spend time with his family and enjoy the perks Chapel Hill can't offer ---- high school friends, his old bed and mom's home-cooked meals. It also allowed him the opportunity to step away from the frenzy he created by enjoying one of the best freshman seasons in the storied tradition of North Carolina basketball.
