Built Ford Tough Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Nerlens Noel, the top prospects in the Class of 2012, has eliminated Providence and Florida from his list of schools, according to a Scout.com report. In an interview with CuseNation.com, the 6-foot-11 star from The Tilton, N.H., School said he is now just looking at Kentucky, Georgetown, Syracuse, Connecticut and North Carolina. He’ll sign with a college in April. Noel, who visited UK recently, was originally a member of the Class of 2012 but an injury but him in the ’13 class. Noel announced last month that he intended to reclassify and come out this year, enrolling in a school. In the interview with Scout, Noel said he had “no timetable” for a decision. http://blogs.courier-journal.com/jodydemling/2012/02/29/nerlens-noel-nixes-florida-providence/ I know he has visited Syracuse and Kentucky already and plans on visiting UNC and Georgetown soon. I believe UConn will be getting a visit as well. Last I heard, Syracuse and Kentucky are the two favourites for him right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Can cross off UConn and North Carolina as well. Down to Kentucky, Syracuse and Georgetown. 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. He previously had taken unofficial visits to Kentucky and Syracuse and recently visited Georgetown, he told scout.com. Noel established himself as a game-changing center with his play on the high school recruiting circuit last summer. He originally was scheduled to be part of the Class of '13 but announced in early February that he'd graduate from the Tilton School in New Hampshire this spring and thus be ready to begin college a year sooner than expected. Noel is a developing offensive player, but his athleticism and defensive knowledge make him one of the most impressive high school shot-blockers of the past two decades. Scouts say he controls the lane defensively like no high school prospect since at least Alonzo Mourning, as if he is a one-man zone. “I think it’s a real good natural instinct,” Noel told Sporting News last summer. I’ve always tried on defense to be a focal point for my team, just to anchor the defense on any team I play on. I think that could be the most valuable thing in winning a basketball game: playing hard defense.” http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2012-03-18/mega-recruit-nerlens-noel-narrows-list-to-kentucky-syracuse-georgetown-drops-nor#ixzz1pVsUCoWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse The Body Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Oh hell yeah! Heard he is a better shot blocker then AD (Anthony Davis) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
