Noel, Adams Added to 2012 Jordan Brand Classic Rosters

Noel, who has already been compared to NBA Hall of Famer Bill Russell for his innate defensive abilities, recently reclassified to the 2012 Class, thus ending his high school career. Unlike most seniors, he still is undecided as to his college destination.

Adams, originally from New Zealand, is a 7 foot, multi-talented and dominating big man that will be playing for Jaime Dixon at Pitt next season. He played at Notre Dame Prep in Massachusetts this past season and regularly got the best of top American big men Kaleb Tarczewski and Chris Walker at the 2011 Adidas Nations Camp. Case in point his 20 point, 24 rebound effort against Arizona commit Tarczewski.
