Nerlens Noel background
 
He is from the Boston area, Everett Mass. His parents, Dorcina & Yonel, are Haitian immigrants who came here in 1990. They worked as cleaning people in a local hospital. He has two brothers, Jim & Rodman and a sister who used to tell their friends that their father was a doctor.
 
Since his parents had to work long hours Nerlens and his family were looked after by many members of the community. They would get them on teams, buy equipment for them, attend their games and make sure they were keeping up with their studies.
 
That being said, Nerlens, on his own, decided to transfer to Tilton, much to the dismay of those people who had helped him along the way. BTW, his parents are now separated, his dad drives a cab in Boston and his mom can no longer work two jobs at the hospital because of a bad back.
 
Noel's big brother Jim, is a senior at BC and Rodman a sophomore at NC St both on football scholarships.
 
In conclusion
 
With that being said I don't think there is any reason Noel would choose SU because of distance. He has been his own man for quite some time now and he's going to pick a school based on what he feels is the right choice for him. If he chooses Syracuse it may well be because of his friendships he has with players on this team. That might be the biggest factor going for us.
