2012 draft is going to be one of the deepest ever. Not too late to declare Thomas.....

What is it about the communities of UNC and Duke that the kids just love? It's like they know they are in paradise and they don't want to leave. Basketball Mecca. I would like to visit and take in the history.

Roy Williams is an amazing leader. Harrison will learn a lot about life to prepare himself for the league from Roy. I can see why he chose this.

Shirley Barnes, Harrison's mother, was adamant to me that no decision has been made yet. Said decision likely next week on his future.

Let's get you ready for the league AND life Harrison.
Whenever you are ready, it is your decision.

UNC creates NBA winners. The longer there the better.

Im curious what you type into google to get those images.

It's all about the passionate, yet classy fans with the UNC/Dukes of the world. Fans that truly respect, appreciate, and understand the game of basketball. Really special. What a great honor for that kid to get to play one more season at UNC before they happily send him to the NBA.

You'll see the Tar Heel fans cheer him on at the next level. He'll always be in the front of the bus in their hearts, instead of under it.

I wish I would have appreciated Roy more when he was so close. What an amazing coach/person he is. He has championships, coaches at an elite bball school now, and he really seams to respect and care for his players.

Roy = college basketball. amazing what he can do with kids who before they came to UNC wouldn't even have been considered for the euro leagues. now, just a year after getting to UNC, barnes is projected to be a lottery pick. amazing.

FWIW, Barnes' mother was adamant about him staying in school throughout the season. Although, after that tourney performance she'd be a fool to not have him jump to the League now.

As for Roy, amazing how the ladies down the road didn't appreciate what they had. Such a beacon of integrity, maybe why he had to leave Lawrence...

Barnes needs UNC....hell, who doesn't.

He is probably the finest, living, basketball coach in the world.

OK_Cat · « **Reply #22 on:** April 15, 2011, 09:49:08 AM »

the cool thing is that, for a blueblood, UNC hasn't put any pressure on young Mr. Barnes about his decision. They're giving him his space to decide, and not hounding him about it.

Again, basketball mecca.

Folks, you don't understand college basketball until you've had drinks at Top Of The Hill in Chapel Hill.
