Greatest former UNC athlete by state (Iowa): Harrison Barnes
Posted May 17, 2019
The moment Harrison Barnes announced he was going to play basketball at North Carolina was dramatic. Barnes chose the Tar Heels over Duke in 2009 on Skype, something many people had never heard of at the time. He was well known before arriving in Chapel Hill and remained so during his two college seasons and beyond as a solid NBA player.
