Duke asks Harrison Barnes to transfer to Oak Hill?
Posted Mar 8, 2009
Shirley Barnes, the mother of Ames High standout basketball player Harrison Barnes, says there is no truth to radio reports that her son plans to transfer to Oak Hill Academy for his senior year.
Oak Hill is a prep school known for its perpetual status as one of the top high school basketball programs in the country. A sports talk show on Des Moines radio station KXNO reported earlier this week that Harrison would transfer to Oak Hill at the request of the Duke basketball coaching staff.
