Getting to know Harrison Barnes
Posted May 11, 2009
After having a breakout AAU season this spring and becoming the top player in the nation, Harrison Barnes has become well known throughout recruiting circles. But on Monday, Barnes, a Gopher target and standout 6-foot-7 junior wing at Ames High School, talked to me about a wide range of topics, from how far his game has come to why he is against players leaving college after a year. Barnes patterns his game after Cleveland Cavaliers all-star and NBA most valuable player LeBron James.
