But the folks who wrote Carolina off as having any chance with Barnes underestimate the best recruiter in America, who happens to be Roy Williams. Williams stood on the lawn of Barnes' home two days after UNC won the 2009 national championship back in April, waiting for the clock to hit the legal time he could knock on the door and speak with Barnes and his family.
