The best may be yet to come
Posted Sep 14, 2009
Harrison Barnes is the top-ranked player in the current senior class. He's from Iowa. He's highly intelligent, a tremendous talent and seemingly a lock for Duke in most people's minds for a long, long time. 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.
