Harrison Barnes being drawn by shades of blue
Posted Sep 16, 2009
Harrison Barnes says he can sense the push and pull, blue against blue, building like a rising tide. Barnes is considered the best high school basketball player in the country. At 6 feet 6, the senior has the skills – the sweet perimeter touch, the ability to slash and finish, the rebounding, the hops, ballhawking quickness, and instincts – that have made him something of a legend in his hometown of Ames, Iowa.
