Barnes or bust for UNC?
Posted Nov 6, 2009
North Carolina is now solely focused on recruiting Harrison Barnes. They only lose two seniors of note next year - Marcus Ginyard and Deon Thompson, and Ed Davis is a lock for entering the draft. The frontcourt has enough depth to absorb these losses. Plus, North Carolina has a commitment from 2011 elite post player James McAdoo. If the Tar Heels fail to land Barnes, Roy Williams might very well offer 2011 elite small forward Adonis Thomas.
