Posted Nov 12, 2009
Word of God forward C.J. Leslie, one of the top senior basketball players in the country, said North Carolina has stopped recruiting because the Tar Heels expect to land top prospect Harrison Barnes. Barnes, a 6-foot-6 forward from Ames, Iowa, will make his announcement on Friday at 4 p.m. in the Ames High School gymnasium. He has cut his list to six schools, including Duke and UNC.
