Duke, UNC await Barnes' choice
Posted Nov 13, 2009
There's a lot riding on the decision of an unusually disciplined high school senior today. Harrison Barnes, a 6-foot-6 wing who's rated the top basketball player in his class, will announce his college choice at 4 p.m. EST today in the gym at Ames High in Iowa. ESPNU will televise the announcement live. Barnes, whose secrecy has amazed recruiting analysts, will sign a letter of intent that could have a profound effect on the balance of power between Triangle superpowers Duke and North Carolina.
