Harrison Barnes just wants to be like Mike
Posted Dec 14, 2009
On Thursday, Harrison Barnes will make his national television debut when his Ames High Little Cyclones play the Waukegan High School Bulldogs live on ESPN. In the fall, Barnes will enroll at the University of North Carolina, Michael Jordan's alma mater. Barnes is, scouts say, the complete package, a rare combination of elite basketball skills, insatiable work ethic and intellect.
