Recruits boost Triangle basketball powers
Posted May 2, 2010
The Tar Heels lacked a go-to scorer last season and could never count on consistently getting offense from the perimeter. Harrison Barnes, a McDonald's All-American, should provide both. He offers a great mid-range game, can make outside shots and will help take the focus off post players Tyler Zeller and John Henson - allowing UNC a more balanced attack. He will be an early favorite for ACC Rookie of the Year - and the Tar Heels will need him to play like it.
