Tar Heels need Harrison Barnes to be great right now
Posted Nov 30, 2010
There's no doubt Harrison Barnes is going to be a great player - whether it's a few days, a few weeks or a few months away. The Tar Heels don't have long to wait. Going into a difficult stretch of games that will begin tonight at No.20 Illinois, they need Barnes to be great now. "They need that superstar kid to step up and be another Michael Jordan," College of Charleston coach Bobby Cremins said.
