Harrison Barnes doesn't tweet, but these Tar Heels do

Posted Oct 31, 2011
North Carolina sophomore Harrison Barnes doesn’t have a Twitter account. But teammate Kendall Marshall hasn’t given up the hope that the ACC Preseason Player of the Year will eventually join the 140-character-per-post social networking site. “He said if we make the Final Four, he’ll get it,’’ Marshall said, referring to Twitter. “And ever since he said that, I haven’t said anything else about it.” (ESPN.com)
