Harrison Barnes was considered by most as the number one recruit in college basketball. He’s a 6-foot-8 SG/SF hybrid who is being compared to Luol Deng and is already projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NBA draft.


Today, Barnes announced that he had chosen UNC over UCLA, Duke, Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa State. The news press came at a pep rally at his school, Ames (Iowa) High. Last season, Barnes averaged 19.7 points and 8.8 rebounds and made 43% of his three-point shots.
