CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -North Carolina coach Roy Williams says the Tar Heels recruited prep star Harrison Barnes harder than anyone in his career.
Barnes, a 6-foot-7 swingman, signed with the Tar Heels on Friday, choosing North Carolina from six schools that included national powers Kansas and UCLA along with rival Duke. Williams says the defending national champions spent about 16 months pursuing Barnes, who announced his decision by contacting Williams through an internet video conference call on a nationally televised broadcast.
Barnes joins point guard Kendall Marshall and shooting guard Reggie Bullock in the Tar Heels’ recruiting class for next season, which already ranked among the nation’s best even before Barnes’ announcement.
