Harrison Barnes

Carolina signed Harrison Barnes today to their 2010 recruiting class.  Barnes is universally regarded as the best high school player in the country, and picked Carolina over Duke, Kansas and UCLA.


The signing is just the latest coup for Roy Williams and the Heels, and cements the perception that Carolina is a cut above every other college basketball program.  


It seems that Roy signs every player he goes after. If you're a potential recruit you'd have to be a moron to resist playing at a school with: 2 championships in 5 years; a record number of final four appearances; a program whose graduates are a who's who of basketball; Michael Jordan's number in the rafters; plays in a great building in front of knowledgeable fans, etc. etc.  


And if a potential recruit turns Carolina down he's obviously dumb and a player who does not deserve to be part of the Dean Smith-Phil Ford-James Worthy-Michael Jordan-Antawn Jamison-Tyler Hansbrough-Roy Williams family.
