Saying he is “in the early stages of my life journey,” North Carolina freshman Harrison Barnes announced today he wants to continue that journey in college – and not, right now, the NBA.
“I’m honored and blessed for the chance to play in the NBA,’’ the ACC Rookie of the Year said in a prepared statement. “And because of my family, teachers, passion, and work, I have the ultimate dream of one day playing and experiencing a fulfilling career in the NBA.
“Opportunities, both beneficial and life changing, can seem to make the next phase of my journey an easy decision. But I am a student-athlete at the University of North Carolina. I’m here to experience college life, grow as a person, receive a quality education, and be part of the greatest basketball family in college sports.
