Harrison Barnes Going Back to UNC: Kyrie Irving's Decision Soon to Follow?

Per Marty Tirrell’s Twitter page, Harrison Barnes is going to comeback for his sophomore season at UNC. 

That does this mean?

It means that if John Henson and Tyler Zeller follow Barnes’ lead, UNC is going to be really, really good.  We all witnessed how UNC grew this year into a title contender after starting the season in disappointing fashion.  If given another off season to mesh and improve while adding in a nice recruiting class, you can see some people predicting a title in Chapel Hill next year.  As a Duke fan, I am not too happy with the idea of having to defend Barnes again next year, but I am optimistic that this could lead to Kyrie Irving making the same decision.

Does Kyrie Irving follow his buddy Barnes’ lead?

I predicted in my Kyrie Irving post that; whoever decides to or not to go pro first between Irving and Barnes the other would do the same.  I now hope more than ever that this prediction comes true.  I think all college basketball fans would hop on board this “hope wagon” I am driving.  Everyone loves an underdog, but in order to have an underdog, you need top dogs and if Irving copies Barnes there will definitely be two big top dogs next year in Duke and UNC.  Stay close to a computer and monitor the twitter feeds of you favorite college basketball tweeter because now that news is coming out about Barnes, Irving’s announcement is sure to be coming soon.
