Tar Heel Bred Tar Heel Dead

He’s not gone yet, but most people think that the Kansas game is the last we will see of Harrison Barnes in a Carolina uniform. So, how to sum up his two-year UNC career?
Grantland’s Jay Kaspian King has a good article about Barnes and his “brand”, which might never have become an actual brand. It’s here.

    Wow. Totally destroyed him, but gently so. And Caspian Kang is a Tar Heel fan, so this cuts deep.

    I’m not ready to give up on him (because he’s coming back next year), and even if he goes pro I’ll remember him fondly.

    But there are degrees of fondly. More fondly than Brandan Wright. But less fondly than Danny Green. And much less fondly than Ty Lawson or Tyler Hansbrough. Or even Zeller.

    In fact the worst indictment is that I’ll remember him substantially less fondly than anyone who has a shirt in the rafters.

    Another year? All could be forgiven. The legend could be earned. Do it, Harrison.

    Earn this.
