NBC just showed a news crawl citing an Insidecarolina.com report that all three are going pro. Don't see anything yet on IC (or anywhere else) confirming this. Turn on NBC (Channel 2 on TW Cable) if you want to see the crawl.

Saw a thread on this on IC, but no one over there has any legit information either. I'll believe it when there's an actual source and real information.
Looks like Barnes will announce today. I'm thinking if he's making his statement this quickly, he's probably gone. Hope I'm wrong.

That would be my guess as well. Maybe he does the "declare without an agent" move. But I'd guess he's going.
If he IS going, a good thing one could take (from a UNC perspective) would be the fact that it is not a group press conference bodes better for others staying.
In order to stay in character, HB should call Ol' Roy and tell that he is staying, and then have a press conference announcing that he is declaring and has hired an agent!!!
"And the agent with whom I will sign, indeed the agent that will represent me through establishing my legacy, and The Black Falcon (TM) brand in the NBA, will the be agent I will Skype...now."
Regarding Marshall: exactly right. The kid has been an amazing passer in his 2 years at the Dump. He's on track, if he stays four years, to perhaps break the NCAA record for assists. Bobby Hurley had a legendary college career. Marshall has a long way to go to match Bobby's achievements (and 2 NCAA championships now seems next to impossible, unless Barnes, Henson, and McAdoo all stay), but Marshall has been good enough on the court, at the college level, to talk in those terms with some credibility.
The likable part is huge but when you actually set records like Marshall has, you can make bold statements. If he were to stick around for 4 years he would most likely surpass Hurley's assist record and depending on who he has to pass to over his last two years, he could crush it. I actually like Marchall and love to watch him pass the ball but I will be happy if he decides he would rather pass to Paul Milsap next year!
It also doesn't hurt that he waited to make those comments until after he'd already played well at the college level. And he doesn't make them often like Barnes has. There's nothing wrong with having lofty goals. It's just frowned upon to talk about your legacy and brand when you're not even in college yet.
No, no, no. You guys have got it all wrong. He's not announcing by Skyp'ing his agent. He's going to use FaceTime.
In keeping with the precedent for grand declarations, perhaps The Black Falcon's ultimate decision could be elegantly revealed by contestants one character at a time on the Wheel of Fortune.
Here's the thing you have to understand about The Black Falcon. He's no longer actually living here on Earth with us. He left this planet a while ago.
BTW, is there any truth behind the thread started earlier regarding an NBC report that UNC's big three are all declaring? I noticed that thread has since disappeared. (Apologies if I somehow missed that discussion somewhere else -- at work and don't always have time to peruse every part of the board. Thanks.)
