2011 NBA Draft

[shoutingncu]

Maryland's Jordan Williams, but no agent.

UCLA takes a hit, too, but at least they'll have LDII to keep their spirits up.

[pfrduke]

Further to this list:

Ashton Gibbs of Pitt
Darius Morris of Michigan
Nicola Vucevic of USC
Tobias Harris of Tennessee

Vucevic have an agent; the others are just testing the waters (and, in my opinion, all likely to return).

Searched and didn't see a thread about this, unless you count the Kyrie and Mason threads:

I'd be a bit skeptical about this link -- it's to a message board post on a notably unreliable draft website.

Barnes may stay, but I'll need something more reliable than this to believe it.

As for draft news, nbadraft.net is at the bottom of the totem pole. Draft Express is a little bit better ... ESPN's draft section is slightly better still.

PS Just to follow up ... the site also has a link to a post on the Bleacher Report, which cites a tweet by a guy I've never heard of. If true (and anything's possible), this is a VERY strange way for the news to leak. So far, no news from a legitmate news source or even a semi-legitimate UNC source.

Jeff Borzello of CBS Sports says Barnes still "gathering information" as of late yesterday.

Harrison Barnes tells me he's still "gathering information" about the NBA draft, and isn't leaning either way right now.

Gosh, it's almost like Barnes is telling everyone what they want to hear about his upcoming big decision.

Lol. I hear his mom is secretly a Cleveland Cavaliers fan...

And David Stern has been advised to have a Skype video connection?

The Decision, Part II?

I heard he was consulting the BronBron about announcement procedures.

The link says that with Barnes returning, someone who didn't think he would go top 5 now would. Buy Ole Roy promised Barnes he wouldn't go until 5-11, right?

Good info. Thanks. I don't follow the NBA much so your replies and others since yours are quite helpful.

Based on what? All these third hand reports of his staying are nothing more than internet gossip that flies around this time of year.

I think he's keeping things close to the vest.

Just to update -- absolutely no press conference Tuesday. Barnes told the Daily Tar Heel today that he's still gathering info. Henson said that he'll have a decision by Saturday:

from what I have heard/read. Two of the guys asked for more information from Roy and they are supposed to meet with him today to discuss things further. I imagine that we will hear something within the week. I believe all three will return.

As they should. UNC-Ch is a terrific school and to miss out on the entire experience, it would take more than just NBA riches. These guys are terrific young men and will do nothing but benefit from more time in the classroom, and on the court.

^ Hhmm.

Is it still April 1st?

I guess that's when we'll get the skinny on him.
