On Friday the 13th, Duke fans are hoping for some good luck: Harrison Barnes, a top Duke target and the No. 2 prospect in the Class of 2010 according to Rivals.com, will be announcing where he will be attending college next fall.
The 6-foot-6 forward is considered to have elite talent and—if he decides to leave college after just one season—is projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft by NBADraft.net.
The Blue Devils, who recently secured five-start point guard Kyrie Irving, are finalists for Barnes's services next season. The general consensus is that Barnes will choose between Duke and Tobacco Road rival North Carolina, yet the forward does list Kansas, Oklahoma, UCLA and Iowa State among his possible destinations as well.
Do you think the Blue Devils will get a commitment out of Barnes next week?
