The #1 ranked player in the ESPNU 100, Harrison Barnes, could be making his way to Lawrence in mid-October to visit the University of Kansas. Barnes visited North Carolina on September 4th, where Roy Williams and the rest of the Carolina family celebrated the 100th year of North Carolina basketball. Should Barnes visit Kansas on October 16th, it would be the second of three visits that Barnes has officially announced to date. Barnes will be visiting Duke on the weekend of October 23rd, the weekend following ‘Late Night in the Phog.’
Despite reports that Barnes is visiting Kansas on October 16th, Barnes and his family have yet to officially release any information about where and when official visits will take place. According to Barnes’ mother, Shirley, Harrison should release that information tonight via email to the media.
“We were waiting on one school to confirm their visit, and they confirmed this morning,” Shirley Barnes said via email. “Since we have that final confirmation, look to receive an e-mail update from H (Harrison) tonight,” Barnes added.
The premature reports of Harrison visiting Kansas have been the cause of some disappointment for Shirley Barnes.
“I’m disappointed that the Kansas Rivals site has something out on this as I also informed them this morning that H was firming up his list, but went ahead and printed a story anyway, said Barnes.”
While it is expected that Barnes intends to visit Oklahoma on the weekend of October 2nd and Kansas for ‘Late Night’ on October 16th, it appears that Harrison will announce where and when his remaining official visits will take place tonight.
