Shirley Barnes told The Daily Tar Heel that her son has goals that he wants to fulfill.
The North Carolina freshman forward said after losing 76-69 to Kentucky on Sunday in the Elite Eight that he felt just like he did three years ago, when a last-second shot gave Iowa’s Marshalltown the 51-50 win against Barnes-led Ames in the state playoffs when he was a sophomore.
“That hurt for three months,” his mom, Shirley Barnes, said on Tuesday. “And that was the last time he lost. He has goals and I think he wants to fulfill those goals.”
When asked if he had played his final game in a North Carolina uniform, Barnes gave no indication which way he was leaning, only that he was living in the moment that visibly consumed him.
“I’m not thinking about the NBA,” he said.
Shirley Barnes said when the time is right, her son will make his decision.
“Harrison needs to heal from this loss,” she said. “We haven’t really talked about it, honestly. It’s not pressing to us. It’s what it is.”
Duke guard Kyrie Irving is projected as the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft if he decides to leave school early.
This weekend, the 19-year-old Irving will travel home to New Jersey to discuss his options with his family.
But no one should expect a quick answer.
"Right now, we're going to do our due diligence and privately discuss it as a family," Drederick Irving, Kyrie's father, said Wednesday. "It could be a month or it could be a week. It's not going to be quickly."
Irving said after the Arizona game that the decision remained uncertain. On Wednesday, his father echoed those comments, calling this the biggest decision of Kyrie's life.
"Right now," Drederick Irving said, "Kyrie's focus is on being a student and doing well in the classroom."

Yo estuve comentando ayer con Corey y tras ver el partido frente a Wichita y otro más, Bama me parece un equipo sobrevalorado (él me dice que tenía que entrar en el torneo). Lo de ayer a ratos fue infumable, es un equipo bastante limitado. A ver si les veo el partido de semis frente a Colorado.

He estado leyendo y lo ponen como un prospect interesantísimo, con un buen touch cerca del aro y que tiene visión de juego. ¿Algo más interesante?
