This is the very definition of a mass exodus. But of course, this isn’t uncommon in college ball these days. When one guy decides to leave early, usually others do the same on a talented team. Roy Williams has his work cut out for him next year.
North Carolina underclassmen Harrison Barnes, John Henson and Kendall Marshall will enter the NBA draft, the school said Thursday.
The school didn’t state whether the three planned to hire an agent in its release announcing the departures, though it appears the three are in the draft to stay.
“It’s a great day for three youngsters who are taking another step toward their ultimate goal of playing professional basketball,” coach Roy Williams said in a statement. “On a very small stage, it’s a sad day for me because I won’t get to coach them again. All Tar Heel fans will miss them greatly, as well.”
