North Carolina's big men are passing on the NBA for another run at a national championship. The Tar Heels will have to wait a little longer to learn the plans of freshman Harrison Barnes. The school announced junior 7-footer Tyler Zeller(Above) and sophomore John Henson(Below) will return to Chapel Hill next season, but said Barnes "is still reviewing information" as he considers whether to enter the draft. Zeller and Henson were second-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference picks as the Tar Heels won the league regular-season championship and reached an NCAA regional final. In a statement, coach Roy Williams said he spoke to about 10 NBA teams to investigate where the two players might go in the draft. But he said their decisions were "less about the NBA and more about what they wanted to do right now and the experiences they are enjoying" in college. Zeller averaged a team-high 15.7 points to go with 7.2 rebounds, but he upped those numbers to nearly 26 points and nine rebounds on 59 percent shooting during the NCAA tournament. He also won this year's Skip Prosser Award as the ACC's top scholar-athlete in men's basketball and was named a first-team Academic All-America by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

I actually think Barnes should stay, as much as I want him on the Raps. Another year in college would be great for him.
