It was thought he was a top 10 pick and was going to declare for the NBA Draft.

Here is an excerpt from ESPN.com:

“As a team, we’re preparing for a special season,” Barnes said in a news release. “My offseason plans are to diligently work on honing my basketball skills in all areas with one team-goal in mind — to bring the 2012 national championship home to UNC.”

Barnes decision is significant for Kentucky fans because many people think the Tarheels will move up to the preseason #1 team for next season.

Also, DraftExpress now has moved Terrence Jones up into being picked in the top 10 in the NBA Draft. They also have Brandon Knight and Enes Kanter in the Top 10 as well.

I am sure Kentucky fans hope Jones and Knight take Barnes decision into mind and think about returning too.
