John Henson, Tyler Zeller To Stay: UNC Tar Heels No. 1 for 2011-12?

Doug BrodessApr 6, 2011

Roy Williams must be a happy man today!

North Carolina junior Tyler Zeller and sophomore John Henson will return to the Tar Heels next season instead of entering their names in the NBA draft.

Freshman Harrison Barnes has not made his decision yet.

Through a university-released statement, coach Roy Williams says Barnes "is not as far along" in the process.

If Barnes returns, the Tar Heels will have their entire 2010-11 team, for all practical purposes, coming back.

PG Kendall Marshall and Reggie Bullock  were both just freshmen.

Dexter Strickland and Leslie McDonald are sophomores.

Elite-level recruits James McAdoo (6'8" 220 lbs) and P.J. Hairston (6'5" 220 lbs) are on their way.

With Zeller and Henson returning and a top-10 recruiting class in place, will the Tar Heels be the preseason No. 1 ranked team in college basketball?

A lot of that may be determined by not only if Barnes returns or not, but also by what happens with players at Kentucky (Knight, Jones, Lamb).

While John Calipari and Thad Matta both have their own amazing collections of talent, it is possible that Roy Williams may have the best team on paper going into next year and that UNC will be the Pre-season No. 1 team
