Anthony "Cat" Barber stepped foot on NC State’s campus as a member of Mark Gottfried’s second full recruiting class in the Fall of 2013. Throughout his recruitment and into his college career there was an apropos comparison to controversial NBA legend Allen Iverson. Barber and Iverson grew up in the same area, are the two highest scoring players in their district and both happen to be undersized, score first point guards. Oh and they both happen to be African-American males with multiple tattoos and braids who played at predominantly white institutions in two of the primier basketball conferences in the nation.
