    Many Great Players Go To..

    I apologize then because I must have mis-interpreted your original post in this thread. I thought your ultimate point was that ISU might be a better option than Duke or UNC because nothing at either of those two Universities is guaranteed to him. I was just saying that sometimes the lack...

    Site that did HB's diary predicting Duke

    They met through AAU and playing in camps together. Obviously they've become very close as Kyrie said they call each other all the time and Harrison refers to Kyrie as his little brother. There was a little controversy in Kyrie's recruitment as his decision was leaked a few days before his...

    Many Great Players Go To..

    I wasn't saying that ISU doesn't have other quality players or that Harrison wouldn't develop quite well at ISU (I think he is going to be an awesome NBA player where ever he goes because of his talent and incredible work ethic), just refuting the idea that joining elite talent would be...

    Harrison Barnes to UNC is a done deal

    Duke has 8 wings (SG or SF) in the NBA right now, 7 of whom were lottery picks and all 8 of whom were selected in the first round. Grant Hill was well on his way to becoming one of the best SF's of all-time before his injuries. Shane Battier has finished in the top 5 in defensive player of...

    Many Great Players Go To..

    What you described is often looked at by recruits as a very good thing. The opportunity to play with and compete against elite players every day in practice can help the development of a young prospect. If you're good enough, and Harrison Barnes clearly is, you'll stick out even with elite...

    My Take on Barnes

    Well the first part is because when Duke and UNC are in recruiting battles for elite recruits, the kid almost always has his home town school on the list and yet rarely chooses them (the exceptions have tended to be for schools like Washington, Georgia Tech, and Florida off the top of my head)...

    My Take on Barnes

    Neither does Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, or most elite Universities. That doesn't mean that they don't prepare you better for the world of business than UNC would. FWIW, the general rumblings from the UNC and Duke fan bases at this moment are that Duke is the more likely choice of the two...

    Barnes Decision at 3:10 on Friday

    That's just one of the many WILD rumors that have been coming from Carolina "sources" of late, it's a joke.

    Barnes Decision at 3:10 on Friday

    Zero. If he doesn't go to Duke, it will be mass panic for weeks (especially if he goes to Carolina). If he doesn't go to Carolina, their fans will say that Adonis Thomas (2011 recruit) is better and that they didn't need him, actually they've already begun saying both. The Carolina "inside...

    Barnes Decision at 3:10 on Friday

    From what I've been told, not even the coaches will know Harrison's destination until he announces on Friday. Usually a recruit will call the schools that he isn't going to choose to thank them for recruiting him, but apparently coaches are calling on Thursday to give one last pitch to Harrison...

    HB "unoffical" ISU visit - this morning at Gerdin

    Mike Gilchrist is special, he might be the best wing prospect since Lebron..

    Marty says Harrison to Duke...

    I have 54 posts on the board because I'm not an Iowa State fan. Every single post I've made on the board pertains to Harrison Barnes. And what would motivate me to come on here and lie to you guys? Like I said, I can't say anything definitive because nothing definitive is out there. So...

    Yes, he will be announcing and signing on Friday.

    Marty says Harrison to Duke...

    I am not personally in touch with the Duke staff, no. But I know people who are in touch with the staff and I'm simply passing off what I've been told by them. A lot of Duke fans freaked out about a few rumors that originated from UNC people, but those rumors lacked substance. We'll have...

    Marty says Harrison to Duke...

    I'm not talking about clueless Duke fans who react to every rumor, I'm talking about people in touch with the staff.
