    Barnes

    All of these articles are presuming that UNC/Duke lead simply on the basis of the second to none red carpet attention HB is getting. The opinions are not coming from HB. Who wouldn't be impressed with MJ and NCAA championship ring ceremonies. HB did not sign this Fall because he likes the...

    In-State talent ?

    Re Artino; 6'10" and largely rail thin is a long way from Hamilton. Will is not now, or likely ever, going to be a banger or shot blocking, rebounding juggernaut in the paint. He can step out to ~ 18 ft pretty good for his size and has a nice touch, but is that what we need? Will's game is...

    Ames High/Iowa State should ink a deal

    The AHS game is not inked yet and there is talk that it might fall thru as a result of some detail tied to the Waukeegan team. Hope they can get it under contract. It would be great fun for the AHS team and supporters.

    Small school basketball players

    Against Ames High 2 weeks ago, Barnes did play, in the Hoover summer league, some kid from Ankeny Christian torched Ames for 40+. I can only imagine this is the kid that is being referred to here. Not big, but just kept backing up to shoot.

    Doug McD. named to All-Tournament team

    Better yet, who has more potential? Zach and Creek are very good HS basketball players. Who is going to be a better collegian? My prediction Doug.

    D. McDermott rated a three star by Scout

    MB won the tournament. Three MB players selected All Tournament. Doug McDermott named MVP. Dykstra and young Marcus Paige also on all tourney. Kind of impressive for a "role player." I am a huge Dougie fan.

    D. McDermott rated a three star by Scout

    There was much more to Doug not starting last year at AHS. He didn't start the year starting because he wasn't quite ready. Then, coming off the bench he provided and instant offensive spark, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. He is not a role player. I watched Martin Bros play...

    Peter Jok

    So who will have more influence on young Mr. Jok. His Roosevelt HS coach who is a native Iowan and ISU alum and former player...or his AAU coach who is an ISU alum and former player? Who would we "want" to have more influence if he is to be the next HB?

    AAU

    Yes, but. The Spring AAU tournaments that we are talking about are not Sat/Sun affairs and are a short distance away from a very few players. They usually are 3-4 day events and kids miss school to play and travel. There can be no question that Spring AAU tournaments take away from any focus...

    Just got back from Ames BB Game

    Ames v Dowling: 3 yr Sr starter Jesse Pritchard did not play due to illness and the other AHS guards couldn't throw the ball in the ocean that night.

    Just got back from Ames BB Game

    Boo will have options. While he is very good at basketball he is very very good at soccer. He does already have soccer offers somewhere but I am not sure where. He plays on an elite team out of DSM. Weber too will have some D1 offers but not sure how high. Good shooter, great defender but...
