Barnes 6th per rivals!!!!

In my opinion that does nothing but hurt us.
Harrison Barnes (to himself) "Wow, I'm 6th in the country, that means I should probably go to a team that frequents the NCAA Tournament if I want a shot at the big leagues."
Not necessarily correct thinking but what else do you expect.

I'd expect the confidence of a player such as his ability to see the chance to stamp his mark all-time on the program he's grown up loving. If he likes the players there now, he'll know the truth he can bring us back to the elite eight and beyond.
He has to think that with him and Dykstra and other guys (possibly Brackins) that there is no reason we are not at least a sweet 16 team. P
I don't think it means a thing if he is 1st or 100th. There is no need for anyone to feel the sky is falling since Harrison is receiving so much attention. He will deal with it and make the best decision that works for him - not for all of the analysts out there.
There is still a good chance that he comes to ISU, and I'll believe that until he signs a LOI stating otherwise.
Puts more pressure on McD to win 20 this year, if he wants to have any momentum. A third year of 15 or less would be a very bad sign. Time is of the essence for the future. The five year plans are yesterday's news. Coaches must win sooner than in the past. Beating fluffs will not provide much momentum. You must be respectable in the conference. Then too, you could be like a Fresno State and come out of 33-27 record and be national champions. The most losses by an NCAA champion. The first NCAA championship in any sport for Fresno. The biggest underdog to ever win an NCAA team event. Better than North carolina state. Panked #79. We want to emulatre that model.
There is a big difference between 1 and 100 maybe not in terms of signing Harrison, but he is on the verge of being a 1 and done player.
Sure it does. He will be much more well known and much more watched. NBA scouts will have seen him play before he ever gets to college and there will be agents in his ear a year after college. He could average 12 points a game as a freshman and be a one and done. There are a ton of players out there like it
We know your thinking now. I wonder what Harrison is thinking. . . . Since you and he are separate entities, what we do know is that how you process the world ain't identical to the way that Harrison deals with it.
You're projecting, aren't you? You're worried/fearful that Harrison will shun ISU's offer and go elsewhere. To minimize your disappointment with this possible outcome, you convince yourself that you cannot allow yourself to expect a good ending.
Me, I have no idea what Harrison is thinking. Therefore, I am clueless about what decision he will make eventually (perhaps he hasn't a clue, either, at this point).
Hey, this pop psychology stuff is fun!
7. Psychology To externalize an attribute (an emotion or motive, for example) unconsciously to someone or something else in order to avoid anxiety.
Barnes is a perfect example of why it's bad to have so much pressure and hype on one recruit. If he goes elsewhere, that's his choice and he has to do what's best for him. If he comes to ISU, people need to realize he probably isn't a 4 year guy, unless he understands the importance of getting his degree.
A program isn't built on one player and it doesn't succeed because of one player, thus a program won't die if it doesn't get that one player.

to all the debbie downers on the sight that fear that a high ranking by rivals is going to make us less likely of landing HB, i have some bad news. the cat was out of the bag on this one a couple of years ago. i'm pretty sure everyone has known how good this kid is for quite some time, and everybody and there dog is/has been going after his services. if he should bless us with his prescence for 1 year and then decide to go to the NBA, i say godspeed young man. if he goes somewhere else and does the same, i will again wish him well.
Maybe he comes to ISU for 3-4 years? Maybe he graduates with a degree? Maybe he is one and done?
If he comes to ISU for one year and goes pro, that's fine. I'd like for him to stay and help our team grow, but if he is as good as people say he is, one year will give him a lot of exposure (and us too, which will help recruiting).

There better not be any pressure on McD this year, because there is no way we are getting to 20 wins.
