All the SG's they have signed are not as good as HB is. That and there isn't much of a difference in a lot of these teams offense between a 2 and 3.

Iowa. It was down to him or McCabe and they told HB "No thanks" when he said wait until spring.
yep, being "hey, remember that guy..." for a team with a dozen banners in the rafters seems pretty paltry in comparison to a life time of being adored by a dedicated fan base.
You guys are acting like he won't be the best player on Duke's team. Like he will struggle to start from day one or something. Top ranked recruits go to college and are immediately top 20 players or better in college basketball.
Roy Williams would pimp out his daughter to get a player... I am sure he will do about anything to get HB, including letting him play SG.
HAHA!! It might be true is some situations, this could be one of them.
If you knew Roy toy though you might change your opinion. I'm not saying that I know him well but he lived next to some of my family while he was coach at KU so was around him many times while growing up. He is actually a stand up guy with a midwest disposition but he loves his team and seems to have a short fuse when it comes to BB.
Roy's a grade A fraud, but I don't want to get into that because that isn't what this thread is about.
The 2/3 thing is meaningless for a variety of reasons. First of all, as has been said, at most places there is very little difference between the 2 and the 3. Offensively, there is no difference at all at most places. And defensively, the 3 tends to be the bigger guy and the guy who is better on the boards, which would be Barnes at any of his possibly 6 destinations.
Realistically, he isn't going to play the 2 at Duke (even though K doesn't label positions) because they have Dawkins, Curry, Smith and the need for a SF. He isn't going to play the 2 at UNC because they have Strickland, McDonald, Bullock, and the need for a SF. He isn't going to play the 2 at Kansas because they have Taylor, Johnson, and the need for a SF. Harrison understands all that, he's an extremely bright kid.

I'm still holding out hope for ISU. I'm not going to be calling for anyone's head should he choose otherwise, but I'd be happy as hell if he picks the good guys.
