And now he is suggesting he will sign in November?!?!?

Do you have a link???

I was told a decision was not coming for 7 to 8 months(about a month ago)...

National Hoops Report: Barnes ready for official visits

Here's a link from Justin Young's hoops blog.

HB is an incredible kid - sounds like he's coming to the end of his process and is ready to make a decision.

Funny how KU players are twittering "always a G" while HB is using words like "reaffirming." Love this kid...even if he doesn't go to ISU.

 

[CloneLawman]

Whoa! If Kg is surprised then it can't be good...

 

[jsb]

I hate Duke and UNC and Kansas. I would rather he stay away from all of those schools. Yuck.

 

[cycloneworld]

I don't have the feeling him changing his mind about his decision is a good thing for us.

 

[kg-cyclone]

Whoa! If Kg is surprised then it can't be good...

Surprised...yes

Good or Bad...Don't know.

Working on it.

 

[Royalclone]

Yep. Doesn't bode well for us. Big boys are probably getting impatient.

If he is signing in November, I think that gives ISU its best chance. He knows he will be a rock star all season if he announces ISU, and will be in for some tough crowds if he annouces to anyone else still on his list (especially KU). It would make more sense for his own good and sanity to put it off until after the season if he is even leaning to any other school.

Or coaches are putting pressure on him to decide....there are two sides to everything.

Right. Just because coaches put on the pressure doesn't mean that he's planning to decide anytime soon.

 

[jsb]

The new timing is huge, huge news. I'm guessing that it will not be good news for us, but it'll be fun to know what happens.

 

[cycloneworld]

He's quoted in the Scout article that he will decide in November in time for the early signing period.

OK. I hadn't read the article until you mentioned that.

I guess we'll see what it means in action soon enough.

Does it help that Iowa State gets the last visit, plus this news came out right after the opening of the ISU new practice facility...

HB will have it all there if he announces early to ISU and he will have access to that facility....

 

[kg-cyclone]

Don't know if it is good or bad.

Fairly certain the pressure is NOT coming from ISU...

 

[crash_zone]

What? I was hoping that we'd go to a top 3, then a top 2, then a coin toss at half time!

 

[cyclonefan1983]

Didnt HB already had an unofficial visit during the Iowa game week?

Now he is going to have another one

 

[cycloneML]

I think that is what it comes down to in the end. He can either stay and be the star player at a school like ours, or be a good player at a school that wins championships. For me(as much as it hurts to say this) the choice seems easy.

star players pull more wool than good players. ISU = more wool.

 

[isuno1fan]

All I know is if it were my choice, any school "pressuring me" for a decision would likely be eliminated from my list.

You gotta love all the rumors and speculation.

I got an email today from a buddy thats an OU alum(former FB player).
He claims that some kid on the OU BB team.....Crocker,is telling everyone that HB is going to OU.Has it on his facebook page and everything.

Just goes to show you that its all speculation and rumor at this point.
