Heads22 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 07:31 PM) Yeah, as much as UIC is still there too.... Barnes still utilizes Iowa State's practice facility, works out with members of the team, plays with members of the team, has consulted with McDermott after visits, is the son of an ISU player, has a mom that works for Iowa State and has expressed extreme interest in the possibility of playing with Craig Brackins next year. He attended a number of ISU games last year and grew up an ISU fan. To say he won't come to ISU is fine, but he didn't put ISU in his final six as just a formality.

Yeah, he works out there because his parents work there. I'm sure some football players in the NFL grew up Raiders, Browns, and Lions fans but don't want to play there given the choice. Barnes is working out there because he has unlimited access to the facilities and he's from there. It would make sense for him to workout at the local university over flying to UNC or whatever school he chooses. ISU never had a chance. He's leaving them in his top 6 out of respect for the school, but they were never realistic. Sorry to break it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least get your story straight....his dad does not work for ISU and is not even in Ames. ISU offered him a few years ago. Knowing multiple people that have been friends with Harrison his entire life.......Iowa State is still in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using parents in general, but fine, if you want it that way. He's not going to Ames even though his Dad played there(who's not in his life anymore) and his mom works there. I'll make you a sig bet that ISU doesn't end up with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he ends up at ISU. But I am saying they have been and still are a serious contender for his services. He seemed to be enjoying himself at tonight's game.

Jenksismyhero Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Big signing day for Illinois. Can't wait to get Richmond, Leonard and Head on campus. Lots and lots of talent coming to Champaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Big week for Tennessee basketball. We're still in it for a few top players that should be signing LOI's this week. I doubt we get any of them b/c I just don't have faith in UT basketball recruiting (especially after Selby and Craft de-committed). Football recruiting is great, though. 6th in nation, 3rd in SEC according to Rivals. Picked up a commitment from the top ranked OL in Georgia (4-star) yesterday.

He_Gawn Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 That means??? I'm sure he has a sweatshirt from damn near every college team. A lot of teens do. I'm sure today he went to school in a Slippery Rock t-shirt. Punch his ticket there. He is a Tar Heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Kansas has been dropped, reportedly. Down to Iowa State, UNC, Duke, UCLA and Oklahoma. The shirt isn't a big deal. He'll be an ISU fan wherever he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is usually really informed but he has also said he doesn't really have a great inside source in this case FWIW. Doesn't mean the info is wrong just that it isn't as reliable as the inside info he usually gives.

Can't wait to get Richmond, Leonard and Head on campus. Lots and lots of talent coming to Champaign. Definitely. Congrats to Weber, way to haul in the big recruits in and hold on to them come signing day, b-ball future is looking promising. Hopefully now we can end all the "Weber can't recruit" talk and get back to the "Zook can't coach" talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
