To land a recruit of his caliber would be a HUGE boost for this program. Plus being a local kid he definitely would earn a lot of respect and popularity if he committed to
ISU. All anyone needs to do is look at how much our fan base supported Lucca and his situation and he has yet to play a minute for us. Considering Barnes sat with Lucca at games I'm sure he's well aware just how great of fans we have.
In the end whatever school he choses you have to respect his decision. We all would love to see him in a Cyclone uniform though.
