Here's a video with Harrison and Rodney in it. Harrison is the 2nd and third clips.
YouTube - Royce White and Rodney Williams
Wow, can Rodney get up or what? He's got more hops than Rahshon! Harrison really got up there to!

Yeah, he can.. I read somewhere a while ago that he could be the best dunker in his class!

Good news on the Rodney front too. Wisconsin "Will not have an open schollie in '09" per an inside source, which goes against the assumption that they will get Rodney. From what I've been hearing, that will bump us up into his top 3. Also some bad news. "We will probably have an open schollie in 2010 though." Which means that they will go after Harrison extra hard.

I would be sick to loose Harrison Barnes to Wisconsin. They have beat us out for about every other recruit. I would rather have Maymon than Rodney Williams. I hope he commits to us.

It makes my head spin to think that I have to pay attention where these kids are going when there is so much time until they actually sign.

I would take losing most of the recruits over Wisky that we have lost over the last few years as long as that means we get Barnes! :)

For some reason I have a feeling about Maymon that he could end up being kind of like Stinson only at a different position. Kind of a tweener that can do a little bit of everything that will really suprise everyone right away where he plays, I really hope we get that kid!

Let the chips fall where they will. I'm through getting all up in arms about recruiting.

I don't think it's gonna happen. This article makes me think that he's going to be a Gopher.

I'd actually rather get Maymon - I want a guy with a big body coming in right away. If he really is 235, it'd be nice to have a potential of him and Lucca at the 2/3, that would be two guys 225 plus in the backcourt. One of the reasons I think we've had such trouble with K-State the last few years is that they are just so much stronger than ISU has been at just about every position.

More and more people i talk to in MN are questioning whether Rodney will qualify out of high school or not. From what i hear, he's not a qualifier now. Which could put him into a year of prep school.

That would also push him into the class of 2010.

I was always under the assumption that he was going to Minnesota so him being eliminated from Wisky's plans really doesn't change my thinking on Williams.

The more time that goes on, the more I will be surprised if we are able to sign Barnes.

Something that I've been hearing whisperings of is this
The NCAA won't allow players to go to prep school after high school if they are non academic qualifiers. Instead, they will be forced to go to Juco. However, I have been hearing that this year Rodney will go to Oak Hill, and play there for his senior year, instead of post graduate. I too would rather have Harrison than Rodney.
