If I was going to make the money he will, I wouldn't need a degree.

Don't get me wrong, I hope he signs with ISU because that would be huge but I would put the chance at about 10%.

Also, I know he wants to get a business degree or whatever but if he is half the hype that everyone says he is, he will not be a 4 year guy, thus it won't matter where what the business school is like because he won't get the degree from there.

He is. If he signs with ISU, he will start from day 1.

Didn't Ross Marsden start from day one? Sorry, couldn't help it.

Please come play for Iowa State, Harrison.

Heard it from him at one of the open gyms at Ames High - he was there to watch Kellogg of the girls' team, but has known HB for some time. He and the Twister Sisters are part of our recruiting edge.
If HB does go somewhere else, he has to say "no thanks" to a whole lot of friends here. No way, no how.

**Longhorns3131** · 01-03-2009, 04:56 PM

If his only reason to stay in Ames is because of friends and not basketball, then he has alot of problems. He's going to go where his best fit is.

I hope your right but I doubt Bill turns this into our favor. I really, REALLY hope your right.

If we miss out on him, it'll be like missing out on Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison...we need to get these players!!

Totally different story. Marsden was a 3 star recruit. There was hype but his hype was more like "please be the next Homan", not "Please be the next Mayor!" like it is for Harrison.

Comparing Marsden to Harrison is like comparing Agnew to Brackins, IMHO.

I wouldn't slit my wrists if Harrison signed with UNC or Duke. But, if he signed with Kansas...

Really?

Hate to say it, but I have this feeling he will sign with KU. I mean great program, sort of close to home, and how many times this year and before has he visited Lawerence.
