HB update on Iowa board?

Well...he did say he wants to win a national champion, so I guess I can't blame him.

Yeah the chances of him playing for a team that will fight for 10 wins is pretty slim

Let's not get too uppity. I realize it is the Hawks we are talking about, but a little humility never hurt any of us.

kg, have you heard anything on a post recruit by the initials MW, who is transferring to a program familiar with ISU?

He said HB's girlfriend (dated a long time) has committed to Iowa for basketball so he is considering following her. I still think we have no shot but it is fun think about. This information is from a high schooler but I have no reason to think it is not true. (I wonder if Lick encouraged Lisa to offer her?)"

So, he is now suddenly willing to go to a school that hasn't been on his list for months, a school with no shot at doing anything, a school that does not have a very good business school, all so that he can go there with his girlfriend. Meanwhile, he has drooped a school from his list that his mom works at, a school that may at least make the tourney this year, a school where several of his team mates will likely go to, a school that has been in his top 5 for as long as he has had one. If he really wanted to be near his girlfriend, he would drop Duke from his list, not ISU. That post is BS!

10 wins does it. Lost the entire regular season, win 4 in the Big Ten tournament, win 6 in the NCAAs, you've got yourself a national championship, and a strange story for the ages.

I have a bad feeling that this post is going to end up on a Hawk board somewhere

Hawk fans, if it does, send me a link. I want to see how badly this goes.

Yes...Long before it got leaked on Scout and Rivals

Thanks to Cyismydog.

Yeah, the best player in the entire country is going to play ball where his girlfriend is. Makes perfect sense.

High school kids have done dumber things

My mom told me that Harrison is going to play in Italy. This is so stupid. Iowa doesn't even have a basketball team at this point...

I wouldn't take this too far - if you take off the blinders, UI definitely has a better business school than ISU.

Don't think Barnes is your typical HS kid. Not all HS kids are given future millionaires.

Depends what you're looking at. From a couple articles I've read, Iowa State's undergraduate program is better, but Iowa's graduate program is light years better because I believe you can actually get a doctorate, where you can't at Iowa State.
