Well, beating Duke will certainly give the program credibilibility. Beating Duke on national TV will bring the program visibility. And beating Duke in Chicago, right where GMac has so carefully been nurturing some higher profile recruits, might well result in better recruiting.

Of course, while Duke will be one win, signing HB would probably mean a great many more.

On the whole, however, I really have to say that I would take both. There's no rule that says you can't both beat Duke and sign Harrison Barnes.

I see reference to how bright Barnes is-- what is his ACT or SAT scores?

So your question was how much respect we have for a recruit?

Well, if you want to take it that way. I was going to say that his SAT/ACT scores are a little personal--and thus none of our business.
