He could just have Doug take it home from school.

I'd guess if he announces ISU the place goes crazy.

If he announces UCLA, UNC, or Duke he gets some boos 1/4 or 1/2 the people. Most people stick around for the press to ask why not ISU. Then people start leaving.

If he announces KU the place erupts in boos. People are leaving. Not pretty. Shouldn't have been announced like this.

I wasn't going to go. Now I'm going. I have to see this if he picks ISU. It would be history making for ISU.

For the record if he picks UCLA, UNC, or Duke I'll clap nicely, very briefly, and stick around for the press questions. If he picks KU I won't boo, but I'll walk out during the thing.

The announcing of a new coach is totally different in my opinion.

The closer we get to this the better I like ISU's odds.

It means something...a bigger audience than normal no matter where he decides to go to school.

Kepth Murphy stated that WHOTV 13 will be streaming this

Great point...how was the Love signing handled? Does anyone know.

I have a feeling that UCLA may not be the non-issue in this process that everyone else seems to think.

I do remember when UCLA went back to play Oregon, that had extra sercurity for the Love Family and Friends and it still got ugly....

Is it Friday yet?

**Osoprimo** · 11-10-2009, 08:22 PM

Good luck, hope you guys get him.

**CloneFan65** · 11-10-2009, 08:41 PM

Ok. We need someone in Ames to check the receipts from all the sports stores in town to see if anyone has purchased any Duke, UNC, KU, OU, UCLA, or ISU hats this week. Then check the credit card numbers to see if any come up as belonging to HB or anyone in his family.

**Cycsk** · 11-10-2009, 09:01 PM

I think he may still be making his decision. Based on what I've read in the papers during the last week, it sounds like there is nice talent coming to ISU. It looks like a very appealing team. Solid big guys. A true point guard who doesn't mind feeding him the ball. A gap for scoring when Brackins goes pro. Or a dual-scoring threat if somehow he stays. Imagine that!

He will be an immediate star on the best team ISU has had in years. Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. Then Big 12 Player of the Year. His entire college career will be super high profile.

I hope he is realistic. He could go to KU, NC, or Duke and be on the bench! At ISU, he would be a star!

**everyyard** · 11-10-2009, 09:02 PM

he wouldn't be on anyone's bench.

**Cycsk** · 11-10-2009, 09:03 PM

I'm not doubting his talent. But whose starting spot would he be taking at KU if he was there this year?

**2forISU** · 11-10-2009, 09:07 PM

Please say NO to KU!

**Cycsk** · 11-10-2009, 09:10 PM

My point is that HB would be an immediate star for as long as he wants at ISU. If he goes to KU, NC, Duke, or UCLA, it will still be an uphill climb to be a star. They get Top 10 recruits each year with his talent.
