I guess I've been living under a rock

How is it possible that I didn't know that Harrison is Ron Harris' son. Ron is one of my all time favorites. Classic Johnny type of player that played hard and always rose to the occasion. I watched him do a great job of defending Tisdale in Hilton one night. Come on HB - follow the old man and stay home!

It's probably just that we haven't talked much about Harrison Barnes on this site.

It must have been a big rock.

I dont think Ron has much to do with HB.

Ron hasn't been real involved in Harrison's life from what I've read. Honestly, I've always kind of thought that the fact that Ron played here might hurt our chances.

"There were two young men that restarted the program, Ronnie Harris (father of Harrison Barnes) and Barry Stevens. Their efforts helped us sign the caliber of players that followed, and put Iowa State on the national basketball map."

am going to ask again, just in case someone knows something, is Ron going to be at the signing???

Who is Harrison Barnes?

**iowast8fan** · 11-11-2009, 03:34 PM

His name being Harrison didn't give it away? Harris' son = Harrison.

I just thought his mom was a big Star Wars fan

I accidentally read the thread title as "I guess I've been licking a rock".

Did anyone hear the guy who called into one of the DM afternoon radio shows (don't know which one since I flip around) and say he talked to his dad and he said Harrison was going to go to UNC? I was on the phone while it was on, but that is what I thought was said. Probably nothing (or a hawk fan.)
