that could easily be some @ssclown trying to spin us all into a frenzy!!! HB wouldn't keep his decision under wraps for so long to let it spill the morning of the announcement... would he??

No. He's too classy for that garbage.

Only 5 hours. How crazy can CF get in 5 hours?

I think I asked a question where I don't want the answer.:no:

The one thing that I have heard with my own ears is that Sullivan doesn't like McDermott's system and doesn't think that good players would come here because of it.

Jake's disdain for McDermott seems to have diminished some lately though.

And I find nothing in that statement to label him a d-bag (not that you did). It's okay to me that someone dislikes a system.

No way it's Kansas. I'm just curious why there hasn't been more talk about UCLA? It's my understanding that he really like his visit there. Everyone this morning and last night seems dead set on UNC Duke or the good guys..

I heard that Harrison Barnes had his I-pod on shuffle, and Cyclone by Baby Bash and T-pain came on. Must be a sign. :pbiggrin:

I'm seriously sick to my stomach nervous about this. I'm almost ashamed of myself that a HS kid's choice of college has this much affect on me...

I couldn't fall asleep last night. Just layed awake thinking about how big this committment will be with other local talent. Marcus Paige, Chasson, Saten, if HB would come (big if) we become a legit national power with them.

Let me make my official announcement....

Jake Sullivan is a d-bag of the first order. :yes:
Not really. Jake was primarily concerned with Harrison. He did not want him to committ too young and then when the word of his talent got out (which happened at a Nike camp 2 summers ago) having Harrison in the spot of being committed to the home town team and getting pursued like he has.

That would have been tough on the kid and Jake did not want him going through that. He advised Harrison to let the process play itself out. A verbal after your freshman year, or anytime for that matter does not bind.


Yes, he is. Everyone should be able to see through his BS. He's only looking out for himself and it's so transparent.

You are very bitter towards a great young man. Jake gave more and gives more to ISU than you will ever think about.

The one thing that I have heard with my own ears is that Sullivan doesn't like McDermott's system and doesn't think that good players would come here because of it.

Jake's disdain for McDermott seems to have diminished some lately though.

McDermott's system is a harder sell to the ball hogs of the world, but winning sells itself in some ways and once the W's get rolling to system will fade into the background.

Relax, KU is low on the list, Self confirmed this. If he didn't think so, he wouldn't have said anything at all.

They are pushing HB's announcement right now on Sportscenter, talking about another recruiting war between UNC and Duke. Not a mention of ISU.
