Ok if Barnes doesn't committ to Iowa State than he is just cruel. If this news is true than all the signs point directly to us and it would be a major kick in the nads if he were to decide to go elsewhere
It might not be the best idea in the world to invite the public to your signing day announcement and wear Cyclone clothing just days before it if you're going to announce you're headed somewhere else.... HOWEVER... please everyone.... don't hold it against HB wherever he decides to go to school or make it sound like he kicked us in the groin.
He's just a young man that is trying to do whatever is in his best interests as both a basketball player and a college student as well. He could still announce he's going somewhere else and still be a Cyclone fan, right? He's been a Cyclone fan his entire life, why should he not be proud to wear a Cyclone sweatshirt to high school in Ames?
And why should he not invite the public? This is a big day for him... one he's been looking forward to for a long, long time. Many people in Ames care personally for the young man and his future, whether it's at ISU or somewhere else. Maybe HB feels some of these people would want to come and be a part of it and wish him well?
I'm feeling more confident by the day that he's coming to ISU, but will support him no matter what his decision is. It has to be a VERY tough decision for him. I hope everyone just supports him no matter what happens on Friday. He's just a young man that has done nothing negative to any of us, and he happens to be a great person as well. Support him!!
