Barnes to announce on ESPNU

[dbronco7sc]

I'm sure he'll have already notified the respectice schools before he announces on ESPN. I'm sure this is just for the fans. I'd be surprised if he hasn't already notified the schools involved. I'm guessing you don't set an announcement date for TV until you have already made a decision at that point. Why force yourself to make a decision on a set date if you don't have to. I could be wrong though, as I haven't gone through the process myself.

I am excited to finally know though. Hope he gives ISU a chance. But it's his decision to do what he wants with his life, and I can respect that.

Dear Harrison,

Are we going to have to watch flight tracker to see which major college coach is flying into Ames that day?

Or at least a day or two.

I would assume, or I would hope that Harrison and recruits alike would have the courtesy to let the coaches in the running of his decision prior to announcing to the media.

Coach K, Roy, Mac and the others will not be watching ESPNU like us to find out the fate of HB.

I assumed that he would be flying to ESPN's studio. Anyone know for sure?

won't practice have started? I would think maybe it will be done at Ames High

They normally do it at their high school. I also don't think the "winning" coach will be in attendance, unless it is Mac.

I want a camera on Dukie Vitale...

Just in case he picks the Clones over the Blue Devils - and we can see his head explode.

Winning coach might not BE ALLOWED in attendance.

Not sure what the contact rules are, or if they change after commitment and during the season.

That's too bad. I think they should do it like an award show, like the Heisman. Have the 6 coaches sitting in a row and then have Harrison announce which one "won" and have the camera's close in on the disappointed faces of the others.:yes:

 

[WalkingCY]

He's going to be a Cyclone. Oh man!

This...the first thing that came into my mind when I read the OP was that the decision is made...

 

[isucyfan]

So far the Cyclones are 1 for 1 on televised MBB recruit announcements...let's make it 2 for 2!

 

[clone4lyfe]

What if he has all 6 hats on the table and picks up the ISU hat by mistake and puts it on as he says I'm going to be a (fill in school name) and then realizes he grabbed the wrong hat. That would probably be the biggest high followed immediately by the biggest low in most Cyclone fans' lifes. :biglaugh:

 

[HandSanitizer]

Can we finally get a much needed CyBookie event for this now?

 

[ISUonthemove]

If HB would commit to ISU, I would think there has to be some possibility of Craig staying his senior year, or Gilstrap getting a second year. Both of those are very long shots.

I think they should do it Duck...Duck...Goose style.

 

[Cydkar]

If HB would commit to ISU and Craig were to get hurt, I would think there has to be some possibility of Craig staying his senior year, or Gilstrap getting a second year. Both of those are very long shots.

Not sure how HB coming to ISU affects Gilstrap's standing with the NCAA.

KG---anything new on HB?
