Just jumping into this thread so sorry if it's already been discussed, but I don't think Barnes signing early is much of a game-changer. Like what was beat into our heads when he narrowed his list to 6 (or 5+1 as some put it), we need to take the kid at his word. I take this to mean Barnes thought the process was going to take a lot more time, but sees that his unofficial visits really helped in his decision process and it might not take as much time as he thought...which is pretty much what he said.
I hope he comes to ISU like everyone else here does, but I will say I will pull for him wherever he goes. Being from Iowa Falls, we went through a situation somewhat similar to this with Nick Collison. When Nick chose Kansas I was disappointed it wasn't ISU and I HATED Kansas, but I still pulled for him. Every time KU and ISU played, I wanted Nick to go off for 40 but ISU to win. Same thing will be true for Harrison if he goes somewhere else and ends up playing ISU. He sounds like a great kid with a good head on his shoulders and he will make Iowans proud regardless of where he plays his collegiate basketball.
