If they are offering you the same thing. It's called Loyalty. My father is CFO of Kenworth Semi trucks. If I was to buy a Semi I would not go to International to shop. I would go to Kenworth first. Just because your father worked for IBM means that you should use IBM as your first option when purchasing.
So try being Loyal sometime Palmer. I bet your dad would be happy you chose to support the products he makes his living off of.

whatever...I am loyal to the University (ISU) I attended and my wife and kids. I owe nothing to IBM...esp when they produce a crappy product.
you think weird.
not when working for Apple which offers better opportunities/options.
be prepared for Barnes to be at Apple.
oh...and my dad was a a$smunch.

and for the record. The way I describe it is the way it works. People get fired for this same type of thing. If I was to buy a truck from someone other then Kenworth my father would be in a whole lot of trouble. Possibly lose his job. That is the real world. When Danny Manning graduated from Kansas did his dad keep coaching there? NO. You know why because they had no reason for him any longer. The real world is Harrison better show a little loyalty to Iowa State.
Harrison Barnes only owes Iowa State one thing in my mind: If he ever decides that he won't be coming to Iowa State he needs to let us know as soon as possible.
His connections to Iowa State and our current players have helped open some of the doors that are open to him. I understand him going elsewhere, but if the day comes where he eliminates Iowa State from consideration McDermott needs to know so he can move on to fallback options.
That is really all he owes us in my mind.

I agree. But I've come to the conclusion that we really are not holding a scholarship for him. We have moved on in a sense, but if he decides to come then we will make room for him. At least that is the way it appears on paper.
my feeling is that he is gone.
I wish he would announce sooner than later and not drag it out..
Do KU and ISU offer the same thing? What you posted is crazy in my opinion.I may know/have met your father.

Slightly different but basically and education and a basketball. You know my dad or your being a smartass. Which one?
I agree he owes ISU nothing other than letting us know as soon as possible and I think he will do that...or at least he will start giving the staff a vibe one way or another this summer.
That said, if he goes to Kansas that would be a slap in the face. I just don't see how you go to the arch rival of the school you grew up watching, maybe thats just me.

KUClone is such a fan he actually has Iowa State as his secondary team in his name. KU sucks. Go back there.
KU, UNC, Duke. Don't count out Texas or Florida either. I wish he would stay in Ames like the rest of us but he'd really be limiting himself if he stayed. He wants a title, something he can't get here.. atleast under Greg McDermott
