If Iowa played Duke I would probably root for the referees to blow a ton of calls. Make both fan bases mad and then for them to tie.

ok....poll time..... pick if he goes to Iowa state or other... someone set this up.....CF set this up. Whatever you bet... you get double back....
I'm the #1 recruit in the nation. As such I gotta believe I'll drastically improve a team. And if said team is placing 3rd -6th in their conf I could help them up a few spots.
Again..that's if I'm in his shoes. It just comes down to being just another McD AA to play for them or to truly be remembered as a special player.
I really like HB but to be honest I just think historically Duke/UNC have some players that he'd never surpass in the fan's eyes.
You mean just like if Harrison came here people would still talk about how they liked Hoiberg/Grayer/Stevens/Hornacek/Tinsley/Fizer more? :wideeyed:
If HB is the player he's rated to be...he'll easily surpass them. I don't believe any of them were as highly touted out of school. Fizer was excellent but not the numero uno prospect.
But you raise a good point...let's make that same list for UNC or Duke and see how it compares.

Right, and Barnes wouldn't be the greatest player in ISU history before he laces 'em up the first time either.
There are more names you could put on the list I started anyway, and I could care less what Tar Heels and Dukies think their favorite player is.
Regardless of where he goes, Harrison will have a fantastic chance to impact a program immediately and if he does that, that school's fans will always remember him.
The "just another AA" thing is so tired.
Someone earlier said we wouldn't pass up an opportunity to play at UNC or Duke. I just gave a reason why I would pass up that oppty.
The just another AA thing is not tired.

This makes our chances even more slim...maybe they are looking for a Fab 5 type thing at Duke.

Did anyone notice the link to Harrison's name goes to his profile and lists ISU as a low interest.
Yeah...it's been that way for awhile. Doesn't really matter, either first or last.
Agree i imagine they do that because no official was scheduled and because we are the "small team"
He is very hung up on contenting for a National Title...So, I think your question is answered on who has the best chance to win a National Title in 2010?
I mean if you're trying to decide between Duke and North Carolina and playing for a National Title is the criteria, I would be picking UNC probably. That is without looking at their incoming guys though. Maybe its just my hatred for Duke and my love for the Carolina offense showing.
