KU and Barnes

[blazear]

Not sure how to find it online, but in the Register today Self is quoted as saying he probably won't even watch because he isn't expecting good news. Gotta like that!!

I think this has already been stated in another thread.

Good! KU sucks

I don't see where Self said that he isn't expecting good news. This is the quote from Self from the KU papers...

"Self was asked Thursday if he’d be watching ESPNU at 3 p.m. today. That’s when Ames, Iowa forward Harrison Barnes will begin a news conference in which he’ll choose to attend either KU, North Carolina, Duke, UCLA, Oklahoma or Iowa State.
“I doubt it. Tomorrow is game day,” Self said. “I’d be very excited if we get good news from any of the guys we are recruiting, but tomorrow is game day.”
Self stressed Thursday he had “no feel” about what any of KU’s remaining uncommitted prospects will do."

I wonder if this is the first thing to leak out. I'm not sure, if I were Self that I would publicly state that KU was out of it unless I had more than internet rumors.

I wonder if HB let Self know that he wasn't going to KU. If so, I'm pretty sure the ISU coaches haven't heard anything like that so that would be good news for ISU.

Hawk buddy at work also says he's not watching. His story was that he doesn't care, since this guys aren't in it.

That made him the only one with that story.

I honestly don't think KU EVER had a shot.
