Collison, LaFrentz, and Heinrich are completely different situations. Collison and Heinrich had a coach leave ISU during their recruiting. LaFrentz didn't practice with our team at our practice facility on a regular basis.
Yes I do. I know I would have rather than being strung along the entire time. I thought I heard he was supposed to have a great relationship with Coach Mac. He mentioned how great of a relationship with with Roy and Coach K but nothing about ISU. he didn't even really say anything nice about the university or the recruitment. I found it to be a slap in the face and I think Coach Mac and Coach Fennely probably did the same seeing their tweets.

Are you going to sit there and actually tell us that you're a REAL ISU FAN and NOT have a problem with that?!?!
At least this part is correct, because he would have made that announcement in front of a gym full of Cyclone fans, not a gym full of Tarheel fans.

I suppose I'm just past the age where I ***** and moan when people don't choose to go to Iowa State.
What the **** does that even mean???
Of course everyone would have been thrilled, excited, overjoyed, and whatever other term of happiness you want to use. That has not even debateable. It is a fact.
And you are right, barely, there are some people on here that are venting only because he didn't come here.
But if you aren't bright enough to realize where the majority of the anger is coming from then I can't help you.
If you think that there would have been half as many people in that gym had he not kept Iowa State on his "list," again, I can't help you.
If you don't understand that this kid played the game, and thoughtlessly, even callously, used Cyclone fans for his own purpose, then I can't help you.
.
Of course it is. That's why I'm on here admitting there's a damn good possibility I make the same decision.
You still don't get it buddy. I'm cool with the decision. Disappointed, of course. But still cool with it. There's a lot of side stories here that go beyond HB picking what's arguably the best basketball program in the country.
Are you an Ames High student, by chance?
My point is that people are only mad at the act because the act didn't lead to him choosing ISU. So they're fine with the act if he chooses the way they wanted him too. That's pretty lame in my opinion. Atleast be honest about it.
Saying he handled it poorly is reaaaaly stupid. Nobody outside this website has problems with how he handled it.
The reaction speaks for itself. What ever the intended reaction was is mute. The damage is done. Too bad for Barnes that he couldn't have it all... UNC, ISU as his **tch, and a **tch glad to be a **tch. He was getting the first two, never had the third. I think he'll only get the first from this point forward.
Did you read anything else on the internet today?
Barnes burned bridges with some other coaches on that list today, too. That's been made pretty apparent.
Andy Katz went so far as to say one of the coaches blames ESPN for this.
You seem to think 25 people on a message board represents how all of ISU and it's fan base feel. He was in a position where he couldn't make everyone happy. Didn't say anything about a 2nd rate university, but you are crazy if you think we are a first rate bball program so any publicity associated to the #1 recruit in the country is good as far as future recruiting goes. I'm sorry, maybe I didn't realize we've been going to the sweet 16 the past couple years...
Obviously other coaches felt that way! The whole reason everybody went is because nobody had a clue where he was going. A lot of coaches clearly thought they had chances. He can only chose 1 school.
Please then, go to any other web site and you'll gain the agreement you seek.
Wow. Is that really how it works? Thanks, Captain Obvious.
The other coaches would not talk to Andy Katz and say they blame ESPN for picking another school. How often do you hear a college basketball coach complain openly to the press about someone picking another school? It was clearly the whole production they found to be unbecoming. Much like everyone on this board.
