I dimly recall Bryant saying something about playing for coach K?
I'm sure someone will find a way to worry about even this tidbit, unfortunately.
Eric Bossi has been doing a series of articles on Barnes for Scout.com. Today part 2 was released and has some interesting tidbits.

May be named after MJ but that's not his favorite player....You see Bryant is Barnes’ favorite player and it’s tough not to see similarities in their personality, drive and commitment to perfecting their skills.

If Harrison wants to be on TV as much as Kobe, he should come to Duke. Apparently, Duke bball and the Lakers both have 25 nationally televised games this year (the most of any college team or NBA team).
I used to feel that way, but for some reason as I've gotten older I've found it easier to be more objective and not care. I definitely subscribe to the "emotional hedging" rationale mentioned earlier: if I pick them to win and they do, I win money and am happy, and if they lose, I am happy by nature.
Separate poll?
Back to Harrison Barnes, http://ouhoops.com/?p=1195
Does anyone else think that the more visits HB takes the better Duke's chances are. I get the feeling that the more programs he is exposed too only helps our recruitment. He was dazzeled by the UNC weekend no doubt, but the more time that passes from that visit coupled with the exposure to other good programs and elite programs must lessen the impact that weekend had on him... plus I like Duke's chances with the business school angle better than any of the other programs as well. Am I just viewing the world thru my beautiful Duke Blue glasses or do other see it this way?
I truly believe the more time that passes, the better our chances. Roy certainly made some headway with an hour and a half counter/rebuttal, but we have to remember that HB visited K after an early NC visit. He is a Duke kind of kid, with strong ties to several people in our program. And also a smart guy. Let's just hope e doesn't get carried away with glitz.
Let me tell you how I confirmed that too much recruiting information on the internet is not good for me:
Last night I dreamt that Michael Jordan told me Harrison Barnes was going to Kansas. I was totally bummed out because I knew that Harrison had tremendous drive for the following reason:
While on his Official Visit, I saw Harrison at a grocery store in Durham stocking shelves because he figured he could earn a few extra bucks during his spare time.
Between Kenny Boynton, John Wall, and Harrison Barnes, I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. I'm glad I'm not a coach...hats off to K for staying sane.

Interesting read. I'd feel a lot better if he didn't have "additional questions" for Huckleberry, but I could be paranoid. This kid keeps it tight to the vest that is for sure.
I guess i am going crazy with recruiting. As i am scared about what he meant when he said "additional questions." What do you think?
