Harrison Barnes recruiting thread

[BD80]

Doesn't sound like bonding to me:

Top-ranked Harrison Barnes did not play pickup with the Kansas players on Friday afternoon. Said his body was sore from all the two-a-days.

I really can't see Harrison going to KU after the recent crime wave that has hit the basketball team. Also, in that 20 questions SI article it talks about the Henry brothers and how they trained at home instead of with the team this summer and that Mr. Henry said CJ is already better than Sherron Collins, which is obviously a lie. Mr. Henry also said Xavier is definitely a one and done. Sounds like a terrible situation down there that he would be smart to avoid. I'm sure all of of their best players will be gone after this year though (Collins, Aldrich, Henry to the NBA).

When is Harrison's Duke visit again?

Harrison visits Friday, October 23rd

[-bdbd]

Let's just hope Harrison doesn't get jumped by the Kansas football team this weekend.

LOL!
Great line Diablo!

Is it just me, or do others get the sense that the greater threat may have shifted from Laurence to Chapel Hell? (Of course that sense may be influenced by our proximity to faded-blue central...

I think this is more of us fearing UNC getting him more than KU getting him, personally. It's probably about equal.

I hope Harrison has more fun at Duke than he seemed to at the Phog:

Big weekend for us. I hope he bonds well with Andre, Seth and Mason. It is time for Coach K to close the deal!

Harrison was too sore from working out to play pick-up game with KU players on Friday.

On Saturday:

After KU's practice, most recruits went to lunch or left campus. Not Harrison Barnes. He got in a workout in an empty gym. Impressive.

This young man sounds nearly too good to be true!

A series of posts have been removed from this thread. Lets be careful about what we repeat from overheard conversations, ok folks? That is at least a mild invasion of privacy and DBR would like us to steer clear of it.

I'm less concerned about overheard conversations than fabricated ones.

[BD80]

Not much buzz coming out of Harrison's OV to KU

Barnes, 6-8 senior from Ames (Iowa) High ranked No. 2 in the Class of 2010, also made the trip to Kansas. He told Rivals on Sunday he was not yet ready to comment on his visit.

The mods here are so serious, lol. Now I'm curious about these removed posts.

Anyway, to put DBR's mind at ease, it would only be an invasion of privacy if the people conversing were in a place where they would have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Public places usually don't qualify. And at any rate I don't think DBR would have anything to worry about because it's just the message board. It would be a different story if the front page posted an article regarding an overheard conversation.

So was this juicy information actually interesting or just mostly baseless speculation like the rest of this thread.

[budwom]

Was it juicy info or baseless speculation?
My vote would be it was neither...more along the lines of concocted jive.
I did note the magic disappearance of the posts, and I'm fine with whatever Jason et al decided to do, but I kind of thought the responses to the post in question were taking care of the situation rather nicely all by themselves.

If Harrison is unavailable to testify, a hearsay objection could be overcome.

It might inadmissible as irrelevant to the existence of a binding contract, but could be relevant to the issue of Harrison's state of mind with respect to potential negotiations this weekend.

Carolina fans would certainly object that the testimony was highly prejudicial.

LOL. Admissible as a present-sense impression?

My hope is an excited utterance.

Not that it matters, but the posts were deleted by another mod and I just decided to post something to explain why so many posts had disappeared.

There is a Iowa St fan on the rivals board that is posting that Barnes will be a blue devil. Take it for what it's worth...probably nothing...but where there is smoke there's fire right?

Walking on egg shells,
Holding its breath.
If DBR knows something,
We can only gueth.
