I won't be surprised, unless he goes to UCLA, Iowa St., or Kansas.

you're just being a Tarhole.

AGREE...lets let the kid enjoy his stay at Duke if that's his choice. Barnes won't be LeBron day one...probably more like Singler. Kyle was great but we shouldn't put the pressure of the world on Harrison's shoulders. He's a great all-around player but isn't a star yet in any category from what i hear.

It seems that some get rather manic when discussing recruiting. Calmness is called for. These kids rarely live up to the hype, rarely.

[CEF1959]

I don't know about rarely, but there certainly are enough surprises (both positive and negative) to warrant calm.

Is anyone else concerned that Harrisons choice could come down to getting a degree in business from a school that has a business school like UNC or Kansas? I know an overall education from Duke is better than the other schools in the hunt for Barnes, but how much will that really play a part in his choice?

We have already been through this a thousand times my friend.

To paraphrase the late Walt Kelly, this month Friday the 13th comes on a Friday. Now I'm worried!

We are talking about a kid likely to spend 1 year, maybe 2 on campus. I don't think his specific major will be that huge a factor. Also, Duke has a number of majors and classes that will approximate a business degree for all intents and purposes.

This is the only school Harrison Barnes needs to worry about:

I find it funny how everyone's an expert on how long HB is staying in college.

Undergrads do not start taking business school classes until their junior year at UNC. They apply for admission into the business school at the end of their sophomore years.

Someone tell HB if he doesn't already know.

Duke is now up to 51%, probably because DBR had a link to the article.

We are so predictable.

Not the slightest. This has been discussed ad nausea. Probably warrants consideration as a new entry in the recruiting section of Throaty's HPR - We are disadvantaged in recruiting certain student athletes by not offering an undergraduate business major.

You can create your own major at duke. I was actually close to creating my own major during my ugrad there but decided not to. harrison met with the dean of fuqua and other high profile people during his visit, im sure they were able to stir up some ideas that would be akin/better than a biz major offered elsewhere.

I'm afraid you have missed the point.
