I think Wisconsin has a niche in Barnes' recruitment. He's playing in a state with nothing remotely close to a powerhouse basketball school, he's from the midwest, and he reportedly plays a disciplined style similar to the Badgers. I'd liken his situation to Joe Krabbenhoft's.
From all the reports, Barnes is an intelligent guy. If he picks Iowa St., Wisconsin, or whoever; it will probably be a measured, well researched decision. And the recipient of his services will be very lucky. Either way, like Troy alluded to, 2010 is the best in state Wisconsin class since the first couple at least of this century; so we'll be covered.
Hey, how do they like Milwaukee's own Diante Garrett in Ames? The Badgers nearly offered and I was impressed with his skills in high school. The only issue was physical development.

Actually, Iowa State is modifying there colors to something that looks better. Diante Garrett was extremely weak when he came to Iowa State, but he came on really strong at the end of the season. Harrison's Mom works for Iowa State, and he went to 15 of the 19 home games. (Stalker, I know) He is seen as the must-get recruit for the current coaching staff.
