Jereme Richmond, Harrison Barnes face off on ESPN on Thursday

Then, there's a matchup like Thursday's on ESPN between 6-foot-8 Harrison Barnes of Ames (Iowa) and 6-7 Jereme Richmond of Waukegan (Ill.), where both can do it all. They shoot. They pass. They post up. They score inside and out. They dribble. They rebound. They block shots.

"They're elite small forwards," ESPN Scouts Inc. national director of basketball recruiting Paul Biancardi said. "Barnes has a complete offensive game. Richmond has a talented offensive game. Both are long, athletic. They can play on the perimeter, and they can go in the post when they need to.

"They have the ability to get double-doubles. I wouldn't be surprised if either one of those guys gets a triple-double."
