Mark Miller ‏@WisBBYearbook  9m9 minutes ago
Sources close to the situation tell me Diamond Stone is a 70-30 lean to Wisconsin over UConn.

Mark knows so I too assume this is true today .... But what about in the spring?

Remember 6 months before Henry committed to MU he too was a solid Bucky lean.

Things change and something stopped Stone from committing this month.

No real interest for MD.

according to today's milw. journal/sentinal,front page story on diamond stone and his cousin arike ogunbowale "he will likely keep wisconsin, maryland, connecticut and oklahoma state waiting until the spring before making a decision on where he will play next".

If I were Stone and saw how Okafor is dominating at Duke this year, very early in the season nonetheless, and knowing he will more than likely be gone next year, I'd have a hard time not strongly considering playing for Coach K.

good point but but but, let's not give him any ideas-how about playing for the next best thing-coach k's understudy.  wojo will show him everything coach k would and his parents will only have minutes to his home games and only have to fly but to some away games...I have a toothache?  ;D

Two words, Chase Jeter ... He is already committed to Duke.

I read that he may have been suspended over the weekend but would play on Thursday. No idea what for or if true.

Bo wants Diamond Stone.
Stone wants to ball for Bucky.
Bo doesn't equal Bucky.

If so, why didn't he sign last month when he had the chance?  Why is he leaving his recruiting open?

Either he is reconsidering his final list of schools.  Or he has a school in mind but is having trouble meeting the minimum admission standards and/or qualifying to play in general.

My bet is it is the former .... he thinking/looking/considering other schools than what are listed (MU?)

I thought he was a Uconn lean?  I thought Uconn's admission standards are "breathing and Oliie will give you one of their 13 schollies."

Yet he could not meet this standard?

He may be considering other options.  But he is not coming to Marquette.

Perhaps he is strongly considering not trying to survive academically at Duke.  Maybe Coach K is protecting his APR.

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Breathing and meeting the NCAA requirements are two different things.

Are you saying that you can still meet the NCAA eligibility requirements even if you are no longer breathing?

I would agree with this. I have a feeling if Bucky had a different coach, one that played a style suited to Diamond's game, this would be done already.

Is this official?

Stone to UConn....I think the young man needs to reconsider.

If he comes to MU they could. . . ahem, challenge for a National Title next year. I am not kidding you.

But maybe I am being a bit selfish and greedy here and I won't hold my breathe but who knows?

Wojo worked with Big's at Duke didn't he and for Team USA for many years under Coach K? If they land him MU would have a class for the ages and the envy of all of College Basketball.

To me, what does Diamond Stone have to lose if he is looking on going one and done? Then I think you go to the team with the best chance to win and be close to home?

Both Ellenson's, D. Stone and S. Taylor, Cheatham and Heldt on the frontline can get you a national title if you get some guard in here who can shoot and play D!

In one fell swoop there is atleast a Final Four team even if you would have 2-3 one and done's!

If he picks UConn. . . then I will relax. But I would hope the kid would go to Bo Ryan, Georgetown, UCLA with Looney, Michigan State with Izzo or UConn with Ollie.

But if he decides to come to MU....my oh my oh my! 1977 all over again. Call me what you like, but I'm serious. That might be the top recruiting class ever here and in the entire nation.

One can dream can't they? Keep Hope Alive! Go MU Go!
