Diamond Stone

[Ellenson Guerrero]

That may be the case, but Diamond himself tweeted that November 21st was the day.

The article discusses that:

Heard the dude was dismissed from Athlete's Performance in The Quon for bein' lazy. Take a pass.

Not the first time I've heard that concern about him. He tends to play up to the competition level, though. I'm sure he'll be fine in college.

Sounds like a comment on the Badger board when they miss on a player.

Yeah, I don't think Marquette should be passing on any top 10 guys because he was lazy at some gym.

Y'all, Athlete's Performance is a fee for service trainin' facility dedicated to workin' with  athletes to become the best they can be. Same place J. P. Tokoto worked out at while in high school. The fact that Stone was dismissed speaks volumes about his commitment.
As the Russian dude so eloquently phrased it speakin' 'bout Jason Kidd, "Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you."

While his apparent lack of effort and body language drives me crazy when I have watched him play, I still wish he was coming to MU. Landing Henry took the sting away a bit for me about Stone, but he was guy I was hoping we get since he was in eight grade.

I know full well what it is.  I also know what Diamond did on Team USA...on the AAU circuit...in high school.  I'll take him.

C'mon, man. Everybody knows we passed because Wojo cooled on him!

Every single D1 program would love to have Diamond join their squad. I have no doubt that if he called Wojo today and said he had a change of heart and wanted to come to MU, he would have a scholarship no hesitation.

Not me. Couldn't be happier about the guy MU got.

You can have both you know.  They can be on the same court.

[Silkk the Shaka]

Right, the two are not mutually exclusive. The fact that we even got one is still amazing though.

We didn't pass on him.

We didn't pass on him.

I know.  But you aren't quoting me in context.  I was responding to 4ever saying "Heard the dude was dismissed from Athlete's Performance in The Quon for bein' lazy. Take a pass."

MU is not getting Stone. Thanks to Ellenson's commitment, I'm not losing any sleep over that fact.

[wadesworld]

Ain't no good.

[MUfan12]

Ain't no good.

Enough about his test taking, what about basketball?

[Tums Festival]

Henry has repeatedly said he wants skill development and how driven he is to improve. I don't recall hearing that same mantra from Diamond Stone. Would it be incredible if he did an about face and decided to come to Marquette? Of course! But that's not happening! My only interest in Diamond Stone is hoping he chooses anyone other than Becky. And if he does end up there, that will be that.

Can't wait to see Henry in a MU uniform and watch all the great things he's going to do.

I don’t think Wojo is either.  How do you get Lazy and All In to coexist without affect the Team Chemistry?

Might take awhile yet to get the commitment, but still feeling confident Diamond Stone ends up at Wisconsin.

Done deal.

Hope the kid enjoys his redshirt year.  He'll be becoming eligible to play just in time to see the players ranked around him playing in the first NBA games.

[GGGG]

I hope he goes to Wisconsin.  I think the one or two years Stone and Ellenson match up will be a lot of fun.

Top player in WI ... Diamond Stone or Henry Ellenson? So close reminds me of 2005 when Marcus Landry and Wesley Matthews were seniors.
