I know plenty.  Out of respect for the family, the kid and the recruiting process I choose not to disclose any information that ultimately could hurt any of the people or processes I listed.  Saying what I said about him originally was the most respectful way I could put my concerns.  If me saying that he may not reach his potential because of his attitude is too negative, perhaps we should just shut down scoop all together.  If you don't like it don't read it. 
Marquette basketball will continue to be successful with or without DS.  My  hope is with.

Buzz clearly wants Stone. It would be a program changing commit if he pulled the trigger for MU. Why write something in a public forum that could potentially undermine that?  Even if it's only a 0.0001% chance that it affects anything? I think that's the point.

I thought Vander decommitted because details of a private meeting regarding academics were leaked by someone on the UW side?

Did you read the article?  It has direct quotes from Vander.

So you went from some random statement about watching him play and commenting on his demeanor on the court, to "I know plenty."  Well...OK.

Says the message board police man.  The point is I didn't say anything all that negative and I went on to say how I still hope we land him.  Shame on me. ::)

Mods can we lock this thread? I feel like its going nowhere good... sort of regret starting it.

Maybe we can at least get back to the original topic?

Why are you so defensive about it?  I accurately quoted your first post, and summarized your second.

And I most certainly don't want to be a policeman about anything.  I have not reported your post to the mods or anything.  Feel free to say whatever you want to say.  I will exercise the same right however.

I don't want to get into personal attacks.  You questioned my comments and credibility, knowing full well there is no way to prove them without disclosing the information I know.  The op wanted opinions on DS, I gave mine, the end.

Sorry I was unclear. 

The Badger boards lit up because someone inside the program leaked info from a private meeting to Erick the Red and the other Badger azzhats.

My point is an insider leaked, and that was what really caused him to leave.  I think he proved to be a tough minded player at MU, and normal internet chatter wouldn't have chased him away.

I questioned your comments.

I did not question your credibility.
