Was in attendance tonight. Saw him and some friends as I was leaving. Nice game for him to attend.
He attends quite a few
Hopefully he thought "if Buzz can get 2-star DG to play like that, what can he do with a 5-star player?"
As a friend pointed out, nice for Stone to see us using two centers at once.
In addition to Stone..

Who cares. The last guy who left Wisconsin to play at UNC is averaging 3 points per game on an unranked team.
Stone's there a lot..., usually sits w Duane and others. Several high school coaches there too. West Division coach wears Marquette colors every game.

77 is correct. The grass isn't always greener out of state. I believe Stone would be very successful at Marquette because of the strong local and state fan support. Marquette is a proven winning program. He would fit right in.

averaging 3 points in 10 minutes per game this season .... and 5 minutes an 0.6 points in the last 5 games (26 total minutes and 3 total points) ... and given who UNC recruits (the top players) and given UNC's history of lots of transfers ... it is reasonable to think he will transfer.

I think we have to be careful here. No one knows how this kid is feeling. If we use the stats as an indication, we should expect, maybe even believe it reasonable, that Jamal Ferguson and Derrick Wilson will be transferring from Marquette as they have comparable statistics.

We are oversigned by 1 and a lot of people think this for the same reason as my comments about Tokoto. That said, thinking it does not mean we want it to happen. I would be very happy if both stayed but we all know someone has to get voted off the island.

They were saying he was cleared as far back as a year ago. Can't remember when Buzz first said it, but he seemed 100% confident in post-game interviews before the end of last season.
Back to the topic of Diamond Stone - he would be a HUGE get for Buzz and MU - and it seems to be a possibility.
The success of Davante Gardner, should be a great example/illustration, of how a big would be utilized and involved in Buzz's system - and can be showcased, and succeed, even if just a 2-3 star talent.
The time is drawing near where soon MU will need to be looked at as one of the blue bloods again in college hoop - hard to find 10 better programs over the past 10 years.....and Buzz has it rolling looking at what returns next year, along with what's coming in next year's freshman class.
As Buzz calls it - "starting to reap compound interest."

Where does MU stand with Ellenson? Saw him last Friday (radio PBP), will see him tomorrow night against Onalaska and Matt Thomas (doing game on tape-delay TV). He's awfully good. Questions would be poor HS coaching and all the backstuff with his dad. Plus Tubby's got the inside track with the older Ellenson now a freshman there.

Does Tubby's departure from Minnesota now give MU a better shot at Ellenson?
Random but are we sure jake Thomas is back next year? We all are looking at it from a basketball eligibility issue but I question if that's what he plans on doing. He could be graduating this spring since he is a senior academics wise. He had a great experience of two sweet 16's and free tuition. I really don't think he will find much time next yeah so is it worth it paying a year? Only he knows but I've haven't seen anyone question it.

Does it matter either way? He won't use a scholarship regardless, and doubtful he'd get much more than Frozena minutes anyway. Huge shot against Cuse and great decoy against Butler, but we're stacked at his position next year.

It could make it more difficult. A player liking Minnesota may not pick them, if they think the coach might be fired. Now that is out of the way, so it depends on how much he likes Minnesota and the new coach who will be filled with optimism on how the program will do under him.

Agree. Give Jake the option to walk on and pay his way. He can play a few minutes in non conference and be along for the ride of what should be an incredible season. He's earned that, if he wants it.
If he graduates and wants to be done playing ball, thats fine too. Dont think it makes a huge difference either way.

If you graduated, how many classes does have to take to be eligible, I would assume not many, so in saying that, his tuition may not be that much either if it is per class? Advise.
Right, I think to be a full-time grad student you only need to take 2 classes a semester.
Basically his tuition will really be little, can stay in one of his teammates rooms, so if that is the case, his out of pocket expense will be small considering MU really gave him like
$60 to $70K for two years, good deal. He will see sometime next year, depending who does not make it back.

I'm very thankful for those 2 contributions this year. At least those were meaningful unlike many guys who don't see a lot of minutes.
I always said that lets see how he does against Syracuse, he brought a dead listless team back in the game, so he helped. I can not think of anything that Juan has done and he plays
every game. I have not been much of a fan of Derrick either, but he helped last game and he will have to help on Larkin this week.

Hypothetically, isn't that a potential option for Otule next year also, depending on how things play out and if we need the extra scholarship?
Probably, but 6ish - 12ish grand isn't change in the couch cushions stuff. Also, I'd kind of hope that someone mentions that a graduate degree (if they earned it) isn't necessarily worth the investment. Getting part of one is worth even less.

I'm pretty sure this wouldn't work. The NCAA rules don't permit benefits not available to any other student--and I doubt MU lets students stay rent-free in another student's room.

And, no, you can't just sign up for six part time credit hours--to be eligible to play D1 you have to be enrolled full time.
My estimate was based on the guy above who said that full time grad school was 2 classes. (2 classes x 3 credit hours per) * $1,025/graduate credit hour as listed on this website http://www.marquette.edu/about/studenttuition.shtml
Is that right? No clue. Seems low to me too.
To be a full-time grad student at MU, you need to have 7 credits. It may be different if you are also working for the university, say, as a TA or RA, but I doubt Thomas could take classes, be a TA, and be a bball player so hed likely have to take 7 credits.

Doing a little more research:
http://www.marquette.edu/mucentral/bursar/documents/RateGuide13-14spreads.pdf
If I'm reading the MU cost details correctly, they don't specify separate full-time graduate and undergraduate tutition. The header is just "Full-time tuition rates". In fact, they incude the doctoral phase of the PT program in this chart.
So I think a full time grad student is playing 17,100 per semester.

No, it's about half of that. Grad credits are about $900-$1000 per credit

He came prepared to pay his way for three years, I'm sure one will be doable for him. Wouldn't even say it's a certainty he won't get a scholarship; there's a decent chance that two players leave and nobody additional is added which ends up leaving a scholarship open.

Does Tubby's departure from Minnesota now give MU a better shot at Ellenson?
Potentially the opposite.
Grad student tuition is usually much less than undergrad, as someone pointed out in the rate per credit. If Jake has a bachelor's degree in hand he would be entitled to go that route, assuming his academic qualifications are up to snuff. This is why I suggested that earlier.
He would not have to pay the full undergrad rate, so stop using that in the discussion.
When I attended Loyola, full time grad student meant 6 credits per semester. Looks like at Marquette its 7. What that probably means is two classes (grad classes meet once a week for 2.5 hours), and maybe one independent study or something where he reads a couple books and meets with a professor every couple weeks in office hours. Its doable. Yeah, its not chump change, still probably 15k for the year, but its preferable to an undergrad situation, and might be worth it to him. Obviously this depends on his family situation as well. Maybe his parents are in a position to cover it. Who knows.

I cannot believe tuition is THAT high now.
...and they still have the nerve to call me every couple of days asking for donations.
By the way, 'Tuition Runs out Day' is typically in late February. 12,000 kids at MU (8,000 of which are Undergrads) absolutely depend on each and every one of YOU to get from that day to May. If you haven't given a few bucks recently, a little conscience examining might be in order. We are all one family. (End of soapbox but it's important.)

Good point but there aren't 12,000 students paying their own way through MU. I'd say it's 25% at the most.

I'd be more inclined to give if they would guarantee that 100% of the donation went to a student. I don't want so much as a penny going to administrative bloat.

I'm very thankful for those 2 contributions this year. At least those were meaningful unlike many guys who don't see a lot of minutes.
People also forget he played pretty well at the Maui Invitational. His 3 point play at the end against Butler nearly lead to winning that game and he had a solid game against Mississippi State.
So, Diamond Stone?
This year obviously has to help with Looney and Stone. It shows we can already get this far for 3 years in a row. Bring in next years class, and either of those two, and the sky is the limit. They could play here with friends, have a legitimate chance to win a title, and be local legends.

Had to add that in there.
Get to the elite 8 or final four this year and that's what those two will see: themselves as the missing piece to a rising program that already has national recognition.
Diamond named to U16 MDNT. Heads back to Colorado Springs in 2 months, with good chance to then head to Uruguay.
Henry Ellenson, DJ Williams (Simeon) are among the other names on the roster. Info HERE. (http://latenighthoops.com/usa-basketball-names-23-to-the-u16-2013-14-mndt/)

We have some very nice ties to some top tier talent coming up the pipeline.... things could potentially get BETTER from here.
Diamond Stone.

Anybody else find it weird how closely BeeJay follows teenage boys around?
You guys think Stone reads these comments?
Lets hope that Buzz isnt in Minneapolis that board seems to think that it is a done deal.
But they also thought SHaka was a done deal as well

If he does, maybe he'll find it in his heart to donate some money to poor MU students.

Guess the talk about Diamond Stone is done.
Stone and Ellenson both named to the U16 USA Dev Team.

+1
So, this one is worth a bump. We're in the Elite 8 in a rebuilding year. Hey Diamond, imagine what we could do with you!
