Just tweeted "nice game wisconsin." Could this week have gone any worse!
This is a MU board. Who gives a f@ck about bucky?
Wow?
Haven't really followed Stone closely, does he ever tweet about MU games?
His cousin (Evans) plays for WI. Don't read too much into it.

. We need to tweet diamond the score of this years game to change his mind sounds like he is ready To commit
I saw the other day Stone tweeted "Doritos Locos tacos are yummy". He is definitely a Taco Bell lean.

No, he just ATTENDS the games ... Like Syracuse and ND.
A tweet? A TWEET!?!
Might as well burn this motherfucker down

Sorry, but I refuse to worry about what a 16 year old kid is tweeting.
Every badger fan has been tweeting diamond stone. Just heard from a badger fan that he is about to call Bo and accept. (No teal)

Who told you that? UW18?
Some guy on twitter. I'm just freaking out. This week has been horrible. It said they look at ken Pom which means badgers definetly get 4 or 3 seed. Our whole year has been ruined by one game
I missed something. Which one game has ruined MU's year?
Please don't feed the village idiot.
The ND game. Stone gets 4 free days where the badger faithful can get in His and maybe Duane Wilson's ear too

Bracket matrix has MU as a 4...UW as a five...as of Noon.
With Oklahoma State and Arizona losing, even with a UW win and Syracuse win, I think both schools might end us as a four.

Quote from the Kenosha Warrior's thread entitled "A season as an MU fan":
"-I noticed that (5 star recruit) decided to wear a red trimmed shirt to the scrimmage "Madison Lean??" [stated during Midnnight Madness]
So, I guess he is fulfilling his own prophecy 6 months early.
Pretty much
Stone is a Georgetown lean. But there's still 2+ years before he leaves for college. Lots of game left.
In my opinion, he will be a good college player, but he will not be a program changer. Again, don't mean to say he sucks, but don't see him being any more of an impact player than Davante is (also not saying Davante sucks, just not what you'd think the top player in the country coming into college would pan out to be).
P.S. Stone will not be going to Madison. Have you seen Diamond Stone and watched him play? And if you have, have you seen Wisconsin bigs and watched them play ever since Bo Ryan became the coach at UW? Do you really think Diamond Stone belongs roaming around the 3 point line? I don't. Neither does he. The only way Stone ends up at Wisconsin is if Ryan is gone and the new coach changes the offense (which could happen...Bo is getting up there and Stone is still young).
He is only a sophomore, he will be scary good in three years, playing summer ball at MU gym with Duane Wilson, I like our chances.

I would be almost just as happy to see MU sign Ellenson. Just hope they can get one of those two guys.
Stone will be on par with Gardner in college?
Would rather have Ellenson than Stone?
Wow.

Have never seen him and haven't even really heard much about his game, but he is highly rated and a big, big boy. Would love to have either as well. I feel like, just based on location, Ellenson would be more likely to be a "UW lean." It seems like if you're from anywhere outside of the greater Milwaukee area growing up in Wisconsin your "dream" is to play for the Badgers (in football or basketball). Having said that, you'd have to think Minnesota has the inside track on Ellenson with his brother currently a freshman playing for the Gophers.
Jaybee?

Yes. Have you seen him play? I saw him get bullied around by a lanky, 6'4" "center" on White Fish Bay. Couldn't get post position on him and continually got frustrated with his "physicality." When you're 6'10" and built that big, and you're supposedly polished and the number 1 player in the country at your age, you should be dominating that matchup. There is no way Stone ends up having the impact of an Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Nerlens Noel (all top ranked big men in the past couple of years who were 1 and dones).
The scouting services must know something, at least more than most on this board. He is the #1 recruit in the country for his class after his sophomore year. Usually, the #1 kid is a program changer, so lets see how he does in next two years.
He is only 16, give it a break, the kid is a player, now it will depend how hard he wants to work in the weight room and in the gym. He is more coordinated then any center in the state.

Jamil Wilson was in the top 20 (or higher) his sophomore year (and maybe later), same with JP Tokoto, Corey Lucious was like top 5, Scott Christopherson was up there, etc. etc. Rankings change a lot between sophomore and senior years.
Heck, look at Kendrick Nunn. We were drooling because we were the "favorites" for him and he was top 15-20 in his junior year, and now he's like 85.
Point being, the kid is going to be good, but I cannot possibly see him living up to the hype that he has going for him right now. The thing that he has going for him is that big guys have a history of staying ranked high when they are ranked highly early on, whereas perimeter players change all the time. So we will see, maybe he will prove me wrong. I'm just saying that when I watched him play he did not dominate like I would have expected such a highly ranked/hyped player should. All of the above players ended up to be pretty good players in college, but none were program changers. I don't see Stone being that. I think Looney has a much better change of being that than Stone does.
Thats why I said "lets see".........
We are talking the #1 recruit here, not 20, not 10, etc.
Here are the past #1's:
John Wall
Harrison Barnes
Austin Rivers
Shabazz Muhammed
Not bad, but again lets see how the young kid plays in next two years.

Yeah, exactly. I just do not see him being on that same level. But again, they were #1 when they were seniors and Stone is a sophomore. Lots of time to develop his game, so I could be completely wrong by 2015.
Scouting services normally get it right for the first 1-20, then it is crapshoot, no scouting service knows how a kid is going to mature mentally as well as physically. But more often then
not they are very good at the top, why? They see every kid at AAU events or summer camps, but some do fall thru the creeks, this year, Otto Porter. If you recruit kids and get some in
the Top 100, your program will always be good. MU has done that, they will just have more next year. Johnson and Wilson both lead there teams to a state championship, McKay is a top
3 juco, I think those 3 will get the most time next year, but never knock out Burton and Dawson, should be fun the next few years. Next year if O'tule comes back, they will be really good.
They might have some kids who can actually put the ball in the basket, Lockett, Wilson and Anderson are challenged in that area.
I remember when Walter Downing transferred to MU. Sooo excited, yet we didn't win a Championship.
I remember when Rashard Griffiths signed with UW. Sooo bummed, yet they didn't win a Championship.
This too shall pass. MU needs to catch lightening in a bottle to win a title. A little less fortune to get to the FF.
Let the kid be a kid.
As of this moment, Diamond is a junior prom lean. Y'all need to take a chill pill, bang your old lady, or have a Guinness. Maybe all three.

You said he would par on with Gardner. I would take 80% of Anthony Davis before on par with Gardner. The kid is ranked #1 in his class for a reason.

Wisconsin is closer to Iowa, so they're certainly getting into Jameel's ear as well!
Just saw it in another thread maybe we should be concerned

Yes, we definitely need two threads discussing the same thing, started by the same person.
Just plain crazy talk. The kid sat behind me for something like 10 games this year. He can commit to MU or Bucky his senior year and still get love from all the bigs. And Ellenson is more likely to go to Minnesota than Madtown. Crazy talk.
Your seats must be pretty good, huh?
To Goose: Ellenson plays the game hard (both ends). Listed at 6-8 or 6-9 - 240. Don't know.
Stone can block shots. Take your pick.
Stone won't go to Wisconsin. Kentucky, Georgetown, Duke, Kansas, UNC, maybe. But Wisconsin? Please. Will Bo even be able to commit to being there in 3 years? If he stays in-state he'll come to Marquette.

Diamond Stone would not only be a HUGE get for MU, for for the new Big East as a whole.
A 16 year old tweets and grown men lose their minds. Embarrassing. Everyone calm down. Even if he ends up in Madison, the world will not end. Trust me.
KenoshaWarrior please be quiet, you seem uber paranoid about this. Besides, I see no way he wants to go play with a bunch of 3 pt chucking traditionals at Madison when he can play his style and be able to play with his high school teammate at MU. He will be convinced after seeing how good the team next year will play (and also how much PT Wilson is going to get as a freshman).

And what if he does? UW will still be boring and painful to watch...and Buzz will go find someone else. Not too hard to figure out.
No one is a must-get recruit.
Way too early to freak
Sheet, if Bucky BF's tOSU now, it's all but over.

Must have thought that she was a Hoo down in Hoo-ville.
I think Stone just tweeted,"Nice win, OSU." 8-)
When he saw we were a 3 and UW was a 5? I heard, after committing to Bo and UW last night after they beat IU, he had a conference call with Bo and Buzz, decommitted to Bo, and committed to MU. Any truth to this?

Are you talking about Stone or KenoshaWarrior?
Anyone know whether Buzz had any recruits at their Selection Sunday gathering? I know he's done this in the past.
