A source from Domican HS has let me know that Diamond Stone is a badger lean >:(. Im not thrilled with the news but this source works closely with Stone.
Apocalypse Now!!!!!!!If that happens it will surely be WW III
I thought that he was hoping to play in the NBA someday. We'll see.
He's choosing UW because they didn't lose to K-State in a scrimmage.

"Works closely"? What, like, sits behind him in Geometry II?
My guess is that the "source" is a Badger fan and "Badger lean" means Stone said he knows who Bo Ryan is.
My source says those who have no clue how to spell, when to capitalize or how to use proper grammar have slightly less credibility than Jayson Blair.
Well, Diamond Stone did retweet this: "@DyinYoung25: Just imagine if @Loon_Rebel5 and then @Diamond_Stone33 joined @samdek1 at UW. With those 3 together it would just be unfair!! #FinalFour"

This tweet implys Looney is not a 1 n done... good for him staying in school if that's the case.

No it doesn't.
Some random dude from Janesville tweeted that he'd like to see those guys play together at UW. That is all.

Looney is not going to Madison. The Duke thing is almost a done deal according to one of my friends and fellow teachers who is a writer for a Badger publication.
What does your source say as far as MU is concerned?

HA HA,
I understand that P. But in taking the tweet literally, Looney would have to be a sophomore for him and Stone to play together thus this particular tweet, whether accurate or not, IMPLYS Looney is not a 1 n done. That's all I was getting at.
He's likely going to Duke.
He's likely a 1 n done talent.
This tweeter is full of a giant pile of $hizzel

Is your source a faculty member?
Can he/she spell?
I've heard strong rumors too, and it is what it is. A lot can happen yet, but if things continue to play out as its going....
I wouldn't be surprised to see looney at duke and stone at Kentucky.

Would not be good for us and recruiting to lose two in our backyard.
would much rather see Stone at UK or Duke than at UW
Just hate when you guys attack info "from a source" or demand to know who the source is -- take it for what it's worth. And if you don't know the guy or think he's clueless, obviously you don't deem his info credible. I once had an intern who also worked in the athletic office and she would tell me a ton of stuff going on in the bball office. If I had ever "outed" her, she would have lost her job. This guy heard something, he's telling you. Big deal.
I've also heard from more than one person that Stone likes UW over MU, and has for a while. Big deal. He probably isn't going to either.
He also retweeted this:
Ryan Ellerbusch @RyanEllerbusch 20 Jun
Top 4 WI 2015 prospects in @Diamond_Stone33 @Hjellenson @C23Schwartz have all been offered by Marquette. @NickNoskowiak has committed. #mubb
High school players like when the media talks about them and will try to showcase that publicity.

Checked with a few sources very close to Diamond today. I would say your source is a bit off the mark.

And by works closely with Stone you means he's the gym teacher at Dominican.

Hmmmm.... Mark Miller or NateDogg..... whose word to trust......
Crap. My sources have him as a strong Mt. St. Mary's lean.
I think I should reevaluate my sources credibility.
He is only going to be a junior this year, he will probably change his mind 50 times before he makes his decision. Duane Wilson will take him to open gym 20 times or more in the next
few years, if he likes who MU has, MU will have an edge there. to early to even think about him. More concerned about finding 2 bigs for 2014.

Shouldn't be difficult concepts for a well-sourced college graduate.

Mark Miller can spell and seems to have a grasp of the English language, but I don't know if he is a highly connected educator.

This.
His "lean" a year or more before he actually commits, much less signs, is pretty meaningless.

A school from outside of Milwaukee that finds itself in the New Big East.

It's also meaningless when Duke, UNC, and Kentucky haven't actually offered yet.

Your right I took a job once to provide for my family. Cant believe you are holding this against me?
FYI: I have not worked there for 7 years!!
Tell me which company you were the CEO of when you were 23?
There is no way that you went to school.
