Sorry to start a new thread but I heard from two prominent boosters at the game that Mr. Stone is open to listening to what MU has to offer. They seemed excited about the possibility, personally I am extremely skeptical. But usually these guys know their stuff. Anyone know if there is truth to the rumor? Sounds like Wojo and staff haven't given up hope yet. Certainly the kid is changed his list more than once.

Truth.
Was Stone at the game yesterday?
Good to hear. No sense giving up until Stone signs with someone. It's not likely, but stranger things have happened.
I heard Wojo said thanks, but no thanks!

No joke, just what I heard. Too much baggage from the "enterage"
Diamond was just looking for tickets this weekend, move along, Wojo didn't fall for it.
I think it is highly unlikely Diamond signs with Marquette. But as several posters noted, stranger things have happened.
To indulge for a moment, should he sign with us, we arguably could have the Number 1 recruiting class in the Nation. With the returning talent we have and the experience from this year, we could be a Top 10 team next year and, perhaps, even better. Certainly, two years from now we would be unstoppable. Especially if everyone is back.
It's a little delusional to think this is going to happen. On the other hand, given where we were just seven short months ago, to even imagine this scenario is an incredable development and one for which I am extremely pleased.
Keep it up Coach Wojo!
Kids are funny. It wouldn't surprise me that when Duane had his string of good games that it caught Diamonds attention. Would love to have him aboard.
If we can scratch and claw our way to the tournament anything is possible..
I don't bother going to the BadgerMoron board, because it's so hard reading internet posts written in crayon.
But if Diamond signed with MU, I'd have to go over just to see what it's like to watch a website explode...
I mentioned long ago that Stone played with Wilson for 4 years at Dominican, played AAU Ball at times
with Ellenson, and Noskowiak. Plus Stone could start immediately. I was told that all this info was erroneous.
Stone may not verbal to MU, but if he does, you guys will hear it. If not, rip me. This is nothing against Heldt
or Henry E. Look at the Duke rosters (Don't know this year), Lots of tall timber. Big guys like Ryan Kelley,
can shoot from out (Henry Ellenson) and rebound like Stone, Heldt and Fischer. Heldt and Fischer can shoot from outside also. So with quick, athletic guards and wing players who can shoot we should be formidable.
Hope Wojo is up to coaching this talent. I think so. He will make his team.

Can we avoid this classic Badger practice of trotting out endless allusions to a kid's "baggage" and "character" when they are not interested in our school. I'd prefer MU fans were not as predictable as Madison's.
Unless you can give some concrete information on said "baggage" it just comes across as sour grapes.

The OP made specific reference to a supposed renewed interest in MU by the Stone camp, so there really can't be any sour grapes. Regardless of how Stone feels towards MU, any interest would not be reciprocal.
He's not coming.
These are just my thoughts. The players Stone has played with are coming to MU. HOPEFULLY, he will
follow. I don't think he is coming and he is not the savior but would be a BIG welcome. I hope there is
a connection.
Think Luke is a very talented player and he plays beyond his potential.

That's fine.
But there's no need to take subtle -or not so subtle - shots at the kid's character, or the character of those around him.
Let's leave that to our friends from the west.

I would love it if Stone came to MU. I'm not trying to tear him down because he's not coming to MU. I'm just relating what I've been told. Which is, he has expressed interest in MU lately and MU has said no thank you because he has people close to him who are looking to get paid.

Denver,
I don't doubt you, but hope you are wrong. Interesting to know that the high and mighty badgers continue to be interested.
Does anyone remember a few years ago where a Spartan insider was posting on the Badger board that Buzz was willing to pay Brandon Dawson's handlers.....and then when completely silent when Dawson chose Sparty? Be careful about the insinuations.

And then Izzo got an NCAA suspension for paying said handler for "coaching" at his elite camp after driving BD to and fro Lansing. Squirm-O-Meter check.
The few times I've seen stone he was really mature. I couldnt care less if he comes with handlers or ready to go pro. As long as he isn't doing anything illegal or hurting anyone I will consider him a good kid. Honestly, I think we have worst character issues on this team and definitely in years past.

WHO?
Folks, this is a high school kid here. He has his virtues -- one of which probably is his ability to play basketball at a high level -- and his vices. He's no different than many of us when we were his age. Let him grow up.
If he comes to Marquette, God love him, we may have something very special in the works again. If he goes somewhere else, we should wish him well -- just not too well!
If he goes to Tech School, I hope he enjoys Madison!
Lets put this to an end right now. Whether or not Stone is interested in MU, I don't know. What baggage Stone has, I have no clue, sounds like the typical sour grapes to me.
But I will tell you unequivocally that Diamond Stone will not be attending MU. I hope nothing but the best for the guy, but he will not play for Marquette no matter how interested he is(which I don't really think he's interested).
Let's all just move on and focus on the what we have as a recruiting class next year and how much better the current team will be at the end of the season.

I'm more referring to the various negative insinuations that get thrown under the "source" umbrella that are either blatantly fabricated or lazily passed around like how the class learned how serious Ferris' illness was.
You say judge you on your record on the board, which we should, and does substantiate your information to an extent. But for every one "ironclad source" that is valid, there's a dozen that fall into the "bo cooled on him" camp of bollocks.
Edited to add:
I'm especially reluctant to believe any unnamed source who has something negative to report about a player or situation. It's much to easy to "leak" that someone has a bad test score, or people don't like playing with RGIII, or Dez Bryant is a diva, or whatever to manipulate a situation to the benefit of whoever is doing the leaking.

So if I said my source was Wojo, that makes me more believable?
Honestly, every time a respected poster puts something up here from an "unnamed source," it usually ends up to be fairly accurate. I include mu03eng in that mix. I appreciate the info.
This in part is why these boards exist. So that knowledgeable people can pass along information. It is up to the audience to judge whether or not the information is worthy of our attention.

They can be named. That's MUENG03, he has a long history of posting correct inside information on this site. Similar to Big Daddy Dillard. Or wadesworld.
Could they be making stuff up? Sure. But they have made enough predictions that have ended up coming true for me to give them the benefit of the doubt? Yes. It's not like they are posters like ThatDude who makes negative prediction after negative prediction that don't end up coming true.

So let me see if I understand this.
If I, as anonymous internet poster, tell you fact X I heard from a source about Marquette it's very suspect. However if I, anonymous internet poster, also tell you that fact X was heard from an assistant coach the information is then verified???
You do realize that two "facts" verifying each other from an anonymous poster in no way make either verified, yes? How does my telling you my source make my information any more or less credible? I can just as easily make up the source as the information.

You do realize that people often are told things in confidence, and by revealing sources that person could be ruining relationships or worse, don't you?
Would you require citations for every piece of information that people might hear and care enough to share like some sort of bibliography?

One last thing, badgering posters to "prove it," will only drive the posters with good information away, while it will likely not deter those with bad information from continuing to post.

He is either credible as a poster...or he isn't.
ATWIZ, So just as a Recap MUENG says STone is not coming here for sure iron clad. If he does not come that means MUENG passed on Accurate or reliable Info. If Stone comes to MU then MUENG's info or contacts cannot be deemed reliable. When you throw in ironclad he is stating as close to fact as he thinks possible. But with most info you also need to understand that with dealing with 16 year old kids that things can change so saying everything he stats will happen is not the same as could or May happen. You need to look at the Body of work. IE if someone stats MU is in the lead for a recruit is not saying he will come, Just that we are at or near the Top of his choices at that time.
For the record, if I share info with y'all, it's the gospel. No chit.
Yep. A few posters have proven they have inside info by continually providing valid info. E.g. Big Daddy.
Choose to believe them or not. What their source or type of source is immaterial. If they have shown they get it right a lot, then that is all that we need to know.
I'll love to see Big Daddy's list of who we are recruiting for the spring and for 2016. I'm guessing a Wing and a Point Guard. Maybe a rebounding type of PF.

Trucks, I get all that. Anyone making predictions, ironclad or not, has a 50% chance of being right. The source of his info helps us decide if the prediction has more than a 50/50 chance of being correct and believable. If we cannot know how credible his source is, that reduces the odds from iron clad to, well, 50/50, or opinion. No biggie.

Oh and my Nigerian cousin is also having trouble accessing his enormous wealth due to an unfortunate government paperwork issue. If you could provide the $10,000 required to clear up the paperwork issue he would be more than happy to share some of his wealth with you.
Thanks

Thanks for the info on DS. I trust your posts and respect not only you keeping your source's confidence, but also the process.
That's the important part.

The World Cup in Brazil was a disaster for Nigeria - 0-3 in pool play, they didn't even score a goal. The coach was distraught. After berating his players in private, he brought all the fans who had made the trip from Nigeria in support of the team into the locker room. "We've embarrassed ourselves, but worse, we've embarrassed our fans and our country. You have endured great expense to come to Brazil to support us, a grave injustice which we intend to rectify. All of your travel costs - airfare, lodging, meals and tickets - will be refunded to you by our soccer foundation. Let's get this done - please form a single file line and have your bank information ready...."

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I've been locked up in a Mexican jail without enough cash for bail. If you would PM me your bank info I could get out and pay you back, plus another 5 hundred for your trouble.
It wouldn't surprise me if members of Stone's extended group had their hands out and I think any reasonable person could figure out the 2 schools in his final 4 that are alive because of that reason.
It also wouldn't surprise me if after assembling the class he has that Wojo simply says thanks but no thanks. Wojo's dealing with a pretty big deal in Henry, he may want to keep Henry being the big deal.
I bet if Diamond showed this much interest in April, he'd be coming to Marquette.

Absolutely not. I've shared on this board that Wojo has no credibility - yet some don't believe me (as the source of that information.) ;D
Well played, Ners!
ATQiz, I still dont think you get it.

Anyone making predictions, ironclad or not, has a 50% chance of being right.
As mentioned by several others, it does matter who makes the prediction as several posters have proven themselves of having reliable sources as their predictions often come to fruition.
Quote from: ATWizJr on December 09, 2014, 10:21:28 AM
The source of his info helps us decide if the prediction has more than a 50/50 chance of being correct and believable. If we cannot know how credible his source is, that reduces the odds from iron clad to, well, 50/50, or opinion. No biggie.
Look at it this way, mu03eng has made several predictions that have often come true. He is a very reliable poster. His source, who is unnamed, has helped him with these predictions. If unnamed source gives info that leads to credible predictions, said unnamed source is reliable, right? So reliable unnamed source should be considered credible, right?
Though, I do hope he is wrong and we land Stone ;)

I'm hearing from Wojo himself that the NCAA has granted Dwyane Wade his 4th year of eligibility and he will be joining MU's class of 2015. Eligible next year. Wojo is my source. It is true.
Do we have a schollie available?

Wojo's a Nigerian prince?
As I thought about this more, it came to me that I might actually trust people who don't list their sources more. It might be broken logic, but I think anyone who publicizes that they got information from a coach or staff member either doesn't have very interesting information or is lying. Any coach who gives out juicy information would ask that it be kept confidential. So maybe no source is more trustworthy.
Anyone graduating at the semester that wants to transfer in? We could use it...
I have also heard Stone to Marquette won't happen. There is a lot of smoke around this story at the moment, but I think the actual fire was extinguished pretty quickly.

Don't doubt it. Hard heard Wojo may have inquired as to whether Stone would be interested in Marquette with a new coach running the show. Haven't heard anything since, maybe Stone said thanks but no thanks, maybe he said absolutely but Wojo heard something he didn't like, or maybe there's mutual interest. Sounds like the last option probably is the least likely.

My favorite are the guys who are vague (so and so MAY not be back, for example). If the guy does come back, well, they never said definitely, so they're not wrong. And if the guy doesn't come back, they and their "sources" nailed it.

Unless something significantly changes, not a chance, regardless of interest

Eng, are you able to say who the "non interest" is from? I'm hearing it may be from our coaching staff. Am I right possibly? :). Thanks

I have heard similarly
I know Chris Carrawell was in Wausau last night to watch James Gallon of Stevens Point Pacelli. Mhis brother was on the Mercer team that beat Duke last year. He's averaging about 30+ a game against mostly small-ish schools. 6' 4" pure shooter, average athleticism, needs to get stronger, but has range.

Same, but I'm just a guy that won't name sources.
Just my opinion, but I think Stone is a one-and-done - even if he is not ready yet after his freshman year and that may be why the interest isn't there.
I think we may well get three years out of Henry in part because his brother will be here two years and Henry needs time to get his body NBA-ready.
