Good luck, young man.
Your signing means we won't be hearing your name brought up on this board again.
Here's the latest:

Correction to the Kostas Antetokounmpo news. He's a member of the 2016 class. Doesn't matter the class. Great get regardless.
Evan Daniels @EvanDaniels · 12m12 minutes ago Saragossa, Spain
Archie Miller with a major coup in Kostas Antetokounmpo. Top 100 prospect. 6-10 with a massive wingspan. Athletic, mobile & major upside.
Should see plenty of him when Dayton joins the Big East, ehna?
Interesting case of the "gurus" liking him more then college coaches.
Kostas Durant to Dayton? The mind reels...
Is a well-being check in order for Marquette Fan in NY? He's not going to like this.....
Good for Kostas. Happy for him.
Surprised
They decided to take a Flyer on him.

I think not taking a chance him was a mistake. He was a low risk gamble and probably has some real upside. Hope the kid knocks it out of the park and wish him good luck.

Didn't even know they were in the running.
Was Daniels even a Purdue target? I don't think I have heard his name before.

Always go with your own beliefs. Don't let peer pressure or bullying influencing your thought process. Dayton considers Kostas one of their most exciting recruits of the Archie Miller era.

It's late March and he had two open schollies. He took a flyer on kid with a famous last name. Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't. From what I've heard, I'm not convinced he will actually make it to campus. Also, I read the article you posted, it said nothing about Kostas being one of his most exciting recruits. It said he was one of the highest rated. Which again goes back to the last name.

He has no motivation to hype the kid up either...
The kid was an average guy on a Division 4 WIAA team as a 6'11" senior. Marquette has never had any interest yet every time Kostas is brought up on the internet you're here posting it in the Al. Your obsession is odd.

You're telling me an aau coach hyped up a kid on his team? Really?
If he didn't have a famous last name no one would have any idea who he was. He didn't even start for his WIAA D4 team until this year despite having a foot on almost everyone else. Without his brother he'd be a mid major prospect at best, more likely a low major

Mr. Wilson has zero incentive to over hype a kid. He is running a successful business and his stock in trade is giving honest assessments . I trust Mr. Wilson's judgement.
Florida , which the last time I looked, is a pretty good program, also offered Kostas.
The "Kostas has no talent" argument has been decided in the favor of " he has talent".
You seem to know a lot about recruiting. The very first thing all coaches look at in every sport is the athletes blood lines. Every college sports questionnaire a kids fill out has a spot for siblings. The fact that his two older brothers are complete studs is only a positive. There is zero negative in that.
Do You think it hurt Wes Matthews that his dad was Wes Matthews and his mom was an incredible track athlete?
I am sure Arizona was delighted that Luke Waltons dad was Bill Walton.
In all likelihood we are going to offer Zaire Wade. Is that a bad thing?
Wait, I think I figured it out. Marquette Fan in NY is actually UDPride. This was all just a really long con set up to make Marquette fans look like terrible people to the Kostas camp so Dayton could get him all to themselves. Damn you UDPride.

Aau coaches have a ton of incentive to hype their kids. It's their job to get their players into quality programs. The better programs the kids go to, the better of a coach he's percieved as.
I'm not sure what argument you are trying to make with Wes. It's not a bad thing to have good bloodlines. But that and height are the only things Kostas has going for him.
I'm sure you know that an "offer" is worth the paper it's written on. It essentially means the school is kicking the tires. Yes Florida "offered." They also cooled on him and rescinded said "offer." As did Purdue, as did st. Johns, as did every other high major program who "offered" him.
If Kostas had talent, he wouldn't have come off the bench for a wiaa d4 team and struggled against the 6"1 kids defending him. He has a famous last name, height, and length but he's not very good at basketball. Maybe he will develop into one, you can teach basketball but not the things Kostas has. But from what I've heard, I'd be surprised if he actually plays long enough at Dayton to get to that point.

This may be the most logical thing posted on Scoop since February 21, 2015.
The bad thing for Kostas is that Archie will be gone in the next year or two. He's gets mentioned for a lot of coaching vacancies, his brother Sean is at Arizona and Archie will be in a major conference soon.

1. AAU coaches hype their players all the time.
2. Coaches look at bloodlines, but they don't let that overwhelm good basketball judgement like fan boards do.

Florida - false.
Travel team coaches talking up a player publicly - the norm.
Zaire - "in all likelihood"?
Bloodlines - do you understand how many kids of athletes there are. You hear a lot about 'oh he's so and so's son' when they are very good, but most aren't. And, those that are good, many are good in a different way (i.e., have different games/styles)... physical attributes can be seen and measured. Mental aspects can be evaluated. Not sure "bloodlines" does anything more for you. Hey, Ellwood Ellenson is a senior who could come over and play immediately.. and plays a position of need, power forward. Rebounder, defender. Just what the doctor ordered. AND, his brother just got drafted in the first round of the NBA draft. You in????
Bloodlines.
Jeffrey and Marcus Jordan.
Need I say more?

It could be, if he turns out to be a medicore at best high schooler missing core HS classes with no solid offers through both the fall and spring signing periods who we offer simply because of his last name.
That won't be the case though, will it?

Some of the sentiment on the Dayton Board. They are obviously very excited about Kostas......

Why do you think Kostas came off the bench at a D4 WIAA high school? Coaches kid ahead of him? Mind games? Just trying to make it fair for the other team? I personally think he's not very good at basketball. What's your take?
A lot of virtual ink on a kid we'll probably never play against. I was one who had some interest but yesterday's news now.
If Kostas played in any other state, no one would care. Our staff had more of a chance to see him than most schools and we weren't interested. Whether it's ability, worry about academic standing, or how he fits, they know what they want and the lack of any interest or offer clearly shows he's not it. Time to move on.

Archie Miller thinks he is very good at basketball. The Draft Express people indicate he is someone the NBA is monitoring. They don't waste time monitoring people who cannot play. Domincan was also the home of Diamond Stone and Duane Wilson, who the last time I checked were pretty good players.

So....you don't have answer for why he didn't start for a Division 4 WIAA team.
I have an answer for why he is rated so high and why the NBA is monitoring him. His last name and his height.
I'll accept that he has upside. But that's all that he's got going for him right now. He's simply not very good at basketball right now. He might get better, but I doubt he will spend enough time at a college to get to that point.

He might work hard to realize his potential, at a JUCO or in Europe. I have my doubts it will be at Dayton or any other D1 program.
All I was trying to get you to realize is that while Kostas does have upside because of his size and last name, he isn't very good at basketball right now. There is overwhelming evidence to support that fact. He could be the next Greek Freak, certainly possible but that doesn't make him any better right now.
And yes you are right, he did start his senior year. After riding the bench his first three despite his high ranking and massive size. Even when he finally started, he wasn't even close to dominate. Dominate is the only adjective that should be used for a high major player who's a senior in D4 WIAA.
That's all I got. I'll drop it after this.
Is there anyways you can drop this Bone.

Archie Miller, believes in Kostas strength of family which I believe is one of his strong points. Says he has immense potential. This kid wants a coach who believes in him and Miller does.

And clearly Wojo didn't, so let's give it a rest. Kostas is going elsewhere, best of luck, was never going to get an offer here regardless.

I'd like to have MU meet up with anyone in the tournament. Dayton means less then nothing to me.

Nobody cares. Give it up. He wasn't wanted. Best of luck to him. Join Dayton's basketball forum if you want somewhere to post every time his name is posted online.

Why would that be fun? There's no rivalry anymore between us, we didn't go after kostas so it's not like he'd be against that team he spurned, he has no connection to MU other than living in MKE for a short while. In fact the only reason you should be saying itd be fun is if you're so obsessed with the idea we should've gone after him that you'd want him to kick our a$$ in which case you're like the worst MU fan ever.

No he didn't sign an NLI with Dayton. That's completely false. Don't believe everything you read. Didn't happen and will not ever happen

Yep, the NLI period ended in May, so all Kostas can sign are institution-specific paperwork. In essence, he is still a free agent until he enrolls as a full-time student for the first semester.

Not quite a free agent since he has signed financial aid / scholarship papers, but you're right on the NLI.
The journal sentinel got it wrong and Marquette Fan In NY believed it. Further, he posted more non-news re: Kostas on the Hanging' at the Al board of this site.
The interesting news will be if/when Kostas hits the floor in a real game this winter as an eligible student-athlete.

I agree with this analysis.

Here is what Dayton said on their website, which the Journal Sentinel took their story from :
DAYTON – University of Dayton men's basketball coach Archie Miller has announced that Kostas Antetokounmpo, a 6-foot-10, 190-pound forward from Athens, Greece, has signed to play at the University of Dayton.
(Pronunciation: COAST-us Ah-day-toe-KOON-boe)
The point is he is enrolling in the school .
Yes, the interesting news will be if he is certified by the NCAA and actually plays.
We won't know those details until later.

How do you know what the JS based their national letter of intent comment on? Obviously they didn't get that from Dayton's press release.
And long ago you posted that Kostas had committed to Dayton. This "news" didn't change anything re: "the point is he is enrolling in the school"... so if that was the point, why did you post the misinformation re: an NLI being signed?
The point is, you posted something that was factually incorrect and added nothing to a topic that you continue to go on and on about, even though it has little to nothing to do with MU basketball.

If you are going to make ad hominem attacks please look at the fact pattern.
I first posted what the Journal Sentinel said:
"Whitefish Bay Dominican graduate Kostas Antetokounmpo signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at Dayton."
There is no intent of misinformation there.
You claim the JS is factually incorrect. I noted your clarification in a prior post even though there is nothing to support your position in the public domain . I took the charitable position to acknowledge you are correct in your position and restated that Kostas is enrolling , which a Dayton PR person could construe as "signing" and which the JS construed as a National Letter of Intent.
I get that you consider yourself the Guru of all things NCAA rules related. However, there are others who have real time experience in these matters as well. So not really necessary to mark your territory so hard.
Lighten up and enjoy the summer.

Huh? Facts and reality support my "position", pal.
The NLI signing period ended May 18, well before Kostas was Dayton-bound. That date is "in the public domain" and even you could find it with a quick search.
My position that the JS and you are incorrect in stating that Kostas signed an NLI is clear and supported by readily available facts.
You're being an idiot.
Kostas who?
