National Signing Day

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

#4 and rename the two tallest buildings in downtown Milwaukee after Henry and Diamond.

Diamond Tower and Henry Hall?

[MUfan12]

Or Stone soured on MU because of something else?

MU's chances were never great with him, but they were dead once Buzz left. Kind of like how Henry didn't list MU when Buzz was here, but the door opened when Wojo was hired.

Different coaches, different priorities. No one was "soured."

Yo, it wasn't "some guy." It was me.

You tell him, Doc!

This board baffles me. MU is bringing in Ellenson...a legit 5-star stud. And all most guys want to obsess about is someone MU has no shot at.

Who is "most"?

I see very little obsessing.

Is discussing the same as obsessing? Is the fact that the state has two top-10 bigs at the same time, one who already has committed to MU and the other who is considering Buckyland, not at least a little interesting?

Jeesh.

Are you kidding? I see a 10+ page thread devoted to Stone. I think Vadger fans are right...MU is obsessed with UW.

Listen, people can discuss whatever they want. I simply prefer to focus on MU. Not on who may, or may not, be signing with the Vadgers.

My mini rant is over. Proceed.

[Dawson Rental]

I'm willing to overlook it,  Stone is a BEAST!!!!
Can you imagine a lineup of Fischer, Stone, Ellenson, Burton and any guard on our roster?

We could call it the "Hey, lookie here, we got three tall guys" offense.

That thread is nearly three months long. Not like it's an 11-page thread over the course of 72 hours. That would be obsession.

R-E-L-A-X.  Stone is not a Vadger, and most likely will not be a Vadger.  If we were speculating on Frank Kaminsky transferring to MU, I might see your point.  We are simply wondering, "What if a Top 2 big, in our backyard, considered matriculating cross-town and calling MU home for a year or two.  Not the craziest notion in the world considering we were in serious contention at this time last year.  I personally met both him and Duane at the Syracuse game 2 years ago.  I'm pretty sure he wasn't there for the Bradley Center popcorn.


What would you rather we discuss on Signing Day Eve, the projected allocation of minutes at Point Guard?  Because, that hasn't been debated nearly enough!

It's fine. You guys can talk about Stone as much as you want. I get it.

[94Warrior]

So glad you figured it out.  The internet is a big place, how do you find the time to read up, and comment, on topics for which you have no interest?   

And Willie, I just subbed in Steve Taylor, Jr.  My lineup is now Fischer, Stone, Ellenson, Burton and Taylor at point.

Nice to see we're upgrading our PG from last season!

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I thought the same thing bout JPT and after seeing him at most every game and selection shows etc. I have seen Diamond at more games than even JPT. So what I know understand is that they ARE there for the BC popcorn........and the comped tix of course but nothing more than that.

Maybe JPT will come "home" after UNC gets nailed for nearly two decades of academic fraud in the basketball program.

Could MU accept his credits from UNC? What's the difference between them and Jae's first junior college?

Was he in the African American studies program at UNC.  Otherwise, a big difference.

I am not as well read on the UNC situation so correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't this all take place before JPT got to UNC? I thought it had stopped right before he got to campus. If not, and if he was in African American studies, than no, Marquette probably won't take him. I think a lot of programs would shy away from him. It might be in his best interest to attempt to go pro if UNC does get slammed.

This is assuming that the NCAA doesn't fry South Carolina Upstate for the things UNC did of course

[MU82]

Exactly. As long as Tokoto wasn't taking fake classes -- and those classes appear to have stopped being offered well before he got to UNC -- there shouldn't be an issue.

I don't actually expect this to happen, but it isn't a completely out-of-left-field thought.

#donedeal.  I like a kid who decides that important things happen first thing in the morning.  Welcome Henry.  Looking forward to 3 more today and to Wojo's presser.
