Some of those bluebloods are also glamorous and vice versa.  

Glamorous is in the eye of the beholder. MU is glamorous.

Diamond Stone is in a very nice position. He can choose exactly where he wants to go. I see three choices . Local, Blue Blood, Glamour. If comes down to local it is Us Versus Wisconsin, Blue Blood UNC, Duke , Kentucky and Glamour UCLA. At this point I put the probability weighting as equal so we have a one in six chance at getting him.  That is actually a pretty high chance. When Magic Johnson was being recruited Michigan State switched coaches in the middle of the process. Johnson loved Gus Ganakas and had no clue about Jud Heathcoate. He was also looking at Michigan, UNC and UCLA.At the end of the day the mother and father had the most influence and they pushed him to stay home where they knew he would thrive. I think our best asset right now is that Deonte and Duane are enjoying the overall school experience. Kids influence other kids more than you would think.

Some of those bluebloods are also glamorous and vice versa.  

I was just using the classifications local, blue blood and glamour based on how I have seen kids look at things in the past. Obviously UCLA is blue blood if you look at them over a long period of time. I just felt that based on recent performance it is the glamour of their location set up against Beverly Hills, Bel Air West Hollywood etc that is their draw. UNC Duke and Kentucky have high visibility etc but I look at their primary appeal as basketball first . Clearly we are local along with Wisky. It seems like local is a big consideration for the family so I continue to believe we are right there. If the decision is deferred until later in the senior year, we have a chance to show on the court the why we are the best choice.

Marquette is a gold blood which is equal or better than most blue bloods.

I haven't been following his recruitment too closely, but is he expected to make a decision soon or no time table currently?

Nothing seems imminent.  I would guess nothing until late summer or early fall.

I don't think there is any reason to believe he'll show his cards before the fall signing period.
