Diamond Stone

[esotericmindguy]

Yeah probably uncalled for, but it is sort of sad.

And the MU ship sailed longggg longggg longggg ago. 

Especially considering the players Marquette has accepted. The only difference is they went to a bogus high school to inflate their grades for a year to qualify. Ask yourself, would you put effort into academics if you were Diamond Stone? He'll be laughing in two years.

Except

1) you can take ACT help seminars...which I would hope Stone would look into simple tricks to guess his way to a 20.
2) You can take the ACT as many times as you want...which I would assume he has been doing

Which makes you conclude that Stone isn't very bright. I don't give a crap personally but let's not get offended when someone points it out. It's not a rash conclusion.

Would I? Absolutely, because if I was too dumb to graduate high school or get an NCAA qualifying score on my ACT, I would have minimal confidence in my ability to manage any wealth I was able to accumulate playing basketball for a few years. Being educated counts. Just ask all the former althletes that thought they were too cool for school because they're gonna make millions, but found themselves broke and without any marketable skills by age 40.

Not at all insinuating that is the case with DS. I don't know him from Adam, and he is likely to be a very successful player in the NBA and make far more money than I ever will.

I find it real ironic how the Vadger fans, who are all about academics and having higher standards than every other school including Northwestern are going to welcome Stone with open arms.

Wonder if even Silver Warrior could help this dude, hey?

I didn't know he already had a guaranteed NBA contract.

What is the expectation?  Uconn, Bucky, Okla St or Maryland (his listed final four)

What about China, Senegal, and Bakersfield?

If he goes the college route, my gut right now says Maryland.
