UNC fan site thinks its most likely MU or Bucky for Stone

[Golden Avalanche]

This.

Think of Otule. Cyclops has starred in the 5 for MU pretty much most of his healthy career!

Diamond in the center spot is pretty much a lock for most of his freshman year and the rest of his career in blue and gold.

Starred?

[Pakuni]

If that happens, they'll be cuttin' down the nets.

Put Stone and Looney in the same class, send thrm to Becy and it's still far from a lock that they're cutting down nets.
Kentucky had three top 10 kids in the class of 2012 ... and didn't make the tournament.
I4 had two of the top 4 picks in the NBA draft, and couldn't get out of the S16.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

And if Becky loses Looney and we get Stone, it will be bedlam on their boards. What's your point? Kinda seems like you actively want that to happen so you can polish Bo's knob and troll here more.

If I had a dollar for every time a scooper necessarily provoked Chicos...

[ChicosBailBonds]

Eh....life goes on.  I feel perfectly comfortable with Marquette's program.

Agree completely, but the crowd that believes Bo can't recruit and Wisconsin doesn't get pros, etc, would be beside themselves.  Odds are, they won't get those kids either, but if they do the popcorn will be going watching craziness here.

I wouldn't have known....that hideous avatar he has creeps me out so he's on ignore, but if that is what he said it is hardly surprising.  Comical, really.

I'm guessing that you meant unnecessarily.  Stay out of that tall grass Chicos!

[keefe]

It ain't bad.

Well, it certainly pales in comparison to programs boasting two lottery draft picks. Such a well stocked larder ought to be a contender for the National Championship. Only deficient coaching and erratic personal behavior on the part of leadership would prevent a team featuring two lottery draft choices from cashing in on such magnificent promise. Failure under such circumstances should trigger an immediate look into the quality of command.

Give me a break...you are either lying, a homer or delusional because if both Looney and Stone end up there in Madison along with the guys they have coming from Chicago and what they have now and the fact Bo can coach his a-- off they can win it all!

I love MU to death and respect the Badgers, but I am not stupid or an idiot.  Those two kids would be what they rarely have up there in Madison and I would be happy for them.

But you are crazy, that would be a lock. Kentucky had a major injury that year...Noel was out. You know that. If they got both...LOOK OUT!

[MUHoopsFan2]

Really?  You have a decent big man, two solid scoring options on the front line, a defensive guard in Gasser and a supposedly decent PG in Koenig.

That's a good line up.

IGNORE THAT .....it is a world beater. They would be world beaters. You really need to examine those guard UW has coming in this year and add those two kids next year. Wow.

Both UW football and basketball could be National Title contenders in two years, if they stay that long. I know this is an MU forum, but I am just keeping it real...

They are both EXACTLY what they need. If they get them both you can hide and front all you want to MU fans...and I am as big an MU fan as there is but even I would tip my hat to our cousins to the north if they get these two gems a Diamond and Looney.

Go get yourself some Dog Hause, a couple glasses of water, and find a pillow. Start posting again after your 2:00 lunch in the McCormick cafeteria tomorrow when the headache settles.

You took the troll bait..

[willie warrior]

And it would be justified.

Just a rhetorical question for those speculating about both Looney and Stone going to Bucky: Should we not be questioning why we are not in the running for both, but Bucky is? After all, the only we have in our control to stop that from happening is to land one or both.

Madison is west of Milwaukee-- which is where Marquette University is, not in the suburbs of Chicago.

I'm pretty certain UWGB isn't in the running for either of them.

Who do they have coming from Chicago?
Their class of 2014 so far encompasses a three-star kid from western Illinois.
Bo is a good coach and all, but his tourney record leaves a lot to be desired. We're talking about a guy with a 4-10 record against opponents with single-digit seeds. He's never beaten a team seeded higher than 5th.

I love MU to death and respect the Badgers, but I am not stupid or an idiot.  

You just play one on the Internet.

But you are crazy, that would be a lock. Kentucky had a major injury that year...Noel was out. You know that. If they got both...LOOK OUT!

Kentucky was 17-7 and ranked 25th when Noel got hurt. They weren't on their way to cutting down nets.
And even without Noel, they still had two top 10 recruits, the equivalent of Stone and Looney, from that year's class. And didn't make the tourney.

lol. Exactly what I thought when I read his string of posts last night.

Well, to be fair, to many Milwaukee people, anywhere in Wisconsin not named Racine or Kenosha is considered "up north."

[brewcity77]

That's a good line up.

Good lineup? Yes. World-beater? Hardly. From an on-paper perspective, it's still worse than the average starting five at UK, Duke, Kansas, UNC, or Ohio State. It probably makes them a top-ten team, but if Bo is telling Looney that he alone will result in UW cutting down nets, he must be planning Madness event with a net-cutting ceremony after the Red/White scrimmage, because they won't be Big Ten favorites with that lineup much less NC favorites.

The only one to blame for MU not having a shot at Looney is Fr. Pilarz as he consistently refused to consider moving Marquette out of Milwaukee just to gain one recruit.

How dare he?!?!?!  Must be why Wild is back...expect the announcement next friday at 5:03pm.

I heard the reason was the admin's refusal to change name back to Warriors.

Like Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc....I agree.  Sometimes teams with two top 5 picks don't win the national title.  In fact, in the twelve times it has happened, only 3 won the title....25%.
