?  You said it was a done deal.  He was just going through his recruitment to please his father.  Right?

Negativity into every thread?  Well, you're welcome, I guess.

I like the prediction but how much weight can we put behind a recruiting insider who has less twitter followers than I do?  He has 1% of the followers of Jerry Mayer.  Has anyone ever heard of Matt Gravett before?

If Golden Boy ends up correct about Stone, I hope that you eat some well deserved crow. At the point that Diamond commits to MU, (assuming that that happens) saying that Golden Boy really didn't know and got lucky will be a cop out, IMHO.

So you really think Stone has his mind already made up?

No, or he would announce.  But, that doesn't mean that MU couldn't be a strong leader for him right now.

One prediction a year early means nothing. While I think we're at least in decent shape, this recruitment won't mean much until Duke, Kentucky, and Kansas get involved. Then we'll know how solidly we are in there. Nothing wrong with hoping for Stone, but thinking that this has the slightest bit of meaning is just silly.

I'd love to get Stone...but let's remember how well predictions work out.  A few days ago, most people (outside of Madison, at least) were pretty sure Looney would be committed to Duke by now....

I hope that young Mr. Stone makes the choice that is in his best interest.   I have my opinion of where I think that is.   But whatever his choice is, good luck.

As almost everyone involved has said, Looney's decision followed a very unusual path.

Sure did, but makin' a bad decision was not an option. Just some better than others and a lot to take into consideration. I can divulge that Kevon's choice was not solidified until Wednesday night. Kept goin' back and forth between Duke, Florida, Tennessee, and UCLA.
I give Steve Alford a lot of credit. He absolutely sold Looney on UCLA during his official visit. Alford comes across to most as rather pompous, but, I'm told, is really down to earth and a good family man. It's a new beginnin' with Kevon the focal point of his first recruitin' class. Great school, great campus, great facilities, great tradition. It's all good and of the 6 finals for Kevon's services, I think he made a terrific choice to help prepare for the next level. I, and others  ;), expect him to play only one season of college ball before declaring for the Association. Yes folks, he's that good.
BTW, I'm thinkin' 'bout providin' Kevon with Chicos' cell number just in case he needs a good home cooked meal from time to time.

Kevon is welcome anytime. With my wife's German blood and both her parents from Wisconsin, we have plenty of Wisconsin type home cooked grub here.   :D

Doc, you are dead wrong. The world's expert on everything, Mr Sultan, has a very different opinion of Steve Alford. Let's face it - Sultan knows better than one of the nation's most storied basketball programs which entrusted its future to Mr Alford. Sultan knows better than UCLA. Hell, Sultan knows better than everyone.

That's some aggressive passive aggressiveness.

I feel like that Kevon's usage rate as a freshman may be only 19%. Diamond I will go with 24%.

Doing ok, actually.  I'm down 15 from about 2 years ago.  Lots of exercise and stress will do that.   ;)
