Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I assume this is a fall commitment by Stone to whatever team he chooses. 

Any reason to believe that he will commit earlier?

If it is MU, it sure would be nice to get an early commit, as it would be a great recruiting tool to add another player. 

Good point.

Moreover, the earlier his commitment, the more resources we can expend recruiting others, ie, instead of going to watch stone play, the coaching staff can watch a potential recruit.

Milwaukee's Best, not Natty Light.

Love me some Natty Light. But I do agree with some previous posters that it will be a fall commitment and signing.

TAMU, Knower of Ball

We're up to 7 predictions for MU. Love having Gravett and Meyer on our side. The rest are Kentucky and Duke Insiders. Those make me optimistic as well because if there are any two programs that could sweep up a recruit in a heartbeat.

Did Stone have a visit to Duke recently? I'm trying to figure out why four Duke Insiders would call him for Marquette within days of each other.

Still, won't celebrate until an announcement is made

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

I would say there's a 50% chance that the other Duke "insiders" are just riding Slater's coattails and a 50% chance that they actually know/heard something down in Durham.

Coaches do spend a lot of time going to see players that have already committed, but it would free resources a bit.

I would welcome Mr. Stone.   The minutes shakeout and affect down-roster from his arrival will be interesting to watch.  Is he truly a one-and-done?   Or a 2-and-done?   Would his presence require Buzz to keep two bigs on the floor at the same time?    If so, are either talented enough to play around the foul line in Buzz's offense?    What then do you do with the plethora of switchables?      Good problems to have.

Fischer seems to be a good passer from the high post, and Taylor is too. Would be a very good problem to have indeed.

Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown

My question is whether DS would be happy with the PT he'd get as a freshman under Buzz's system. PT is assigned based on toughness, consistency in practice.... not ceiling or starts coming out of HS.

Tower I think your question is very valid.  It seems like anytime a big man is in the top 10 players in the nation people immediately assume 1 and done.  However based on the stats DS has put up in games I've followed (the Germantown game for instance) its not like he has been totally unstoppable.  I would think that if a guy was a can't miss top draft choice for the NBA he would be unstoppable in High School.  He certainly has the potential but maybe he will need several years in college to really build into that top draft choice.

If Flinn flips anytime in the next couple days, I think we can celebrate; otherwise, I'll merely consider this a reason for early, but cautious, optimism.

Even then I would hold off.  There is still a ways to go in recruiting Stone and a lot could change, especially if the big time programs come in and really step up their effort.

If you're good enough, you'll play. Junior wasn't a good practice player. Gardner is not a good practice player. No problems seeing the floor for those two.

Good problem indeed!! I think Taylor, Fischer, and Ellenson are all capable of playing away from the basket part of the time. Stone, I think, would pretty much be low post all of the time.

Who knows on the one-and-done? Depends more on where he is projected in the draft than everything he does on the floor.

Where do they get their predictions from? Are these just wild guesses, or is there some methodology they use?
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind. Rick Pitino: "You can either complain or adapt."

MuMark

Meyer has been right 76% of the time for 2014 recruits and has hit 10 out of 11 so far in 2015.

Either he has sources or he is a really good "wild guesser".....

He also was the first guy to predict JJJ to MU when others thought he was staying closer to home....

I was almost really excited we had another commit that hadnt announced yet. I was furiously searching ESPN top 60 for players with the initials LK.
