That's fair, I'm just saying I get more excited about big time offers than I do player rankings. You guys had lots of top 100 guys last season, and the team didn't reach the usual expectations at MU

I agree... Although you can't deny those top 100s played sparingly. I think the only one who consistently saw time was Jamil and towards the end of the year deonte every other big minute player was Jake, Derrick, Gardner, otule, mayo. There was plenty of top 100 talent but it kinda needs to see the court in order to be effective.

Our coach did not utilize the talent on the team properly.

Ranked No. 5 in the class of 2015, Stone will visit Maryland this week for the Terrapins midnight madness, following a visit to Oklahoma State.

I believe he eliminated Duke.

One of those is not like the others.

Don't give a chit. We got the better of Wisconsin high school big men. Right guy for our program. Thrilled with how this turned out. Good luck to Stone and the school that gets him.

Diamond Who?

[Fullodds]

Will Bo make him redshirt?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Will Bo make him redshirt?

No....but only because he's going to end up on the East Coast

[MUfan12]

Under Armor won't let that happen.

Amen. But that won't stop some guys here from obsessing about the guy MU won't be getting.

Tough decision for Diamond. Does he goes to a school that has won multiple national championships in the past decade or a school whose only national title came in an eight-team tournament while Hitler was invading Poland?

So why did Ellenson pick Marquette? Didn't he know that Duke has won multiple national championships since 2000? Didn't he know that Michigan State has been to 5 final fours, with a national championship, since 2000?

Why would Ben Simmons commit to LSU? Isn't Kansas simply out of their league basketball-wise?

Maybe it's because there is more to recruiting than "look, we won the championship last year". Maybe, just maybe, he likes the team who has been to the NCAA tournament 16 straight times, and is coming off of a final four appearance. Maybe he wants to play in a premier conference, where he will have a far greater chance to be recognized as a top player in the country.

Then again, maybe you're just an anti-Wisconsin homer who is worried about the prospect of Wisconsin landing Stone, so you mock the idea of him even considering the Badgers.

You do realize where you are?

Best thing for Marquette is that he goes to Wisconsin. Will have a nice couple year rivalry with Henry. The more media attention the better for us.

By couple year rivalry, you mean 1 game? Stone has one and done written all over him.

[Celtic Truth]

Stone rules out Duke

Final 4 is Oklahoma st, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Uconn.

He apparently enjoyed his visit to OKST

Decision will be made on Nov 12th

Thanks for repeating the last 10 posts of the thread?

Why does everyone always make everything about Wisconsin? If they land Stone that's ONE game a year that it will affect us. ROLL TIDE

Looking for a last second hail Mary here, but not holding my breath. How could this guy have so easily dropped MU from his list? Thank you, Bert.

This year Wisconsin has three scholarship players from Wisconsin and MU has five. Next year MU has 8.  That impacts EVERY game.

What if the staff didn't want to invest the time into recruiting him? Henry was clearly their priority.

I will never believe this. Anywhere but Wisconsin is my motto.
