Diamond Stone

I hope he goes to Wisconsin.  I think the one or two years Stone and Ellenson match up will be a lot of fun.

So when is Stone going to sign?  Anywhere.

Interesting that Mark Miller is confident in Stone to UW when the rest of 247 seems to think UCONN. Even Evan Flood picked the Huskies

This is one time where I hope Mark is wrong.  Just want to see Vadger fans try to justify Stone going to UCONN.  They would be insufferable if Stone went to UW.

I agree. Would make the rivalry all the more fun.

Mark is under 70%.... so who knows?

[cheebs09]

What's that number based on? When it comes to Wisconsin recruits I think he's very accurate. Only one I can think of as wrong was Looney, and everyone got that wrong.

Pretty damn good in a world where you're predicting the whims of 18 year old boys.

[brandx]

Based on all of his predictions. And I didn't mean to infer it was good or bad - just is what it is.

So you've gone back and tallied it up?

Sorry, didn't word that well at all. I was wondering if it was all Wisconsin kids or if there were a number of out of state recruits. Also wasn't sure if he's only had a few predictions, thus Looney making up a large percentage. Not that any of it matters, just rooting for him to be wrong in this one instance.

[brandx]

No, I didn't. Everyone's percentage is there in black and white on the website. Not a snide comment. Neither bad nor good. Just his prediction percentage.

And what could have possibly offended you about the comment? Did I lie? Was I offensive? Time of the month?

Actually, I'm hoping he is right to see the match-ups vs. MU.

The percentage is all of his prediction - some in-state, some not. No way of knowing for sure, but I would guess his in-state percentage is higher. He is pretty tuned in to Wisconsin basketball.

At the same time Big Daddy has come out saying "no way" Stone goes to UW.  So one of these two very accurate local prognosticators is going to be wrong.  I for one hope Mark is wrong.  I don't want Stone at UW and really think he would be better off at UConn or one of the other Blue Bloods.

Mark Miller and credibility are two words that should never exist in the same sentence, unless the key word "lack" is included.  Stone is going to UConn.  Bank on it.

I disagree a little when it comes to Wisconsin players. I thought Stone was almost a sure thing to UConn and still think he goes there, but this does make me question it a little.

Might take awhile yet to get the commitment, but still feeling confident Diamond Stone ends up at Wisconsin.

He's the only one

I mean, he predicted MU's full recruiting class back in June/July.

[Fullodds]

Not sure where diamond ends up but Miller's info is good and he is very credible.  And a good guy.

False! Dr 4ever nailed this one.

[Tugg Speedman]

Maybe they should play their senior year before a decision is made?

[Litehouse]

Maybe Mark is getting his info from the Badger side, not the Stone side.

Yeah but you do this with all the recruits. They list a top 5 and you give 4 of them a not-so-committed prediction. Except for Sharma, and that was a done deal. But even that you backed out when you knew you spoke too soon.  You wouldn't be surprised if he goes to 1, but he might go to the 2nd, but the 3rd has a really good chance, but the 4th is a dark horse, and the 5th probably not, but stranger things have happened. Hard to be wrong with those kinds of predictions.

Guessing you won't be surprised if it's UW (what you said in that post), but think he'll go to UCONN, but the shoe deal means don't rule out Maryland, but OKState is slimy so they could pull him in. Hey look everybody, Diamond chose 1 of his 4 listed finalist, chicos was right again! Hooray!

By the way, for someone who likes to claim to be above following the thoughts and actions of high school age boys every time a Tweet is posted here, you sure do take a lot of pride in reading into what those same teenage boys are thinking and predicting the biggest decisions of their lives will be. Is every talent evaluator a creep for following teens on Twitter and analyzing their every move?

Chicos the coward gets called out across the board while his favorite coach (crean) and program are a national embarrassment, buzz shows more character than crean, and chicos who makes personal comments about everyone takes offense when a poster makes acomment about his wife.  A week later he comes back and tries to make a thread all about himself.  Chicos could you please crawl back into the hole or cubicle that you were hiding in?, the board was better without you.
