Diamond Stone reveals top 5 schools

[KC_Warrior]

Marquette is not on his list.

@Diamond_Stone33: My Top 5 (No Specific Order)

1. Maryland
2. Duke
3. Wisconsin
4. Oklahoma State
5. UConn

Shocking.

Oh wait...

The list is surprising though.  Hopefully it's UCONN because otherwise UW may just land him.

UCONN all the way

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

What an odd list.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Should we pull a badger fan and start saying how Wojo cooled on him, or how his dad is to overbearing or my personal favorite, he didn't have the grades.

[Wade for President]

The inclusion of OK State and Maryland throw me for a loop (no VaTech?).  Wonder if Malik Newman are driving those interests.

Not shocking we're not Top 5, although I'm still disappointed.  A change at the top (good or bad) may have factored in us being on the outside looking in.  I was hoping the connection to Duane and the wet dream of teaming up with Henry to make a formidable twin towers, would've cone to fruition.  

ANYWHERE but Wisco would be okay.

Give me a Henry commitment, and I'll forget all about the kid with the odd name.

[Logi4three]

Wish he would have had KU and MSU on his list.

[wadesworld]

He ain't no good.

[We R Final Four]

Final Five?
Several Scoopers gave reasons why DS "picked" UCONN last week. Diamond must not have gotten that memo.

[cheebs09]

Kind of surprised that OSU is on the list given someone mentioning schools with the desire for past success with big men. Although their facilities thanks to Pickens are amazing. If I had to bet, I would bet on UCONN. No inside info though.

[Skatastrophy]

Is he not that good? What an odd list.

Meh.. Goodluck Diamond, Wonder why MU was tossed completly out of the picture, i mean when you see Maryland and OK ST you just wonder if WOJO ever really recrutied him

[keefe]

you just wonder if WOJO ever really recrutied him

He most definitely did. I am surprised that UCLA disappeared.

[4everwarriors]

Are folks here gonna chit their trousers if the cat picks UW?

[Groin_pull]

I'm sure Wojo gave it a shot, but MU just didn't make the cut. No harm. MU will be fine.

I am surprised by some of the names on that list. (Maryland? OkSt?). It's his list...and his life. Good luck to the young man.

Anyway, I have my sights set on another big man. I won't name any names, but it rhymes with Lenry Rellenson.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I had not heard OK State even mentioned with Stone until now. What a weird list.

Best of luck to him. I hope he ends up somewhere far away from his home state.

[Class71]

Time to move on. Almost does not count.

Wow, how quickly they forget Big Country!

[Ellenson Guerrero]

UCONN is the only school on this list that makes any sense for Stone.  Its almost as if he knows where he is going and just picked four other names out of a hat to fill in a top 5.

Think it will be UCONN but Wisconsin has a solid chance, unfortunately

The correct answer if you are a Vadger fan is to start ripping on the parents.


I wish Mr. Stone well.  Knew this was the case for the last year, so this is hardly a surprise to most.  He's a very nice player, will do well.  Should be in the association no later than his Sophomore year.

No one here knows-----if he picks Duke it should shock no one.

Duke wont shock me, if its Maryland, Ok ST., then id be shocked cuz they came out of nowhere.

[Skatastrophy]

That's the offer he waited years for. He really wanted to leave the state.
