Diamond

[Dawson Rental]

Yeah, cuz Iowa St never loses a scrimmage to K-state. 

Blast from the past, nice.

[mu-rara]

Diamond going to Wisconsin is the final nail in the coffin for Marquette basketball.   4 years ago this team was headed to the stratosphere, than when Buzz left everything went to poop and UW is headed to back to back to back national championship with Stone, Decker, and Hayes, and than whoever else comes in after Decker leaves (Chances are they will be big time recruits that do not want to attend Marquette anymore)

Wojo better get to a final 4 and get to one fast before UW laps us again.   The fact that a city of Milwaukee kid of Color wants to play with UW shows how far we have fallen.

And in regards to Ellenson.  Everyone is telling me that he is overrated and will get beaten up when Diamond plays them. 
we are doomed.  Looks like I am going to start cheering for Iowa State

Teal?  What, You're serious?

[We R Final Four]

The last time Bucky went to the Final Four (2000), we were there 3 years later. 

The last time they won the Big Ten (2008), 3 years later we started a 3 year streak in at least the S16.

Their success has never precluded ours.

I swear Wisconsin went to a FF last year (2014). Our run started this year, 3 more years Sweet 16!

I got the impression Diamond wanted to be a one and done guy.

I don't see that happening under Bo. A true 5 man handling the ball on the perimeter of the swing will be interesting to see.

I thought Duane and him were best friends at some point...

They actually dont really like eachother.

How is Dekker going to lead them to a NC when he in all likelihood is turning pro?

[amen426]

Buzz wanted Dekker.  Dekker just committed very early for UW.

I spoke with Sams brother a few times about this. Buzz showed no interest prior to his committment at UW.

Dekker did commit early (after his sophomore season), but Buzz made no visits to Sheboygan / made no offer.

I'm not sure how you can say "Buzz wanted Dekker".

That is contrary to what I heard in that Sam made it clear he wanted to go to UW early on.  But you talked to someone closer than I have so I have no reason to doubt you.

The sky is not falling, worry about our team not the unbearable one to the north. Take the summer off and we'll pick it up in September and see where we're at. I have confidence in the new MUBB,give coach and staff a chance to mesh all the pieces
together and develop. Buzz was good till he ran it into the ground for whatever reasons you want to name.

What does UWGB have to do with this?

Classic Chicago.

This is not true at all.

It may be true that their parents do not always see eye to eye but Duane and Diamond are friends.

Nate, better put the bong away for a while.

I don't know either of them personally but from what I've heard, I agree. Duane has been supportive of Diamond and he would have no reason to fake it considering they aren't teammates anymore and Stone is not going to Marquette.

[brewcity77]

I'd also echo this. Diamond may not have played for DuWil Sr in AAU, but I've heard he does have a good relationship with Duane Jr.

[Stretchdeltsig]

So why doesn't he team up with Duane at Marquette?

[brewcity77]

Maybe that decision isn't Diamond's to make.

[MU82]

So why doesn't he team up with Duane at Marquette?

Did you go to the same college that your very best friend from high school did? I know I didn't.

[avid1010]

Buzz wanted Dekker.  Dekker just committed very early for UW.

100% false.  dekker committed early...but buzz never made contact.

[Dawson Rental]

Wow, you have one diamond hard, hard on for a particular HS basketball player.

Typical of Buzz the Numbnuts!

[brewcity77]

FWIW Diamond Stone tweeted that he will be committing tonight at 7:30 on Twitter.

[wardle2wade]

Diamond Stone just said he's announcing his school on twitter in 20 minutes... 730 cst.

Roy Schmidt says he thinks it's the badgers. #donedeal?

[Tugg Speedman]

What no hat dance and presser at Donimnican?  Why do it Friday night on Twitter when the basketball world is watching the S16.
