Diamond

[LAZER]

I'm glad he's going to Maryland, but the Henry/Diamond rivalry could have been a pretty fun chapter in the rivalry. Oh well...

[HutchwasClutch]

hadn't thought of that.   Does this mean that KenoshaWarrior is going to come crawling back to MU?

Why would anyone care whether he does or doesn't.

Three McDonald's All-Americans in WI the past two years and none will play at WI. Looney (UCLA), Ellenson (Marquette), Stone (Maryland).

Reportedly Diamond got a 24 on his ACT.

So awesome. So much Schadenfreude.

[tower912]

Maybe he wants his degree and saw the graduation rate for African-American basketball players at Wisconsin.    


Or....he cooled on Bo. 

[willie warrior]

Like many other top recruits in Wisconsin, the Badgers were always going to be second. They had zero chance at him and Stone wanted no part of going there. Anyone who thought otherwise had junk info.  

As we hear so often Bo cooled on him.

[Tugg Speedman]

Does Bo retire after they lose tomorrow night?

[Golden Avalanche]

This entire process was hysterical to watch from out east. From the start, I don't think anyone really had a fooking clue what was going on with Stone. Big, big get for Turgeon.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha

Oh this is so sweet

[Thomas' Danish Delight]

So awesome. So much Schadenfreude.

GO WILDCATS!  Send us more of that sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

The Terps will have Trimble, Layman, Dodds, Nickens, Wiley and now Stone.  Turgeon looking to add two more to roster.   Dez Wells was a big loss, but the building blocks are there for a decent team.  The Comcast/Xifinity Center is a great venue for b-ball and lets see how Stone does when they play the Badgers.  Good pick for Diamond if he didn't want MU.

Beat me to it!  Screw the friggin' rodents.

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

I can't believe I didn't see this gem of a post until today.  Honestly, I'm not sure how they allow you to teach kids.

Ooooooohhh, let's start this rumor.    Diamond was going to come to Wisconsin, but Bo told him that he was done after this season, so Diamond went to Maryland.       Run that one by your badger buddies.

Wardle to Bucky!

Madison would burn to the ground if that happened... and I'd be there roasting marshmallows and making S'mores

[tower912]

Yeah, it would be fun.   All scoopers living in Wisconsin, sell it hard to your badger neighbors.

[bobnoxious]

They are really taking the timing of the commitment personally like he ruined the weekend or something, quite a funny read

It makes no sense to take it so hard... You just can't enjoy your back to back huge years of success? This ruined your win vs UNC? Really?

They're so full of themselves now it's nauseating.

Amazing.  They might be 40 minutes from a Final Four, and they freak out over an 18 year old kid's decision.

[Superfan]

Rivals.com posted that Diamond Stone announced this evening that he will play for Maryland next year.  Tough loss for WI.

[keefe]

Turgeon has achieved cult-like status in the NCR. The Turgeonites have elevated Coach Turgeon to a God-like figure. Such creativity among a student body is refreshing. Very refreshing, indeed.
