Diamond Stone (Committed to Maryland)

[Huskyforlife]

The look on his face when the dude asked him why he choose Maryland was priceless.... He had to scramble and think of something lol

I loved his comment about not going to Maryland if Trimble had declared for the draft. So he was just gonna decommit 5 days after committing? And go where...Oklahoma State?

I think Trimble was set to come back. His coach opted/insisted to do the research for him when the season ended. So I am sure he told Stone he was coming back. That reasonably could have impacted his decision. Trimble is an absolute stud on the college level (and Adams will be just as good or better assuming the team chemistry is ok).

What is he going to say? I chose Maryland because a shoe company changed the shape of my Ol' man's wallet.

I don't think our S&C coach does a great job. Look at our bigs from this past season. Ok Brimah was injured but he could get boxed out in the woman's game. Phil put on weight but it didn't help his strength or explosiveness. Facey stayed about the same. And Rock was only a frosh but he looked way out of shape compared to his high school videos and photos.

Brimah and Facey don't have a ton to work with, will never be huge. AB's shoulders are narrow, Facey did a little but he was really skinny. Nolan and explosive have never been in the same sentence, it's the guy and his game. This team has some weird players, bodies and I can't really blame too much on the S & C coach quite honestly.

Cool insight but we have to end the stone threads. No stone or rock what will happen to us. We are doomed.

 

[UCweCONN]

No Stone, no Rock, I guess we'll have to settle for a Pebble.

 

[Kembacity]

hahaha, Alex Len?? They sold him on the fact that they could make him skinny as a rail like Alex Len, who missed like his entire first season due to bad ankles and missed more games this past year for ankles again

good excuses Diamond!

No Stone, no Rock, I guess we'll have to settle for a Pebble.

And knowing the boneyard someone will take that Pebble and grind it into sand, and it'll blow away...

Or Bam-Bam

We've done better with Sticks, than Stones. Stones apparently do break bones. Anyone see the shiner (black eye) Stone gave the ref last night during the All American game?

How many lotto picks has maryland land produced in the last decade ? Len...? We play them next season I hope we smash their face in

OK, I think this might be over the line.

Seems like we weren't even the most bitter at losing out on the big man.

Gross

What kind of reactions did he expect tho? He was basically trolling Wisky fans on twitter... He lowered himself to their level

That was nauseating to read.

Now that is over the top

I agree, he was asking for trouble... or more likely headlines. Judging by his declaring his school, he's very fond of the Lebron-Wade-Bosh Miami and Kentucky style of get as much attention for any reason possible that you can. Hope he sucks

 

[HooperScooper]

I thought this thread would finally die shortly after his commitment to Maryland. But it seems it will never die. I can see it now, next season starts and he goes for 20 and 12 his first game and this thread adds another 20 pages to it.

Lmao very cute of Maryland to try and pretend that Stone isn't the poster boy of the AAU problem in college basketball.

Thought this was pretty funny, too: http://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2015/04/14/wisconsin-badgers-may-switch-outfitters-in.html

InsideMDSports publisher Jeff Ermann wrote on Twitter Sunday that the University of Wisconsin likely will jump from Adidas to Under Armour when its existing deal expires next year.

I heard Bob Stone was closing that deal for Under Armour.
