Oklahoma State has marble stairways in their locker rooms thanks to T. Boone Pickens.

Sounds slippery. How long til someone breaks a leg descending those things.

When I lived in Italy for a year, there were constant reports are marble slipping deaths. All the floors, even outside the bathrooms, in the apartments they called homes (they were very nice large apartments though) were made of marble. People were constantly slipping and breaking their necks.

Something to think about if I was a prospective bball recruit.

got in before me.

I think we can counter with the George Springer and Mo'ne Davis Sports Illustrated covers from this summer. One of them went here, and the other dreams of coming here. We can maybe invite Mo'ne in to give a sales pitch, during her pre-recruitable student-athlete time while she is pitching Chevys. Just to tick the NCAA off a little more.

Throw in the Bazz cover and we can tell Diamond that there is a 3 in 51 chance of being on the cover of SI if he's affiliated with UConn (gotta take the swimsuit cover out of the equation).

And if it comes to it, we can even bring in Connecticut native and former LLWS Champion Chris Drury, who also won a Stanley Cup. That would cover TWO sports he probably doesn't care about!

Eh, Just tell him Michael Bolton is from CT. and hand him a Pen.

So, we'd lose 90% of the 10% of total volume that could actually be considered content?

Maybe a little more.

Anyone hearing anything about the visit. Damn 3 must be going to classes!

You're just begging for another exegesis on the marginal benefit analysis of Pepe's Manchester vs. traveling to New Haven, aren't you?

Don't like Willington pizza?

Willington Pizza is decent. More by default compared to all the other dreck in that area (I lived in Willington for a while - Hilltop Farmhouse, across from the old Pipe Dream restaraunt on Route 32) than by excellence. Its fine I guess.

Pizza Shuttle in Milwaukee is just as good as Willington Pizza though, so for our friend Funkhousers benefit we will call it a wash.

You guys need help. Take it to the Pizza thread.
 
Hopefully something is brewing.......3 crystal balls today....one being Jerry Meyer. Is he tweeting what an amazing visit he's having?
 
Im cautiously optimistic. What's crazy is that Wisconsin has gone all in on Stone, idk what happens if they don't land him. They wouldn't have a center on the team next year(assuming they don't land another 15 center). Their tallest player would be 6'8.

Stone has kept this so close to the vest. It's foolhardy to assume anything with better than 51% certainty.

And given all the factors with Wisconsin, I will not be convinced that he is not going there until he signs the dotted line.
Expand ...
Agreed. It's an inexact science to begin with and must get exponentially harder to predict with a guy like Stone and his family, who have kept this a very private process (which I respect). I'm not getting my hopes up but I will be very happy if we do end up getting him.

Yeah, those pizza-obsessed posters are ass holes. Almost as bad as the beer guys. Or the cider guys. Or the lobster roll guys. Wish they would knock it off.

We should have a thread about the most annoying food threads.

Lighten up Francis but if it upsets you that much I will not mention it anymore.

you can keep being corny and square, don't let me get in the way of that. There's your half a bar, now back to the thread...

We're really going to be holding our breath once he leaves campus. If we are in the lead now, we still have to run out the clock without the home team (or people who want him to play for the home team) getting in his ear.

When I was young my dad barely attended any of my games so I'd have no preference on whether to stay in state to play or go away. However, I attend ALL of my kid's games and offer plenty of 'advise'. Let's just say if Diamond Stone was my kid, he'd want to get as far away as possible....Just sayin'. You never know the family dynamics.

I think it's generally accepted that this thread is hardly a recruiting thread any more; probably happened 10 pages ago. Outside of a commitment, only thing else we could learn about Stone is the consistency of his morning dump. Although, I could give a duckck about all the pizza stuff.
