If the Mack and Stone thread have taught us anything, it's that other than 3, none of us should say absolutely anything about recruiting. We don't know jack sh!!t and neither do all the "experts" out there with their mysterious sources and crystal balls.

They're getting face books "whats on your mind?.." confused with the Boneyard.
 
I could see him on the court with AB. No problem!

We on the yard have a tendency to try to put facts together that make sense (usually). Their current 3 NBA players average a robust 5 pts a game. '41 their last title. Our billion in NBA contracts. KO all over the league. Stuff like that. But this recruiting is a crap shoot unfortunately and logic doesn't always prevail.

If we are gonna get facts straight, please realize Devin Harris alone averages more than 11 points a game by himself and was a former all-star before injuries derailed his very promising career. And of them 4 , how many were top notch recruits? Zero. If Bo can turn a guy like Frank Kaminsky who was a gangly, awkward looking freshman with little recruiting hype whatsoever into a legit POY canidate, then the sky is the limit for Diamond.

Not trying to be a but u mentioned facts so just wanted to clarify the "facts". :) I've all but conceded Stone to Uconn is a given but a few years ago we all thought Vander Blue was gonna be the next great Badger and look how that turned out!

If only Dante could have designed a circle of hell for those who take tweets too seriously.

This thread is embarrassing...even moreso than most recruiting threads have gotten recently.

I don't think many here think it's even close to a done deal.

We can't really talk about our current coach developing NBA talent from dreg, but as a program we have a pretty good history of guys like Jake Voskuhl and Hilton Armstrong. Those guys obviously didn't light the league on fire, but they made it after coming in with little or no thought that they would make that leap. He did see a guy ranked around 250, Amida Brimah, that he took and now there is already buzz about him being a lottery pick in 2 years (some overzealous folks here see him going first round after this year). This is more about spotting talent than developing it as the kid has some ridiculous athleticism and a motor and works his ass off to get better, but I digress.

It doesn't matter much for a guy who is likely one and done as to where he goes as long as he doesn't go to a coach that hurts development (cough Calipari cough). He will be equally well served at either school. I will be bummed if he doesn't choose UConn, but I can totally understand a Wiscy choice and wish him well no matter. I think we are one of the favorites to win it all in 16 if he comes to CT and I'm not so sure Wisconsin would be if he went there - but I wear blue colored glasses.

At this point, for me, I think it comes down to which dairy product he likes better - cheese or ice cream. (you won't get that - the folks here will)
 
Everyone I have heard talking about Stone on his Wisconsin visit has said he spent more time on his cell phone at the Red/white scrimmage than one would think if someone was really uncertain on where he wanted to go. Also seeing that KO came a few days after his visit worries me even more. Maybe it was an act of desperation seeing that he was losing Stone? I doubt it but can still always hope!

Badger, I think most folks here have wished from the start that if we did not get Stone, that Wisconsin did. Lots of respect here for your program and coach

It's good to see the program gets respect outside the Big10! I just hate waiting on these decisions because they never seem to go our way when the player is in-state and waits so long to decide. Usually if an in-state kid wants to come to UW , he accepts shortly after his offer or not at all. Can't say it wouldn't be nice to see Stone playing on a bigger stage at UConn if thats what it comes to, but for just once it would be nice for our program to actually land someone like him.

Badger I am not sure why you think UConn is going to be the landing spot for Stone because honestly I think he is going to stay at home.

We need a f@cking BY twitter security detail. I'm sure we could easily get 10-15 people to constantly tweet the sh33t out of all of these recruits who seem to be on the border. That'll surely make a difference.
