Diamond Stone (Committed to Maryland)

Only thing I can be disappointed in is that they spent too much time on him that could have been allocated to other recruits over the summer. Forget UConn, when a kid decides not to go to his hometown school that is coming off the best 2 year stretch in his lifetime(and probably the fanbases's lifetime), has an All American in your spot that is departing, and features Centers in their offense, something is up. I'm sure the usual posters will knock KO and the staff around and demand somebody's job be sacrificed, but there was nothing to do that was getting him here.

Ok so can we now we can finally stop talking about Stone and delete these threads!

 

[UCweCONN]

Who's Diamond Stone? Is his middle name Next? If so, I think I've heard of him.

 

[Walker11]

A guy at the Foot Locker in the Trumbull Mall guaranteed me that Stone was committing in June so I am pissed.

 

[Caronimo]

He may put 20 and 15 on brimah next yr. doomed.

 

[CAHUSKY]

Oh, please.

If you'd like to believe that either Maryland or Under Armour is going to hire the kid's dad, by all means, you go ahead and do that.

Who cares if they do? Good for them for being creative if it happens.

 

[UCweCONN]

I said long ago that we should've offered Stone's dad a job at the Dairy Barn and free ice cream for life, but it didn't happen and now Stone's going to Maryland.

Kick to the nads for Wisconsin, especially Bo. Sh/t happens, but it seems particularly cruel the way that he let them twist in the wind.

If people want to believe it's all on the up and up, good for them.

Did he also frequent car washes? If not, I wouldn't put much weight into what he has to say...

 

[TRest]

Um, maybe he just hates beer and cheese?

No one hates beer and cheese.

 

[pnow15]

It's clear that the thought of having to bang heads with Nolan was more than this kid could stand.

 

[uconnbill]

wonder how long before someone gets a job out of this

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Now I wanna win that MSG matchup sooo much more

 

[8893]

Well he certainly wore out his welcome with random precision.

Sure it is. Ollie should have started a sneaker company instead wasting all that time in the NBA.

Was not qualifying at Wisci part of the decision?

The good from this: any fantasy about the Newman-Stone combo is gone. Coach KO has a clearer path ahead...plenty of work to do...but a clearer path.
Two fifth year seniors: combo or PG who is a solid ball handler, passer and shooter. 4 who loves to rebound and has a good basketball IQ.

 

[joober jones]

I hate cheese.

 

[UconnFanDC]

I believe that it had more to do with him not qualifying to get in Wisconsin. MD being in the same conference which makes easier for family and friends to see him play more. And they have nobody in the middle. Either way he is a Terp now so who gives a .........

 

[BoatShow]

Do we still have a shot at Diallo? Haven't anything on him in forever but he hasn't committed.

He was supposed to be high on Kentucky, ST Johns and another school but not Uconn. But we never know. Deandre Daniels didnt have us and came from nowhere to commit

 

[Fishy]

UConn was never involved.

Guessing Kansas and Iowa State will hash it out between them.

 

[selles]

If there's no existing proof of them offering the dad a job, the default is to believe they didn't do it.

Why?

 

[RipCity]

Diamond Stone has a wide set vagina and a heavy flow.

Hahahaha I appreciate the Mean Girls reference.

If Amida has a good summer after not doing anything last summer due to injury, and Enoch is about what we expect, our frontcourt should be ok. We've got 5 bodies down there; actual depth if they can all work during the offseason. Can't stress the importance enough of this summer for 2015-16.

A little bit.

My boss is on the Wisco Boosters board. Stone scored a 7 on his first round of ACT's. He took the test three times, finally scored a 17 and they shoe-horned him in. Not sure he was thrilled with the process. Mother wanted him to go to Wisco. Dad wanted him to go to Maryland. I'd imagine the money chose Maryland for him.

 

[Northbound]

I have to say that is pretty funny.
