That Set in Stone crap that Maryland put out makes me really hope that he doesn't qualify academically now...this would just be ironic

Act like you've been there before Maryland. Stone is a very good talent but the red carpet/savior treatment is a little much

Technically, Stone is the highest rates recruit Maryland has secured since last season when Trimble signed. With that said, Stone is the first consensus top-5 guy the Terps have signed in a loooooooong time. Remember, Gary Williams didn't go after highly rated recruits.

Also, part of it is getting a leg up on selling the "hey, get your season tickets now because you'll have a top-5 team to root for next season" angle. I feel like most schools would celebrate/publize a good get like Stone.
 
As corny and over the top this thing is, its well done and I would bet it was a strong part of the pitch Maryland must have thrown at Stone down the stretch to beat out Wisconsin for him. It seems shallow but this is the world we live in today with social media being king, and every player wanting the spotlight for as long as possible.
 
Was at U Maryland today. In even talking to some employees at the business school about UA's ties to the university in terms of jobs and sponsorships the topic of Diamond Stone came up. Everyone here seems to know about the Under Armour connection when I mention it and believe that is a big part of Stone's commitment.

lol what did he think was going to happen?

After reading this I have to wonder how his ACT scores improved so dramatically. What explanations can there be for trying to enter these parties and getting anything but that type of treatment? I can only think of a few. Naivety, stupidity or being snow faced. Or maybe he felt he wouldn't stand out and no one would recognize him. Right!!!!
 
"It's a huge deal, and sometimes coaches try to pretend that they're not in an advantageous position on the recruiting trail because of a shoe company affiliation ... What I found interesting is, while like I said, most coaches try to discount that one some level, Mark Turgeon didn't. He said it's a huge advantage and he'll never apologize for it," Parrish said.

Originally a football-centric brand, Under Armour and its founder -- former Maryland football player Kevin Plank (pictured) -- have steadily gained ground on Nike and Adidas in the grassroots basketball world. The Under Armour Association, its travel basketball circuit, was home to more talented teams than ever before this past summer, when five of the top 10 players in the 2017 class played for Under Amour teams.

That's messed up. He's a kid. Why post that stuff online? I'm sure her reputation speaks for itself.

She may have just been looking for some laughs, but honestly when there's electronic evidence of that nature they should just nullify any child support a guy has to pay. If you can prove that a woman was looking to be impregnated by you in order to get your money for nothing, it should free you. That shouldn't be a viable business plan, unfortunately it is for a very select few
 
Ms. Queen of Nudes used him for notoriety the same way he used her for sex. He should have known better. This wasn't a wolf in sheep's clothing situation. If you followed him on Twitter for a year, you know he isn't the brightest bulb.

Agree, entrapment is admitted - screw her.
 
I definitely feel bad for him. Not because she might be preggers, that's a situation any guy could fall into and it's usually preventable, but because she then aired this laundry on the internet and because of his celebrity, people care. Taking pics of her giving him the finger and the captions she wrote- seems like a real nice young lady.

Wait -- so your position is that a child is not entitled to financial support from a father because his mother is a lowlife? Sure you don't want to rethink that one?

I'm surprised more MRA discussions don't come up on the Boneyard.

I don't feel bad for him one bit. If you want to be a man-ho, better be prepared to pay consequences.

Dude it ain't that simple. Women are experts at seduction and entrapment. This stuff could even happen to the President of the United States, oh wait . . . . . . . . . .

For these high level and pro athletes, they need to know that trouble like this can be averted by taking these matters into your own hands.

How is Diamond Stone any better than the woman?

You don't think I know? No one put a gun to our heads and tells us how to use our penises. To use it is a choice. Made knowingly. Takes two to tango. Just because a woman offers booty means we must accept.

I hear you but we men have two brains, so knowingly can be questionable at times. That other brain sometimes doesn't think before it acts and can overpower our 'main' brain.
