Diamond Stone (Committed to Maryland)

I don't trust any of these high school basketball reporters (excluding Zags), especially anyone associated with 247, but this rumor is becoming more and more prevalent.

Which part - it's colse or he won't qualify???

62 pages and can't qualify will just add to the comedy gold ...

Hearing that UCONN backed off on Stone due to grades. That's why we aren't in the mix.

KO kept flying out to Wisconsin to see him because KO is really good at Algebra. He's been tutoring Stone for extra cash on account of the divorce and all.

That's what I'm hearing from my sources.

My source (the dude from WV) said he was going to pick us last fall. But his dad got pissed. Said he was going to disown him. So he got depressed and tanked his grades.

Um, how exactly is the Zags the one you trust?

None of these guys are dylan byers like because they are reporting on the whims of 15 to 19 year old kids. There needs to be perspective on this

I really had high hopes for KF this year. Parts of him seem to have regressed. OK rebounder, and an occasional dunk, but I was hoping for more blocks. He was actually moving away from a a guy driving uncontested for a layup. WTF? These guys need a lot of seasoning. High school is almost too late to start playing. Court awareness is poor.

I cant agree. i think its just his confidence but he has shown he can play. His rebonding and ability is better then those you named. I am an Ollie fan but a better big man coach would help.

If this is true about grades for whatever reason, how does he go to Wisconsin whose academics are equal to us?

Wisconsin is harder to get into then uconn

I guess, but it's a pretty marginal difference.

I think it was a joke.

Most times on this board it could go either way

 

[CTBasketball]

Its a ploy started by Oklahoma State in an attempt to draw the good academic schools away. Cunning, but amateur.

I'll bet more of their grads know the difference between "then" and "than," too.

 

[BUConn10]

This thread is an abomination.

 

[uconnell]

Geeze it's a sports forum. Can't we let the spelling, punctuation mistakes go. I'm sure many people know the difference but do not comment on it.
Not like writing a thesis.

Please. It was sarcasm. I let 99.99% of it go here, but when you make a post like he did you are leading with your glass jaw. I am sorry if he was offended.

And the difference between UConn and Wisconsin academically is something that didn't warrant the comment in the first place imo.

I know I'm gunna get stoned (no pun intended) for resurrecting this thread lol.

But any thoughts on how Wisconsin getting a number one seed and us NIT bound will effect Diamonds decision?

I can in fact report that this will not help our cause

heard his dad is guiding him to where he wants... as is under armour

The Boneyard should have some sort of algorithm that automatically deletes any post in a recruiting thread that starts with "I heard..."

Unless Diamond Stone is whispering sweet nothings in your ear during pillow talk, stop with the source-less tidbits.

Why would it matter? Next year is a different year. Kaminsky is a special player. I hope Wisconsin wins it all this year. They're the lesser of the possible evils.

Oddly I want WVU to win. That would piss off so many people.
