Stone/Newman Package

[otp85]

About a week ago in an interview with Evan Daniels of Scout.com Diamond Stone once again said that he and Malik Newman are shooting to be a package deal. Now, I know this is news to no one but what I'm wondering is how much faith does everyone else put into this? Because I don't place much. I've heard it so many times before and only ever seen Jones/Okafor actually follow through. Just curious about what you guys think?

This one had some traction.....KO staying in the mix, but all top programs are in the hunt.

...and what % of these "package deals" actually happen???

Kevin Ollie did in-home visits with Diamond Stone & Malik Newman on back to back days in April. Just something to file away.

Everyone print this up and file it away. It's all about priming the MOJO!

the last one to not pan out was cliff alexander and jaquan lyle. at the end of the day each kld will do whats best for him. this seems like a package we would have less of a chance to land based on the number of guards we currently have so as a uconn fan, i hope they dont end up as a package deal

Don't suck the air out of your witticism. Just make fun of the idiots who can't read between the lines after the fact. (odd. second time I've mentioned that today).

Isiah Whitehead (Seton Hall) and Jaquan Newman (Miami) was another that didn't pan out this past season. I also remember Josh Perkins discussing a pairing or two.

Malik Newman is going to play no matter who is in the backcourt. Kid is a stud.

Our last package deal worked out great. We got a championship out of the deal, and they left when they were no longer useful.

Not that it officially means anything but the majority at 247 sports within the past couple days have been switching their picks to Adams going to UConn. I know his cousin on Twitter said he would choose in June or July.

Basket weaving. Or possibly even a UNC AA studies major.

Was about to post the same thing. Hey, if it gets you a championship, why not?
