uconn looking at center Georgios Papagiannis

[mauconnfan]

One thing that stands out - he can pass for a big man. Imagine that?

 

[mauconnfan]

Thanks for the info. I will yell "Opa!" if we snag this kid. That said, the mention in the article of him needing to work on rebounding may lead to me needing a shot of ouzo.

I'm all in on the Ouzo if he comes here. Whatever it takes.

That baby hook is nice. Kid never misses

 

[gtcam]

Wait, didn't he play for Miami back in the 90's?

Well lookie at the #33 in orange
Its the nose pickers heir apparent

 

[AfgHusky15]

Didn't you already next stone?

Must be all the snow that had me lose my mind for a moment.

Ok so now you can explain in what manner you lost your mind? Next or don't give up

Sounds like Zionn is "Chief"-ing

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Can he play PG?

 

[UCweCONN]

I thought Webster's dad played football, not basketball?

 

[FartMan69]

Good to see a post game, basic post game with a nice drop step and hook but most importantly doesn't seem to have happy feet. Go Get em!

 

[UCweCONN]

Well after checking the recruiting boards and hearing that both UCONN and Maryland are interested in Papagiannis, any doubts I had that Stone is Wisconsin bound have disappeared.

 

[UconnDon]

I'm guessing he's a 2015 kid?

I think he was in Pennsylvania last year at a prep school.

If he went back home to play, I have to think there's a good chance he'll stay there.

With Greece economic/political problem, he probably cannot afford a an airplane ticket to make any visits.

I'm a Greek UConn alum who was part of the Hellenic Student Association, and I can tell you UConn is a great draw for Greek students studying in the U.S. UConn has one of the strongest Greek cultural centers (UConn Paidia) in the country. They recently finished building an out door Greek amphitheater built of marble on Dog Lane next to the Greek Orthodox Church. Definitely have Paidia reach out to him if someone on here has inside connections with the basketball program.

I hope Ollie is talking to Diamond Stone's Greek teammate - Kosta Antetokounmpo (brother of the Milwaukee Bucks Yiannis The Greek Freak"Antetokounmpo.) (2016)

 

[ZenConn]

But can he take a charge?

 

[tentoes4rings]

But can he take a charge?

And do a 360 spin followed by an airball?

 

[Towney007]

A little embarrassed to be THAT guy - but my Boss is on Wisconsin's basketball board. Basically, Diamond Stone's going there, but they're waiting for a second round of ACT scores, apparently. Finding a backup plan probably isn't a bad idea right now...

 

[TyroneShoo]

Thought I read ST. johns= likely landing spot...unless something changed in last few days

 

[pnow15]

Ollie should sign him because this way if Stone signs with Wisconsin, we won't be up the Greek.
