Wisconsin loses......

Diamond Stone picks Maryland!

Didn't see that coming.

Again, shoe/clothing connections help seal the deal per DSPN:

"One factor in the Terrapins' favor was the Under Armour connection; the shoe company sponsored Stone's AAU team."



Stone becomes a Twerp

AAU ball should NEVER determine where they go.

You're right Mike, but sadly that is the way things are trending. Coaches no longer visit kids in their high school gyms, they go to high profile AAU tournaments. With That said, I do believe it makes recruiting the elite players easier as the majority of them play on teams that play in the most prestigious tournaments ala the Peach Jam. I do believe that the days of traveling from school to school are dying a rather rapid death.
