Undecided on College Choice

Stone's recruitment appeared to be headed for a heated in-state recruiting battle between Wisconsin and Marquette, jumpstarted in late April by offers from both schools. Now, however, it is inevitable that heavyweight players nationwide get involved. The now-6'10" baby-faced monster is being touted as one of the top pivot prospects in the country -- regardless of class -- based on his footwork and already impressive array of post moves. He wowed onlookers at the LeBron James Skills Academy recently. Stone has said that he intends to wait until his junior or senior season to decide on a college, but keep in mind that's just a freshman talking.
