Jacob.  Who's now at Dayton playing for Anthony Grant, a much better program than MU.

His brother sign there yet?  Jacob magic man Connor

This is guard talent

If my math is correct, that's 45 points. Here's one encouraging thing about college basketball: You never know when you're going to witness history. On Dec. 14, 1996, few of the paying attendees who showed up to watch Marshall play Morehead State could expect they'd bear witness to one of the greatest -- if not the greatest -- long-range shooting performances in the history of the game. That night, Marshall guard Keith Veney shot 25 3-point field goals. He made 15 of them. Fifteen years later, Veney's single-game record still stands.

[The Right Stuff]

The story goes that a Morehead player asked their coach should they start guarding Veney, true storey.

Some of you guys are so caught up in this Spears deal but couldn?t speak about the stupidity that Dan brought in!

A lot of the coaches back in the late 80' &90's thought why play 'd' on a player shooting from 27 feet and beyond. Just drop the guy back into the lane to clog it up.

I think back in the 01 or 02 season the transfer from Temple (Ronald Blackshear) that ended up at MU made 14 in a game against Akron. I think he hit 9 or 10 threes in a row in that game.

Thanks for proving a point. It's why Conner wasn't nearly successful. Dan with another one of his crazy experiments trying to play him at PG instead of at the 3 where he belonged. So instead he is wanted by a much better basketball program.

Heck, yogiherd, back in the mid-60s, or a tad earlier, most schools in the MAC thought the same thing about an opponent who shot from 1 foot or so beyond the foul circle.   Then MU Coach Ellis Johnson got a guy named George Stone and . . . .

Yep
remember watching George light the scoreboard up (I think it was Nebraska) on WSAZ 3 during a NIT game when I was fifteen or sixteen. Heck most of those long range jumpers were 25 footers or farther out. he could drill them from deep for sure.

The Parthenon had wall-to-wall coverage of the Nebraska game, with very interesting pictures of the team walking around NYC.  Last page, note the ad from a NY YMCA for rooms if anyone was interested in coming up for the next game....

KNOX Saint Louis was waiting to broadcast the St Louis game after the MU game. I remember Skip Carey talking to his father and saying Marshall has a kid named Stone who shoots forty footers and makes them! Great times and memories.

Stone was the best shooter and had some height to go with it.  He wore glasses in one game and never wore them again because they threw his shooting off.

Corny is correcting the problems we had last season at the PG position.

NIU, Ball State, Oregon State, Toledo, . . . how many more schools will he sign with and/or attend, before this thread dies??

Happy to see we're not finished with recruiting

One more stud combo guard would really make us a team that can contend in the Sun Belt

Go Herd!

He went for 33 against us. He was a beast.

We played for championships then.

TH, I thought it was 119-86, (or was it 76?), but it has been a WHILE.  Got to keep our D stats looking good as possible.  Stone did SHUCK the Huskers for a cool FORTY-SIX big ones, that I DO recall!!!

[MUfan08]

Anyways, back to recruiting

This guy currently has offers from EKU, ETSU, and yesterday from Youngstown State.
