Don’t give up hope of a Diamond Stone return just yet, Maryland fans.
Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com cited sources on Monday and said the Terrapins center would declare for the 2016 NBA draft.
However, Stone’s father, Bob, had other ideas in comments he made to Jeff Ermann of 247Sports’ Inside Maryland Sports: “I don't know anybody in Cleveland. I don't know what they're talking about. ... There's a lot of people out there who like to talk, but we haven't told anybody anything. We're still evaluating.”
Haynes did say Stone was “holding on hiring [an] agent,” which would give the big man the option to return to Maryland.
