Months after Yahoo! Sports reported that former Maryland standout Diamond Stone was given more than $14,000 from an agent, newly named athletic director Damon Evans said there is no indication to date that men’s basketball coach Mark Turgeon or his staff had any involvement in the alleged transaction.
Stone’s name surfaced in a report alleging that player agent Andy Miller gave the former McDonald’s All-American money to entice him to hire Miller’s management company. As it turned out, Stone signed with another agent — who has since dropped him — and he has played only seven NBA games the past two years.
