A film crew has been following Lance around for the last number of months and they have decided to use the footage for short-web episodes on him.  The trailor, plus the first 2 episodes can be seen at www.bornready.tv

2 new episodes will be published each day for the rest of the week and then one new episode a week after that.

Since Lance Stephenson was participating in the games at the St. Johns University team camp, the school took advantage of the opportunity to give Lance a tour of the campus.

Lance Stephenson with Dad at St. John's
The unofficial visit was given Tuesday, June 3rd, on the second day of the Abraham Lincoln phenom's play schedule.

"I got to meet the coach, I got to play with the players in a scrimmage and it was real fun", said Stephenson. "I've only been to front entrance by the main gym. I didn't know it was that big, so I got to see the rest of the school."


"I think if I come to St. Johns I think I can make the team better and I can bring more players," said Stephenson.

Stephenson could definitely bring success and more talent, but he's keeping his options open. He said that USC, Kansas, and Tennessee are also interested in him, but he won't be making any other visits until the fall.

This young man will not go far from home in my opinion...

I have been saying for 2 years SJU had a chance with him if they played it right...    who knows if it happens...

It would not shock me at all if he ended up at Seton Hall or Rutgers either.....

he loves playing at MSG. and he seriously seems like the kid who would stay home.  and he loves the media and he'd LOVE to bring a NYC back to the big dance.

we have a small chance imo.  w/ a better coach (even a paul hewitt) we would have a much b better chance

A kid like Lance Stephenson would have to be INSANE not to see the potential on him coming to SJU. You put him alongside juniors like Burrell, Evans, Coker, Kennedy, Thomas & Boothe to go with the 7'1 Wait & our new influx of talented/tough/physical guards. And imo u are talking about the original "Beast Of The East" being back in business baby. MSG/NYC would rock like it never has before if this kid had the guts to wear the Red & White... He would quickly become a basketball LEGEND in this town & nationally as well.. 8) .. Unfortunately, he'll probably end up taking the "easy" way out. Sad.
