I don't see how announcing it at the mickey d's game is against or favor. I don't think its really any pro/con for anyone. If he picks St. John's and they televise it on ESPN then its huge for us.

I actually think it would be better for the team if he announces St. John's at the Mickey D's game. Although, I can understand why everyone is skeptical of the switch in days.

Some folks in Maryland...are very, very confident that he is going there.  Supposedly a member of the Maryland staff leaked it to the guy who runs the site Jeff Ermann.

Of course Kansas is confident too but the Terp fans are downright arrogant.

I hope he puts on a Maryland hat on and say April fools and then puts on a St. John's hat.

" base my decision on the players surrounding me, the coach and wherever I feel comfortable at.”

He later added:  “I just want to have a chance to win the tournament, so I’m picking by that.”


I never thought Sylven Landesberg wanted to come to SJU I kind of knew he wanted to get away from NY, so I was not stressing him. However, I think Lance actually wants to bring SJU back but he knows this is not the best situation for him. The coaching staffs does not develop players which is a huge negative for someone who has NBA aspirations & the SJU players don't match his skill set. We don't have the shooters he would need when double ,we don't have a tradition post player with post moves on this team that he can dump the ball down to when he gets tired & most importantly we don't have a PG that can get the ball over half court consistently & get us in our sets so he can maximize on his playing ability.

As of today If he choose KU I would not even be upset with him because I understand this is not a good fit for him.If he was a PG or C I would be very angry with him, because I see the fit & the need.

This quote makes it obvious.  We got NO chance at Lance.

It's time for all the supporters to give it up.  We need a new coach.  Season is over - and it was a mediocre season AT best - and could have ended fine with a nice little run but then getting blown out by an NCAA team - but by ending it with a loss to Richmond in the CBI it just put a damper on all that was built at the end.  We need a new coach.  Now.  NOW.

I don't really see it being a significance for either. I think Lance just wants to steal the spotlight of the mickey d's game. Hopefully Kansas signs John Wall and we can all be put at ease.
Short of my life, I will bet any amount that John Wall will not wind up at Kansas.

It's more wishful thinking on my part.

Lance Stephenson will make his college announcement March 31 in Miami, according to the McDonald’s All-American media relations folks.

“We are excited to report that Lance Stephenson, the highly recruited 6-5 senior guard from Brooklyn, NY, is set to announce his college decision during the 2009 McDonald’s All American Games in Miami Fla,” according to a release. “This much anticipated announcement will take place during Media Day on Tuesday, March 31 at 11:45 a.m. ET at the BankUnited Center.”

The 6-foot-5 Stephenson said he has already decided and will attend either Kansas, Maryland or St. John’s. A source close to the decision-making process told us it will be either Kansas or St. John’s.

The game itself is set for 8 o’clock on April 1 and will be shown live on ESPNU
