Lance Sr. now saying that Europe is still an option:

Wow makes sense I can't see why anyone wouldn't want to go to Europe to play as long as they give me my money up front.Wow could that be the surprise he puts on a CSKA Moscow hat  :o

“If I keep playing hard and pick the right college and show my talent, I think I’ll be here again.”

If he picks the "right" college he'll definitely be here again.
When you're a kid from New York and you do it in New York, that lasts forever!

Or even an idiot savant like Manny Ramirez

On that note, is there any recent word on whether Lance will be qualified?
The whole recruitment may be moot.

Once again, Lance will commit to either St. Johns,Kansas or Maryland-maybe even play overseas. My sources also tell me he will announce at or around the Mcdonalds All American game...

Lance Stephenson says he’s already chosen his college, and at this point all signs indicate he’ll end up at Kansas.

There's little point in retaining Roberts if he couldn't get Stephenson. The only reason to retain him would be if the school is so poor that it couldn't bring in a better alternative, which would be hard to believe.

He's an inept bench coach and a below-average recruiter. As it is, the next guy is going to have to figure his way out of the skewed scholarship situation created by the massive rising junior class.

The problem is that there are quite a few good jobs open and likely to open that Monasch better have his short list ready in order to act and react, depending upon the initial feedback.

“Maybe I’ll get drafted to the Knicks, who knows? If I keep playing hard and pick the right college and show my talent, I think I’ll be here again.”

If he won’t play at the Garden again until he’s on the Knicks, he’s not likely to suit up for the Johnnies.



So Lance is out but I was able to face it last week :'( .

However  with the signing of Omari & Hardy ,the return of Mase & with  Paris Horne having a break out season, I thought this team had enough perimeter fire power & didn't need Lance anyway because he is not a PG or a PF or C with any kinds of post moves.

As for the Jayhawks if Sherron stays like most mock drafts have him doing, does Lance start over there next season? The Jayhawks would then return 3 starting guards to their line up & he is not a 4 in college.

What I’m saying right now is I’m coming back,” said Collins, who added that he is in fine shape financially and has the blessing of his family to return.



All we need is Cole to stay @ Kansas & they are maxed out with scholarships , NCAA better watch for some funny business.
