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.

Do you have any idea how college works? Scholarships are renewed annually.  Self can choose to not renew any player he wants. There will be room.  Heck, they could make room for five Lances if they had to.  There is no "funny business."

Norm cannot get a kid that another school really wants.  It's that simple.  He could be all over a kid for three years and all Pitino has to do is walk in his gym or living room once and it's all over.  Norm sucks. 

yea it has never been a problem...all schools find a way to do it..make a kid a walkon and pay for his tuition

Nope never knew that  , I thought as long as a player had academic success  & showed good player conduct on & off the court he was stuck on the team for all four years.

This is great news , can someone give me a situation where a coach took away his kids scholarship who could not afford to walk on to the team ?

players walking on is rare.  players being asked to transfer isn't.

lance stephenson is said to make his announcement tomorrow on his decision to attend Kansas next year

so is he announcing tmrw at 1145 or wednesdsay during the game?

I care....i know what the answer is going to but once it is official i move on. I don't think Lance is going to come to a program not ready to compete when he has one or two years at the college level. Odds are pointing to Kanas but strangers things have happened. He is not a savior but it would be nice to see Omari and Lance play together.

Lance and Wall to Kansas?

**Andy Katz says John Calipari is close to taking the Kentucky job. IT will be interesting to see if DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall follow him. Wall is reportedly down to Memphis and Kansas and one source told me he’d be surprised if it wasn’t Memphis. If Cal leaves for Kentucky, Wall could pick Kansas or potentially follow Cal to Kentucky. Imagine if Kansas lands both Wall and Lance Stephenson? Watch out for the Jayhawks if that happens

Amazingly, this Lance Stephenson Saga still isn’t over and apparently won’t end at the McDonald’s All-American Game.

Lance Stephenson Sr. called the McDonald’s PR people Monday night and told them his son wasn’t yet ready to announce his college decision. The 6-foot-5 Stephenson was expected to announce for Kansas today at media day.

“Following [Monday night's] POWERADE Jam Fest, the McDonald’s All-American Games staff learned that Lance Stephenson will not make his college decision at media day, Tuesday, March 31 at 11:45 a.m. or during the game on Wednesday, April 1 at the BankUnited Center in Miami,” the statement read.

how many spots does kentucky have open? lance may want to play for calipari.

AAAAGGGHHHHHH

WHAT THE PLUCK, MAN!  Sweet Jesu this kid loves the f**king attention!  GET IT OVER ALREADY!

You know what?  For all of y'all who hear the rumors or think you know where this kid is going, I don't think HE knows where he's going.  or why not announce at the Garden?  Why not announce at McD's?  He doesn't know.  What does he need to be ready?  One more surgery seminar?  This ain't surgery!  Just drop a hot damned name and be quick with it, son!

this has everything to do with calipari, xavier henry might decommit from memphis and sign with kansas, leaving lance out. i think we still have a small chance.

I wouldn't be so sure about Herney walking away from Memphis. Doesn't his brother go to school there already..?

Memphis would also have to release him from his LOI.

What about John Wall?  I thought he was down to Memphis and Kansas...

Also, looks like Henry would be looking to leave according to Zags...

I've read reports that Memphis already said they would grant him a release if Calipari left

I think you're right. What's the hold up?
SJU and Maryland might not be out of the mix yet.

Maybe he wants payment in advance from shady Europe.

when is he going to announce now and what venue will it be at?
