Lance Stephenson - SF - Abraham Lincoln HS - Brooklyn, NY

why does everyone think he delayed? Its funny on Kansas' site they are all ready to bail on Lance in favor of Xavier Henry. Funny how the tide turns and do you think Self said Lance we're going to have to wait to see how things play out?

No, this twinge is a twinge of sympathy for Lance Stephenson, the super recruit who reportedly had his heart set on Kansas and may now have to go somewhere else because of big, bad Xavier Henry*, who may or may not be about to accept the scholarship Stephenson wanted.

Quote

Even if KU was to get a commitment from Stephenson or Henry, the fact remains that the Jayhawks would have 15 scholarships occupied if Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich return to school. That’s two over the limit of 13. Kansas would have to cut two scholarships either through Collins and/or Aldrich’s early defection to the NBA or players transferring this offseason.

It is also possible that a returning player could volunteer to give up his scholarship. It has long been rumored that Lawrence native and KU basketball legacy Brady Morningstar would make that sacrifice. Morningstar told The Star in January that he would be open to that option if it made the team better

I had  a feeling it would of been him

Lance Stephenson -- 12 pts, 6-11 fg, 0-2 3p, 0-2 ft, 4 rebs, 3 stls, 6 asts, 6 to, 23 min -- Had a rough go of things committing 6 turnovers. Showed good speed in the open floor with the ball, but gets out of control. On one occasion, he got off the ground before passing causing a turnover showing his lack of fundamentals. He did make some solid plays down the stretch including the game clinching pass to Favors. Has a nose for scoring. Really excels attacking the rim off the bounce. On the negative side his feet look awkward, as he runs up on his toes, not fluid. Talented kid with a great body for his age, but below average athleticism for the NBA level and his fundamentals, work ethic, and body language are big concerns.

What is Rivals saying about the perfect storm?

A lot of nothing. Basically a lot of hear say that Lance's situation has changed due to Calipari's move and St. John's may be back in the front running but this is all speculation.

Word is that Kansas coach Bill Self is concerned the Jayhawks will lose New York City high school guard Lance Stephenson to Kentucky

any word on when he "plans to commit"...again... key word "plans."  Proabably not till henry and cousins commit im guessing?

Lance, Wall, Cousins and the Henry brothers should all commit to NJIT, a la the fab 5, and see what they could do.

Jayhawk website says its a done deal.

"Decourcy on 810 now re Lance ....says he's committed to KU but KU is waiting to see if he'll qualify.  Thinks Self would turn him into a "spectacular player."  fwiw"

Let me take a moment to congratulate all the Norm bashers on all the boards for chasing this kid away. Great job! Next season, when youre watching a 6 minute scoring drought, ask the whiner sitting next to you for a pat on the back. You deserve it!

how is this guy a mod?

Dont you worry my little friend, you'll be a Seton Hall fan shortly anyways. Maybe you can write some cute articles about Gonzo's thugs in the school paper
