According to several reports, the heralded Lincoln High School swingman is expected to make a decision any day now regarding his choice of school.

But Maryland has already been picked as the odd-team out.

Still, the visit to St. John's went well, by all accounts.

As Stephenson was leaving the campus, one St. John's player asked him, "Alright man, so I'll see you at practice?"

"No doubt, no doubt," Stephenson replied with a smile.

Lance Stephenson KO's St. John's
BY Mark Lelinwalla, Roger Rubin, & Ian Begley
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITERS

Friday, May 1st 2009, 4:00 AM

Lincoln HS standout Lance Stephenson has been doing the recruiting dance with St.John's for more than a year. Not any more.

According to sources on both sides, the odds are virtually nil that the 6-6 guard from Coney Island will join the Red Storm. And sources say ditto for Maryland, another college heavily recruiting Stephenson.

"At this point (St.John's is) out," a source told the Daily News. "They're not a priority for us. Maryland coach (Gary Williams) embraced Lance, but for some reason that wasn't the right move."

According to a source with knowledge of St. John's recruiting strategy, coach Norm Roberts and his staff have waited patiently but time is growing short. They still want Stephenson but are now fearful that waiting much longer means missing out on others. The Johnnies got a commitment from point guard and Queens product Malik Stith yesterday.

Last week, Kansas coach Bill Self preferred a commitment from Xavier Henry, ESPN'S No. 1 ranked player, over Stephenson.

That leaves Arizona, Memphis and possibly even Kentucky as possible destinations for Stephenson.

Concerns about Stephenson's future are not limited to basketball.

He has a court case scheduled for May 19 at Kings County Criminal Court in Brooklyn, stemming from an alleged incident at Lincoln HS, in which a 17-year-old girl claims he groped her on Oct. 3 of last year. Stephenson's lawyer, Alberto Ebanks, has maintained his client's innocence throughout.

Get rid of lance

Can we please get rid of all this lance stuff. He does not want to come to SJU.

Just finished watching Lance at Rucker with Artest's brother on his team they were playing for Sean Bell.  They played blew out  Tru warier Ron Artest;s team(why was Dainel not on his bros team?).Anyway my point is Lance's game has not changed not one bit since he was 15.He  still takes too many plays off, especially on D. Still yells at the refs, he was not yelling at his teammates for the first time history.He really needed a coach like Gary Williams that will hold him accountable for his actions too bad they are not recruiting him anymore.

Attack basketball, pressure defense, 40 minutes of hell ... Early on it might be 30 minutes of hell, then 10 minutes of what the hell are you doing?"

Lenny Cooke works at a grocery store the Brooklyn barbers shops say. After he torn his knee in Philippines, he started to lose his love for B-Ball the rumor is.

I saw Wagner in Trenton, NJ in February. He's packed on some weight and let's just say his entourage has dwindled.

He said he hadn't spoken to Cal recently and his father was way down in El Paso, so he doesn't see him that much.


Antonio Williams, who does some scouting for ESPN, said he's seen 6' 10" DeAngelo Collins, who was also in the 2002 draft, actually pumping gas in the LA area.

The DN did a piece on why schools are staying away from Stephenson. For whatever reason, they didn't use Zagoria's race excuse.

One reporter (not for DN), who has been to the house, told me that house has all the makings of a future NCAA investigation story.

Dude's not in jail, won't be going to jail for some touchy-feely on a girl.  I don't know why colleges would be all up in arms about that; his issues have to be the eligibility and his pops.  And even then, I just don't know why other schools aren't trying to lock down a talent who might just give them 20 points every single night.  He's could be like the angry Stephen Curry.
