Signs pointing towards Lance Stephenson staying home for college
by Zach Smart
The curious case of Lance Stephenson, New York City’s top-ranked player (and one of the most highly sought after items on the nation’s recruiting marketplace) has taken a few twists and turns lately.
None of this was expected. The manchild, known in these parts as ‘Born Ready,’ with springy bounce and a penchant for wowing, electrifying and violent dunks was rumored to be Kansas-bound.
Stephenson, a 6-foot-5, 200-pound senior at Lincoln High (Brooklyn, N.Y.) held back on his announcement, which was expected to take place at the McDonald’s All-American game in Miami.
A number of inside sources close to both the Stephenson family and Kansas indicated that ‘Born Ready’ was headed to Jayhawk territory.
Word that Stephenson may commit to St. John’s, however, has spread like wildfire in the last several days.
“It’s a done deal,” claims one source who is close to the St. John’s coaching staff.
