Lance Stephenson (Don't get too excited)

[volball625]

I figured I would post this about Lance Stephenson. We had heard we might be able make some noise in this kid's recruitment, but that was a long time ago. Well he hasn't mentioned us lately until this particular article. (look towards the bottom of the article).

Northstar Basketball: Lance Stephenson- Where is he Headed?

I saw this posted over on Volquest, and there are two guys on there who have serious connections to the basketball program who have stated Bruce Pearl has something up his sleeve that will blow our minds. Now this could mean nothing but I found it rather interesting to see him actually mention us. We will see if this actually pans out.

i'm so excited about this kid.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

USC, St. John's, Kansas, UCLA, and Tennessee

It will come down to the last three teams imo.

I know. This is just unreal. Those are elite programs we are going against.

It really is incredible. No one could have dreamed that we would be in contention for these "superstars" 4 years ago before Bruce set foot on campus. What a great turnaround, and let's just pray we can sway him to K-Town.

it will be hard but could you imagine a backcourt with LS and Hopson.

Well let's hope Hopson will still be around.:crossfingers:

Memphis fans are saying that he is a lock to go to Tiger High. :birgits_giggle:

 

[silverbax]

I dunno if Memphis is the lock. He did mention Kentucky...also here he is discussed with the ACC, but I don't think he has an offer from UNC yet.

Lance Stephenson is still considering UNC ACC Basketball Recruiting

I really think that Stephenson is completely wideopen right now.

 

[Jurevicious]

Thanks for the info on him Volball. If he visits here, we could have a shot.

 

[silverbax]

It was interesting that he distanced himself from Mayo and Mayo's situation.

 

[volsfan0156]

in an insider article on scout he says that he has narrowed his list to just ucla, usc, and kansas so dont get excited at all about this guy cuz hes not comin to Tennessee. we got a better shot at dominic cheek.

I would say our chances are about as equally bad.

Cheek is going to the Big East IMO, rumors have been Rutgers for a while.

Take a look at this year's recruiting class, and next year's class. They'll be pretty good.

 

[Midfielder10]

Rutgers has some ballers.....they will be good in a year or two.

In an interview at the USA U18 trials, Lance Stephenson said,

Kansas, Memphis and Tennessee, those are the three schools I'm looking at really hard

Looks like we might have a chance with this guy after all.

St. Johns and USC are elite basketball programs?

 

[ukvols]

UNC, Duke, Kansas, and Memphis are elite. Texas is no slouch either.

 

[volball625]

St. Johns and USC are elite basketball programs?

Did you choose to ignore every other school listed?

 

[VOLatileOrange]

Xavier Henry is supposed to choose a school soon, and it could affect Stephenson's decision. Henry will probably pick Memphis or Kansas, leaving the other school looking for another highly rated prospect. Also, I've heard Calipari may not want Stephenson because of his attitude, but when has that ever stopped him before? Calipari might only be saying that to help him with Henry, though.
