New day, new story on Lance Stephenson.
The news today is that Lance Stephenson Sr. told USA Today that his son had narrowed his choices to Arizona and Maryland.
“He wants to clear his name before he makes a decision,” the father told the paper.
Stephenson has been charged with sexual assault and the case was adjourned to June 29.
Stephenson’s lawyer, Alberto Ebanks, said he is trying to get the case dismissed, but there is no new news on that front.
A source at Arizona said the Wildcats were trying to get Stephenson out for an official visit.
Memphis is still trying to remain involved with Stephenson and Latavious Williams told me yesterday that if he ends up at Memphis, he would like Stephenson to join him.
Another source told me the other day that Lance told one coach he would announce between Maryland and Memphis.
So there you have it.
If the case is resolved soon, a college decision could be forthcoming shortly thereafter.
If the case drags out over the summer, a college choice could also.
“He’s going to continue to work out and take care of his schooling,” Lance Sr. told USA Today.
Thats absolutely wrong. Gary is one of the top coaches in the country, sure he is lazy the past few years on recruiting, but he takes crap talent and turns them into NCAA tourney teams when they shouldnt even make the NIT with their talet. Top talent not wanting to go to UMD? say hello to class of 2010 which could very well be a top 10 recruiting class with all the prospects listing Maryland. They already have Terrence Ross(ESPNU no.25), and Terrell Stoglin(ESPNU no.71).Also Memphis is OUT. Get it in your head, his FATHER(who knows more than anybody on whats going on)says its between Arizona, and Maryland. Some source nobody knows who says its Memphis doesnt even compare with a source like Stephenson’s own father. Oh and by the way T.V time playing crap c-usa opponents doesnt compare with playing ACC schools and beating UNC 2 years in a row.
Yeap you are right just like he left AZ for Memphis right, right? lol you people are so damn funny i never said that was his dream job lol i never said josh was staying as a matter of fact i dont give a Damn because unlike most of you im a fan win lose or draw. You talk good trash but the facts can’t back that up. Look at ire web site look at yours look at ire campus and look at yours. someone posted up there memphis is a dump lol, you my friend never been to Memphis have you. you just watch first 48 and see north memphis and try the judge the rest of the city off of that(you hill people amaze me). And no AZCAT memphis fan are not mad just pissed that stupid people like you post alot of BS trying to talk ire program down, yeah we are down we been down before but….your program at so hot right now either. yeah sean miller is a get coach but how many national championships does he have? and dont you think when and if he win one he will jump ship to a ELITE program because AZ is not. 1 NC and you call yourself elite. look it up and see how many school have 1 NC and some you never heard of. so grown up you little 16 year old kid and watch now everything plays out.
Tiger4Life, I give you credit, you are a damn good fan!!! You are like a Chicago Cubs fan! Go pretty far in playoffs every couple of decades yet still dont win it all, but you guys still support your team!!! You say you guys are elite but only as elite as the Cubs! Plus its funny how mad you get! Many may DEBATE whether or not AZ is an elite Program or not but everybody KNOWS memphis is NOT!!!!!
Memphis might not be what you call ELITE but we been there from day 1. We didn’t just jump in the picture like you try to assume. I don’t care what you think of the program, i don’t care if you say we don’t need to be in division 1 basketball, i don’t give a friendly f*** if you flat out hate us. But that’s my team, that’s the team i love, that’s who i cheer for. So please keep your stupid thoughts to yourself. Who cares Memphis been runner up 3 times and never cut down the nets, i still have tiger blue pride. And when it’s all said and done and we go 0-30 i still dont give a damn because im a Tiger 4 life. SO KILL YOURSELF ALREADY who are you trying to convince memphis sucks me or yourself
Before you bash MD, lets look at this decade, shall we?
Maryland- 1 National Championship; 2 Final Fours
Memphis- 1 FF
Once Memphis wins a crown, we then have a discussion about which program is superior. Until then, be quiet.
Oh yeah, and the ACC is ‘overrated.’ Laughable.
First of all, this is a blog. If you can’t handle someone else’s opinion, you need to crawl back under your rock or back your grandma’s basement.
Secondly, you must be the lowest form of human life to tell someone to go kill themselves b/c they don’t agree with your opinion, or they don’t like your college basketball team. You are truly a pathetic, dispecable human being for that comment.
Third, if it is so easy to win “only” one title, tell me, what does that say about your school? As you point out, there are teams you haven’t heard of who have one a title. Yet Memphis hasn’t; hmmm…..
Fourth, it’s not the title that makes UofA elite, it’s the players in the NBA, the 25 straight tournaments, the 20 straight 20 win seasons (which would be 22 if not for the 19 wins under K Oneill) and the four final fours.
Like someone said, you might debate whether UofA is elite, and even as an alum I admit they would be second tier elite, below UCLA, UK, KU, UNC and (maybe) Duke, and more on par with Syracuse, UConn, MSU etc. Regardless, there is no debate Memphis IS NOT ELITE.
LOL you Guys make Arizona look really good you know that. First off im tired of talking to 16 year old on the computer that are stupid. Second Michael how am i getting mad over someone opinion, did you even read what i wrote i said and i quote i dont care, that’s my team. i don’t care if Memphis is or is not elite it’s my team and the team i love. Is everybody in Arizona this stupid, this slowly…really? I mean really read what i wrote and read what you wrote………now don’t you feel real stupid. And Kill yourself is a something people been saying since 2007 whenever you say something STUPID. And you guy’s are just naming good teams that you like because Duke has more NC than KU and is a elite team. UCONN has 2 so does Florida, Cincinnati, Louisville, and North Carolina State does that make them all elite teams? I think AZcatz and Michael are the same person because no way God made two people this stupid and bias. Now Michael….KILL YOURSELF
“Is everyone in Arizona this slowly?” “This stupid and bias” “You guy’s”
Lol; way to prove your point. If you want to call someone stupid, try not to sound like a total idiot. Your spelling, grammar etc. is laughable.
Idiot, direct quote from you “Please keep your stupid thoughts to yourself.” Maybe you need to read your own post your complete idiot. This is a blog; people can share their thoughts whether you like it or not.
It’s amazing to me you are calling me stupid when your grammar and spelling is comparable to that of a 6 yr old.
And where is Memphis in that list? Just curious. Win a title since it is so easy, then talk you little bitch
I mean seriously, you calling anyone stupid is a joke. Your spelling and grammar is abyssmal. Get a life and a new team; yours is a joke.
Tiger4life, I should not have called you any names or have made any personal attacks and for that I apologize. I took offense to a few things you wrote but not the end of the world.
I will agree to disagree with you and leave it at that. Both of us should be proud of our teams and I don’t think Memphis is a joke.
Okay I am done responding to myself…
