  • Jefferson Signing Late; Stokes Remain In Limbo (UPDATE)

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Amile Jefferson will sign late and Jarnell Stokes remains in limbo .

    “[Jefferson] won’t be signing today,” Philly Friends Central coach Jason Polykoff told SNY.tv by text Wednesdday.

    Asked if that meant he would sign late, he added, “Looks like he’s going to have to.”

    The 6-foot-7 Jefferson attended Villanova’s 76-69 overtime win over La Salle Tuesday night after taking his last official visit to Stanford last weekend.

    His father, Malcolm Musgrove, previously told SNY.tv that his son was mulling seven schools — Stanford, Villanova, Temple, N.C. State, UConn, Kentucky and Ohio State.

    “We’re going to sit down and weigh our pros and cons,” Musgrove previously told SNY.tv. “Figure out where he should be. If we can do that before the early signing period then we’re going to sign.

    “If not then we’re going to sign late.”

    As for the 6-8 Stokes, he was reportedly at Memphis’ 97-81 win over Belmont Tuesday.

    While some believe he could pull the trigger Wednesday, other sources say Stokes will wait until the spring — after his high school situation is settled.

    “I’m leaning towards committing after signing period and then signing in spring,” he told an Alabama radio program last week. “But who knows? I may just next Tuesday I might just all of a sudden have it and get ready to just commit and sign.”
