…courtesy of Adam Zagoria on his “ZagsBlog,” early this morning. It’s an excellent read, and worth checking out if you’ve been following this ongoing recruiting saga. (I think it’s safe to call it a saga)
Some key tidbits:
- Stephenson said he is down to four schools- Arizona, Florida, Memphis and Maryland
- Stephenson has a sexual assault hearing on June 29 in Brooklyn. Since any potential school would most likely want that case resolved before a commitment, Stephenson and his father, Lance Stephenson Sr., have indicated they will wait to make a decision until after the case is handled.
- Stephenson Sr. on Maryland more specifically:
“I talk with Coach [Gary] Williams, Coach [Keith] Booth and Coach [Chuck] Driesell, they’ve just been there,” he said. “Maryland is going through their process where they want to pick a player and they’re not putting any rush on us. They want Lance to be sure if he does want to go to Maryland, that he really wants to be there. Maryland has been really patient in working with the family.”
