Lance Stephenson, the 6’5” shooting guard for Lincoln High School has to decide whether he should go to college or play in Europe. He can’t jump straight into the NBA because of the new rule stating, each high school basketball player must have one year education in college. Many NBA and college basketball players are moving to Europe to play basketball. Many of these superstars are getting better deals than they are in the U.S.A. Moving to Europe can also be the resolution for free agents, college players and high school players like, Lance Stephenson.
Stephenson is thinking about jumping to Europe, but he is still thinking about going to college. Some of his college choices are Kansas, Maryland, St. John’s, UCLA, and Wake Forest. He has already visited Kansas in February 20 of this year and Maryland on January 31 of this year as well. He has already been recruited by Kansas’s head coach Bill Self, but is mildly interested in going there. He also has mild interests about going to any other school that he has applied for, but he has narrowed it down to three top college choices; Kansas, Maryland, and St. John. He’s expected to announce which college he will be attending on Tuesday, March 31 or Wednesday, April 1 during the McDonalds All-American Game in Miami.
Stephenson is holding the record for all time scoring leader in the state of New York. His record stands at 2,946 points. Lance Stephenson is leaning towards going to college for one year. He is most likely going to Kansas but is still undecided. He has delayed his announcement on where his is going. It would be good for St. John if he chooses to go there, because they have been struggling lately. If Stephenson chooses St. Johns then he could really be a life saver to their basketball team. We recommend that he goes to St. Johns but the choice is up to him.
