After all this time, it appears that Arizona or Memphis has as good a shot to land Lance Stephenson as anyone.
Stephenson, the McDonald’s All-American out of Brooklyn Lincoln, has reportedly crossed both St. John’s and Maryland off his list of potential colleges, which makes sense because if he hasn’t committed to either by now, what is he waiting for?
“At this point [St. John’s is] out,” a source told the Daily News. “They’re not a high priority for us. Maryland coach [Gary Williams] embraced Lance, but for some reason that wasn’t the right move.”
A St. John’s source said the Stephenson family had not called them as of noon on Friday to dispute the accuracy of the report.
