I have been saying all along that the Lance chase is not over and now we find out that as recent as last Friday Gary met with Born Ready. From zagsblog.com,we continue to get the same mantra that Maryland is out of the running for Lance. First of all it’s obvious Lance waited until Gary visited before any announcements were made. It’s hard to believe that Lance continues to play second fiddle waiting for Xavier Henry to choose … Read More »
Tonight is a Lance free zone for Terp Talk. I have been told by 20 or so “experts” that Lance and Maryland will never happen so today I will leave it at that. All is quiet on the Terrell Vinson front as well. That leads us to DeShawn Painter who recently withdrew his commitment to Florida. It seems like Billy Donovan’s reign at the top of the NCAA coaching world is collapsing. Memphis deserter, John Calipari will soon follow after he … Read More »
Because I was on the air at ESPN tonight , I missed the Maryland Basketball awards banquet. Testudo times reports of the sharing of the MVP award between Dave Neal and Greivis and they believe Greivis should have been the sole winner. There is no dispute that as Greivis went so did the Terps. Dave Neal provided an integral role in many of the victories but it was Greivis who was the straw that stirred the drink. In the … Read More »
Two key facts blare out from the final rivals.com 150 ratings just published: rivals has elevated incoming Terrapin Jordan Williams to a 4 Star recruit and of the top uncommitted players left potential Terrapins Lance Stephenson is rated 3rd and Terrell Vinson is rated 7th. Everyone has given up hope on Lance becoming a Terp but I have not. Why? Because he has had hundreds of chances to drop Maryland from his list and never has done so!!! … Read More »
The merry go round keeps turning with events changing every day. Analyze this: Rivals.com reported today in its Whispers column that Terrell Vinson might be rethinking his possible committment to UMass and now is considering Maryland. Listen to the chain of events. Lance really wants to go to Kansas but if Xavier Henry decides to be a Jayhawk, Lance knows Self will forget he ever knew him. That would leave Lance with St John’s or the logical choice -Maryland. Vinson … Read More »
Slam Magazine has elevated the status of Lance by placing him on the cover with supposed #1 prospect John Wall. If Lance is going to St John’s, I would expect the announcement today or tomorrow. There are no stumbling blocks to becoming a Johnnie. At Maryland there is the unknown presence of Greivis and at Kansas, Xavier Henry is still … Read More »
The merry go round continues. Adam Zagoria reports today that within a couple of days, Lance Stephenson will decide between St John’s and Kansas, completely ignoring Maryland. Lance took an official visit to St John’s this weekend after having talked to Bill Self on Friday. Monday night point guard Sherron Collins announced he is definitely returning to Kansas. Here is my take: Self is playing Lance like a fiddle. the second Xavier Henry commits to be a Jayhawk, … Read More »
Will this please come to an end. Adam Zagoria agains changed themes announcing that since it now clearly appears Kansas has lost interest in Lance, he is now taking an official visit to St John’s this weekend. For whatever reason Bill Self paid a visit to Lance’s home Friday afternoon. Again it just seems like the Terps are out of the picture, but that’s today.
Keith Cavanaugh of terrapintimes.com reports that Terrell Vinson is UMass bound.
Greivis come … Read More »
This is one story that has no ending.According to zagsblog.com the Born ready group has denied that a commitment was made to St John’s. here is my take on the situation:
The second Xavier Henry agrres to attend Kansas, the Jayhawks are out of the picture. Lance won’t see the seed with Sherron Collins in the lineup let alone the addition of X.
Kentucky’s Calipari has stated he has no interest in Lance.
The supporting cast at St John’s … Read More »
