Stephenson likely heading to Cincinnati
In what comes as no surprise, the recruitment of Lance Stephenson has taken yet another turn, and it now appears that the Cincinnati Bearcats are the
favorite to land the high school phenom.
I guess I'd take the 'favorite' part with a grain of salt given what we've seen so far in his recruiting process, but it seems like he is ready to make a decision as soon as his sexual assault case is decided.
The Terps appear to be out of the picture even though Stephenson's father said recently that they are still in the running in response to rumors that Maryland was no longer recruiting his son.
Missouri, Pittsburgh and UNC-Charlotte are also rumored as possible destinations, and Memphis and Arizona still appear to be hanging around as well.
It could be argued that the Terps would be the preseason favorite in the ACC were they to land Stephenson, but it looks like we will never find out just how good they could have been.
