So it appears the long nightmare has finally come to an end!  The terps are reportedly no longer interested in Lance Stephenson.  The Baltimore Sun reports

Lance Stephenson, a McDonald's All-American who is one of the top unsigned basketball prospects in the nation, is no longer being recruited by Maryland, according to two sources with knowledge of the school's efforts.

So it would appear that I was right all along...but for the wrong reason.

If you remember I said that GV coming back hurt our chances with BR b/c I didn't think that BR would want to share the show with GV...

Well I was right...GV coming back seems directly correlated to BR not coming to CP, but for a different reason.

Apparently, and if you read the article it hypothesizes that this is so, with GV back, we don't really want to take the risk with BR.

I don't buy that.  Gary is not one of these sleezy recruiters who changes his style when chips are up or down...I think there is something more to the story...perhaps we haven't been in it for quite some time...OR

perhaps it's not quite over yet...time will tell
