Lance Sr. is lying to keep his son’s stock up or the Sun (and I presume that’s where the NY Daily News got the info for its first line) was wrong. If Maryland’s offer really was off the table, the father would know. I can’t see Williams not telling him he wasn’t interested anymore.

Anyway, I hope he’s still an option. I would love to have Lance. Williams is a great coach, and you have to trust in his judgment and leadership to keep the kid in line if his attitude or selfishness becomes an issue. And, hey, if nothing else, Stephenson might be a better person for having played for Williams, rather than some win-at-any-cost douche like Calhoun or Calipari. Remember, these are just KIDS, they could use some positive examples and development
