Lance Stephenson Rumors
Lots of rumors flying around now regarding the recruitment of Lance Stephenson. He's confirmed UCLA as out of it, which means that Kansas, Wake, Maryland, and SJU are the final four. One rumor (the most believable to me) is that SJU is almost surely out of it. It makes sense for a multitude of...
Hey, Haven't Had This in Awhile - More Lance Stephenson News
Sorry, but the world revolves around him right now. Gary and the AD have gone back to being boring, there's no interesting comments from Grievis, and one can only do so much with a team that is 95% sure to end up in the NIT, likely the most boring position a team can be in - not bad enough to be...
Lance Visiting Kansas
I hate talking about recruiting this much, particularly for just one player. But media availability has been limited (not that I've ever really had any anyway, but no seconhand quotes to talk about), and there's not too much else going on at the present time except Lance Stephenson doing...
More on Lance Stephenson
As reported last night, BR did indeed get left off the Jordan All-Star Classic roster, which is a bit of a sham. The main theory is that he got left off because he wear-tested for Under Armor, and if that's true, I'm fine with it. It's funny - St. John's is a Jordan Brand school. Maryland is an...
GW Sees Lance Stephenson's Greatness in Person
A lot of people give GW a lot of flack for not recruiting hard enough - he doesn't go to the games, he doesn't talk to the players. The "Critics Shell Williams" thing was proof. But hey, look at this! Gary went to go see BR's game today! (Yeah, there's some sarcasm, but only a tiny bit.) And when...
News and Notes: Coaching, Recruiting, and More
Lots of little hits today: Terp Center ended up getting an interview with Lance Stephenson Sr., who's obviously BR's father. It's a pay link, so I can't divulge the information, but know this: it's very, very positive. The recruitment may get very interesting soon. Also, know that Gary and Co....
So I Just Watched Gunnin' For That #1 Spot
It's a film made in 2007 (I think) by one of the original Beastie Boys. It centered around the inaugural Elite 24 game played in Rucker Park, with the best 24 HS basketball players regardless of grade. Naturally, Lance Stephenson was one of them, and he was only 15 years old at the time, going...
Clarification of the Scholarship Situation
After reading some of the comments on the previous Lance story, it appears everybody's pretty confused on this front. Here's the situation: Maryland currently has 13 players on scholarship (that's the limit). When Gus Gilchrist transferred away, we only had 12 scholarship players. The extra was...
In Case There Wasn't Enough of Lance Stephenson News
There's more. But I guess you guys should be glad for some not bad news (god knows I am). The awesome Zagsblog has an update on Born Ready, and it's confusing as all hell. It's clear the rumor I posted earlier had little validity - Memphis is already dropped from his list. His list now consists of...
Rumor: Terps in Top 3 for Stephenson
Here at Testudo Times, we don't like to report rumors much. It's poor form in journalism. However, calling us true journos is a stretch at best, so I post every single rumor I come across. The newest one is probably the most exciting I've ever seen - the rumor states that Born Ready is down to...
