Lance Stephenson will attend Hoosier Hysteria

by Alex Bozich in Recruiting | September 26th, 2007

The list of prospects that will be attending Hoosier Hysteria in a little over two weeks continues to grow and the biggest name yet to be announced was confirmed today by Adam Zagoria.

Lance Stephenson, from Lincoln High in Brooklyn, NY will Hoosier Hysteria on an unofficial visit. Lincoln is the same school that has produced Stephon Marbury and Sebastian Telfair.

Stephenson is regarded as one of the top five juniors in the 2009 class by nearly every recruiting publication. He’s 6′5″, 195 pounds and is regarded as an athletic freak with an NBA-ready body. NBAdraft.net compares his game to Gilbert Arenas.

I’ll definitely check out Stephenson in December as he’s scheduled to play in a game at Freedom Hall with his Lincoln teammates.

For now, I’ll leave you with an incredible putback dunk from Stephenson via YouTube.

telfair and marbury are pros? why wouldnt u want that?

I agree with you Big A, Coach Sampson is not going to put up with crap. There is no "I" in Team. It takes a special player to lead a team by his self and I don't think coach is looking for those type of players. He wants kids that want to play to win as a team.

Big A

I think Sampson is a no nonsense type of coach and there's no way he would tolerate taking a kid who thinks he is bigger than the program. Since he is recruiting Lance heavily, I'm sure he sees a fit for him at IU.

Understandable but give the kid and the coaches some credit, I don't they would recruit those type of kids, even though, Marbury was not a bad college player and Telefair got fame and fortune before maturity....

we would be very happy if lance comes to iu to play.please guys don't knock his alums and drive him off before he gets here.just judge him on his interlec and talent.from what i hear he is a hell of a player.

Tim

I don't want to judge the guy based on what high school he attends, but I am totally disinterested in a Marbury or Telfair coming to IU. Stephenson though, for all I know, may be much more intelligent and level-headed than either of his fellow Lincoln alums. In that case, it would be great if a Top 5 player came to IU.
