Lance Stephenson is beginning to contradict his nickname.

Born Ready, as Stephenson likes to be called, decided he wasn’t quite ready to announce his college choice Tuesday in Miami. Stephenson had said he would reveal where he would go to school next year among finalists Kansas, Maryland and St. John’s at the McDonald’s All-American Game press conference Tuesday morning.

But Tuesday morning, the All-American Game sent out a press release that said Stephenson would not make his announcement. It was the second time in the past 10 days that Stephenson didn’t announce on a date he had scheduled.

It’s now unclear when Stephenson, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard and New York City’s all-time leading high school scorer, will make his decision.

HENRY, WALL RECRUITING

Maybe it’s all just a coincidence. Or maybe not.

Stephenson’s decision to not announce coincided with the news of Memphis coach John Calipari’s taking the vacant job at Kentucky. Calipari’s move could have a major effect on Kansas’ recruiting.

Xavier Henry, a 6-foot-6 guard from Oklahoma City and Rivals.com’s No. 3 player in the nation, picked Memphis over Kansas in November. Henry could ask out of his letter of intent and re-open his recruitment per an agreement with Memphis. His options could include following Calipari to Kentucky.

John Wall, a 6-foot-3 guard from Raleigh, N.C., and Rivals.com’s top prospect, hasn’t decided on a school but was said to be leaning toward Memphis. But that could change now that Calipari has bolted. Kansas remains on Wall’s list.

Wall, Henry and Stephenson will all appear at the McDonald’s All American Game at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

CASE FINDS NEW JOB

Jeremy Case will leave Kansas to become an assistant coach at Southeast Missouri State, according to a report by the Lawrence Journal-World.

Case was a graduate student manager last season for coach Bill Self.
