Hooped Up

You might not now the name yet, but former high school star Lance Stephenson aka “Born Ready” is going to be a Bearcat before he makes his way to the NBA.

“The former Lincoln basketball star whose future has been complicated by a sexual harassment case and questions about his amateur status, has ended months of speculation by finally deciding on a college. A family source said Tuesday that Stephenson intends to suit up for the University of Cincinnati, the school he and his family visited over the weekend.

“Unless something out of their control happens, he’s going to Cincinnati,” the source said. Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin, who is no stranger to the Lincoln program, said Stephenson signed a financial aid agreement with the Bearcats and expects Stephenson to attend summer school.”

See why NBA scouts are excited after the jump.
