I'm guessing there is some type of power struggle within the program on whether to take this kid or not. I personally see both sides of the argument. He for sure brings along some baggage and is a bit of a headcase. But at the same time he doesn't have eligibility issues, has NBA talent, and basically locks up #26 in a row and Arizona eventually surpassing UNC.
Anybody know has he NCAA qualified yet, GPA and ACT scores?
You don't hear nearly as much talk about amateur status with Lance as you do with Renardo Sidney so I don't think people are overly concerned his dad took money, I think they just are concerned that lance and his dad are very difficult to deal with. That part of Goodman's story where he mentioned NCAA concerns I don't think that's really valid, to be honest I don't think a lot of teams recruited Lance because they figured he'd go play in Europe. When he started saying he wouldn't some schools got involved, but I still don't think any of them were going to pay someone to get him because they all know there's a downside to Lance, attitude wise.
One thing is for sure, neither Lance nor Wall will be playing professional ball next year. I say this because Vaccaro predicted on air that Wall would be in the NBA and Lance in Europe next year. Wall didn't file before the deadline, and I don't think Lance will get any offers in Europe if he wanted to. And vaccaro's recent track record on predictions is he's almost always wrong.
He did say there was another big announcement coming soon, which I think some people took to mean Lance to Europe, but nothing has happened yet.
