December, 2008: Stephon comes off the bench for Word of God and was very impressive with his defensive presence (GlaxoSmithKline Tournament). He is 6'9 with a long wingspan. He plays above the rim and is a run and jump athlete. Drane would be excellent at the front of the press. The high-major pressing teams need to get all over him. What stood out the most was he was in a stance at all times at 6'9. He competes at a high-major level defensively. He got a lot of minutes the game I saw because N.C. State-bound C.J. Leslie got in early foul trouble. Stephon can play for a lot of people at the high-major level because his athleticism and length. He can guard any position on the court, 1 through 5. This player is a high-major sleeper.

Ok is it just me or is this just the type of player we are looking for? He is long a PF who can run the floor and fit into our full court press. He is also a sleeper so may not be getting a lot of attention. He lives in NC so Richmond is not to far away. He also plays on the same AAU team as Domantre Harris, a 6'9 PF/C that we are recruiting very heavily. Go get 'em Coach Smart!
 
Granted, it is only a verbal, a lot can change for players who blow up late like this kid apparently has.

Yeah but they don't go from one mid to another
 
Joey did. Of course, that was because Grant got a head coaching job.
