KJ Green out of Stone Mountain (Ga.)
Stephenson has set Aug. 8 as his commitment date, and the race appears positioned to stretch all the way there. For much of the past year,
Alabama and
South Carolina have traded momentum for the top spot. Now, entering the spring evaluation period, a third contender has firmly inserted itself.
Miami is making a serious move for the No. 37 prospect in the
Rivals Industry Ranking.
“Alabama and South Carolina are still up there, nothing has changed, but Miami is really making a push and you can put them up there too,” Green told Rivals. “I haven’t been to Miami yet. April 3 will be my first time there.
“Coach Taylor came up to see me twice in January, and one time he had Coach Cristobal with him. They are so real, and them coming up to see me showed me a lot. Coach Taylor is a great coach with a lot of experience and he is a coach I know I can trust. He’s a Hall of Famer, so that trust goes a long way. Coach Cristobal has done a lot too. Miami is really coming on for me.”
