Courting Stepheson

Now that Alex Stepheson is free to transfer to another school closer to his home in Los Angeles, he might feel like he did when he was recruited out of Harvard-Westlake. But only West Coast schools need apply. His mom, Diane Stepheson, said her phone was ringing off the hook on Friday, which is why she made a prepared statement. But Stepheson doesn't think it will be like it was when he was recruited out of high school.
``I don't feel it's recruiting all over again,'' Diane Stepheson said. ``To that extent, we'll try to look at our options and make a decision relatively soon.''
