LOS ANGELES – College basketball's regular signing period opened on Wednesday, April 13 and LMU Head Coach Stan Johnson and staff wasted no time officially inking Chance Stephens to the incoming freshman class.


 
"Chance is a flat-out winning person and player who comes from an incredible family," said Johnson. "His natural leadership ability and tireless work ethic will impact our program from day one. I think he's one of the special shooters in this class and he fits a great need for our program. Today is a great day for us. I'm extremely excited to coach Chance."
 
The 6-3 shooting guard will join the Lions from Riverside, Calif., following a standout prep career at Riverside Polytechnic High School. An outside shooting threat with a knack for making the right play and a drive to win, Stephens will also bring his bright personality to the bluff this summer and into the season.
 
"LMU felt like home as soon as I came onn campus because of the relationship I had with the entire staff and Coach Johnson," said Stephens. "Through the whole recruiting process, Loyola Marymount. was the best fit for me."
 
 
Stephens is LMU's first signee ahead of the 2022-23 season. The regular signing period continues through May 1.
