Well, other than what the ebay seller told me, the only thing I had was that it does have the fillet-brazed flared tubing that I remember on the Stings back in the day. But, what threw this guy off was the brake bosses on the chainstays. Anyone have any idea what this may be?

The Schwinn Sting didn't have U brakes, or the cable routing, was built from 80-84, the name was used again in I think 89, but wasn't the Paramount built frame of the early 80s. Not sure what you have there.
