Nothing is happening tomorrow.
Today we should hear the news on Jarin Stevenson.
@7 CT tonight ... via Twitter or his Insta.
Oh yeah.
Well just my opinion, but he fits our system more and fills that Clowney void that we'll need.
I've not heard about it. (other than that thread)...smells of Ole Miss fans bitching.
Committed to Alabama.
They've still got to get a couple on campus, then they have to transfer it from on paper to on the court... but against my own odds I had set after the departures, Oats has played one hell of a hand.
Most of them should be on campus next month. They shouldn't have any issues with that part... Oats has demonstrated he can coach up the players last year.... If right chemistry, team can be real good. If bad chemistry like we had two years ago, we'll lose lot of games we should win.
I don't think so either, I'm just in this is almost too good to be true mode.
Player: Jarin Stevenson
Class: 2023
Committed to: Alabama
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“When talking about his game, you simply just don’t see a player of his age with such a polished feel for the game. Stevenson showed that he is fully comfortable in operating all around the court, displaying terrific handles for a big and one that can rebound then push in transition, while also creating scoring opportunities for himself. But he also has that strong feel and understanding of how to be a true big down in the post, showing touch and being incredibly agile on the floor. You add that to his terrific vision in finding his teammates from down low, his movement and strong feel on the glass, and ability to switch and defend multiple players, Stevenson is one that checks so many boxes off that it just seems a matter of time before college coaches of the highest levels start rolling in regularly. Stevenson showed a little bit of everything in his game and it can easily be seen why he is considered one of the top players in the state.”
“Often times, “special” can be an over-utilized buzzword to represent a sense of intrigue, but certain players, like Jarin Stevenson, truly fit the notion. It’s probably low-hanging fruit to refer to a nationally regarded prospect with countless offers in this manner, but he’s still only scratching the surface of his long-term greatness. At 6-foot-10, Stevenson is a gifted prospect with a unique blend of size, skill, fluidity, and advanced feel. He’s long, polished, and incredibly unselfish with the ability to effortlessly control the offensive action with or without the ball in his hands. Stevenson is arguably the only player in the state who can dominate a game in several different ways offensively. He’s an exceptional post-up option with unbelievable patience, touch, footwork, vision, and craftiness as a scorer. However, Stevenson is skilled enough to (again, at 6-foot-10) comfortably create shots for himself and others off the dribble. He shoots the ball at a very high percentage from all levels, but also clearly understands how to take what the defense gives him and consistently make the right play. Stevenson rebounds the ball really well on both ends of the floor. His length and instincts already make him a reliable rim-protector who should only get better as his strength develops. He truly has no real weaknesses. Essentially every program in the country should be laying groundwork with Stevenson, as his ceiling is seemingly unlimited.”
“Whether folks have him ranked first or not, there’s no denying the incredible amount of talent that Stevenson possesses. At 6-foot-10, he’s probably the most gifted post prospect to come through the state over the last few years. Last season, he led Seaforth in three of five major statistical categories while posting averages of 20.6 PPG, 11.3 RPG, 2.4 APG, 1.3 SPG, and 3.5 BPG with 56/30/75 shooting splits. It’s uncommon to see a player at his size who can comfortably create, rebound, block shots, and score from all levels. Add in his feel, fluidity, and ability to post-up, and Stevenson represents the modern post prospect. He also possesses ridiculous, yet seemingly attainable, long-term upside. As Stevenson gets stronger and more assertive, expect him to start dominating every opponent in his pathway.”
