I'll certainly take him, but another poor 3-pt shooter. We seem to be becoming.... the same team.
Yes, he just committed to us......He averaged 14 ppg and 7 rpg on a bad Southern Miss team....shoots and makes alot of mid-range jumpers. He wasn't highly recruited out of high school, former walk-on, nor was he highly recruited in the transfer portal. His only portal offer was UIC. He may be pretty solid but not a starter

To be honest with you Jans didn't get any of his top portal targets, I think he's just trying to fill these last two scholarships at this point. We still need one more Guard.
Yep we missed badly in the portal, mostly due to being outbid in NIL. Keshawn Murphy is likely our starting 4. That's a big ask of a freshman.
Hard to be excited about this roster.
Fired a recruiter for a X and O?s guy. People shouldn?t complain who wanted the recruiter gone.
We should be better off in the long run.
Stevenson is a solid get. Plays very, very hard. At worst he will be a high energy forward off the bench. Took way too many long two point shots at Southern Miss but Jans will rid him of that habit. Will get most of his points from crashing the boards.
Yes he's a solid get and will be another hard nosed player.. But there's a reason he didn't get recruited out of High School and the only portal offer he had was Illinois-Chicago. Somebody has to go score and be more than a tough nosed defender or rebounder..... we don't have a guy like that. When Tolu sits where does our post presence come from? Who takes the game over on the perimeter? We lack on talent right now... our most talented guys are all of Howlands guys who decided to come back.... I think Jans will be a great x and o coach but worry about our recruiting future
I agree, that will help. And we may just have enough talent left over for Jans to do something this season... Shak, Tolu, Matthews and Jeffries have the talent and experience.... if Jans is the coach we all think he is those guys along with his coaching should keep us competitive... but I'm not too high on any of the new guys he brought in and we will need them
The roster is solid, but I think Jans will help us as an on floor coach. Bold prediction: We are an 8-10 seed in NCAA.

Howland recruited a ton of talent... he just didn't coach them well but no one can say he wasn't a good receuiter. I'll debate this all day long
