The junior’s first offer was from Old Dominion in July, and he’s he picked up Cal Poly, Wichita State, Washington State and most recently Hawaii since.
Several more offers could be on the horizon for Washington’s 6th-ranked 2018.
“There’s about 30 schools that are recruiting n me; Stanford is in there, Oregon State’s in there, Washington, Yale and Cornell,” said Stevenson.
“The mid-major and low-major schools have kind of went away since I got the Wichita State and Washington State offers. It’s mostly just high-major schools on me now, really.”
He added: “I’m considering any school right now really.”
With good size and great skill, Stevenson is able to score in a variety of ways, but says his sharpshooting ability is his best strength.
“I consider myself a playmaker, and I’m a knockdown shooter. If I get an open look it’s basically an automatic bucket,” he said.
“I can drive and kick to my teammates, I can get to the cup, and I can rebound. I like to get out in transition too. Basically I can do a little bit of everything.”
Already with some nice height, Stevenson mentioned to PHWA that he could be as tall as 6-foot-8 by the time he’s done growing.
“The male’s in my family are big; my cousin is 7-feet tall, my dad is 6’10. The male’s in my family grow late, so I’m supposed to hit a growth spurt here pretty soon. And I’m supposed to be like 6’8 or 6’9.”
Off to a sizzling start to his junior season, Stevenson poured in 41 points last week in a win over crosstown rival North Thurston.
“My role for this team is to basically do it all, but also to be a leader,” he said. “Everybody looks up to me, and I just need to bring my overall game and leadership skills. And as I go, the team goes.”
