Jarin Stevenson released his top-three schools on Friday. Stevenson’s finalists are Alabama, Virginia, and North Carolina.
Stevenson has taken official visits to all three schools. The South Carolina native took an official visit to Alabama in May.
When asked by 247Sports’ Travis Burnham on how he feels about the Crimson Tide, he said, “I like Alabama’s play style. They have an NBA offense and they also have a good defense, too. Coach [Nate] Oats is pretty cool,,, they’re great people.”
A decision is expected to come over the weekend. He is also considering re-classifying to the 2023 recruiting class. Meaning he will have enough credits to graduate high school and join the basketball program of his choice in the fall.
According to Rivals’ David Sisk, the likelihood that Alabama lands Stevenson’s commitment is high if he does decide to re-classify. If he elects to remain a 2024 recruit, the favorites will likely be North Carolina or Virginia.
Stevenson’s decision is crucial for the Crimson Tide. North Dakota State transfer Grant Nelson was suppoosed to announce his commitment at the beginning of the week. However, he has not officially committed to Alabama at this point. If Nate Oats and the rest of the coaching staff can land both Nelson and Stevenson, next year’s team has the potential to be a top-10 team.
