Why Jarin Stevenson committed to Alabama over UNC

Posted Jul 11, 2023
Since seventh grade, Jarin Stevenson had lived about a 10-minute drive from the Smith Center. But he didn’t grow up with visions of being a Tar Heel and running out of a tunnel in front of 21,000 fans in a haze of light blue. He grew up, instead, with a grander stage in mind. "I’m just looking for the best situation to help get me to the NBA," Stevenson said. (AOL.com)
