Why Alabama basketball’s Jarin Stevenson hit the transfer portal with a “do not contact” tag
The third player from Alabama basketball’s 2024-25 Elite Eight team has hit the transfer portal.
On Wednesday afternoon, On3’s Pete Nakos announced that forward Jarin Stevenson was going portaling with a “do not contact” tag.
After a rookie season that saw him declare for the 2024 NBA Draft, Stevenson made the decision to return to Tuscaloosa. However, he was met by a sophomore slump of sorts that saw him face criticism throughout the season.
