In this day and age when a lot of student-athletes/basketball players unfortunately seem to go through the motions at their college and have no real emotional ties or allegiance to their school, not Stevie! Read the article in today's Athens Messenger. Like every single one of us BA posters, this kid has just had an unabashed love of Ohio University and he has from Day 1. I remember after he started at Ohio, didn't he post a picture on Instagram or something like that where he's wearing Ohio University socks, wristbands, etc. and smiling from ear to toe? I root for all the players after they leave or graduate, but I especially cheer for the ones who have the very same feeling for Ohio University that I and all of us do! Good luck in everything you do Mr. Taylor and you will be missed!

I'll take it another step further: He's the biggest reason I am making a point to not miss Senior Day.

I have this little sneaking suspicion that Stevie is going to have a great game tonight. He always seems to get "up" for the biggest games. His last game inside The Convo is one of those.

Multiple sources have indicated that he took the summer off and is exhibiting zero leadership in the locker room. Other kids were living in the gym; he was enjoying the fresh dough at Rotollo's Pizza in Columbus. He joins the pantheon of potentially special Ohio athletes who have had disappointing finishes in A-Town - Dontrell Jackson, Curtis Simmons, Ivo Baltic... It sucks to look back on your final year of college with regret.

It sucks to look back on your final year of college with regret. Did you seriously leave Tettleton off the list?!?! I love the list by the way, if only because I remember that as much as I loved OHIO, I was ready to move on to my real life by my senior year. I realize that's different than athletes, but there have to be some similarities to being burnt out.

He'll be an active alumnus and I wouldn't be surprised if he helped some with recruiting by talking up OHIO.

Stevie's biggest shortcoming is that he tried to play above his means and live up to the expectations of DJ Cooper, not that he didn't try at all. Stevie has been an ambassador for this program for 4 years both on and off campus and will continue to be for many years. The kid bleeds green. He also helped keep this team together through 2 coaching changes. I appreciate all he's done for Ohio University and appreciate the enthusiasm and excitement he has brought to the team for the past 4 years. MY STATE. MY TEAM.

Treg will be the only graduating Sr next year? Also, WOW, has it really been almost an entire year since last year's MAC Tourney and CIT run? Man. That doesn't feel like a year.

Stevie may not have scored much in the last game, but his ability to beat the traps and press (not stand there and wait for it to come to you, Bean) were huge. I'll miss seeing him in the Convo in green and white!

I'm disappointed for him this year didn't go as well as he hoped. Not disappointed IN him.
