The list of offers Roman Catholic forward Lamar Stevens has received prior to his senior season of basketball stretches far and wide.

With the possibility of Stevens and Roman teammate Tony Carr wanting to play together at the next level, all eyes were on Carr when he trimmed his list to five potential schools last week.

Today, however, Stevens tweeted out his top eight schools in no particular order:

No order... Temple Pitt Marquette Villanova PennState Indiana Maryland SMU

Stevens also holds offers from other Big 10, Atlantic 10, AAC, and ACC schools including Saint Joseph's, La Salle, Xavier, Iowa, Georgia Tech, and Florida State.

Commonly considered between both Stevens and Carr at this point are Temple, Penn State, Maryland, and Southern Methodist.

Stevens is still giving strong consideration to Villanova, despite the Big 5 school not offering Carr as well.

Both Temple and Penn State appear to have realistic chances of landing the duo as Carr and Stevens inch closer to making their college decisions.

The 6-foot-6 forward who plays for Nike-sponsored Team Final is a tough, physical wing who excels in transition and attacking the basket with his superior athleticism. Though he's not necessarily a true power forward, he has no problem turning his back to the basket and working for points in the paint.

CoBL will have more on this story shortly.
