Out of all of the players (300+) at the Division One level that have either entered or pledged to enter the transfer portal, Stillwell is the No. 2 rebounder available. The 6-foot-8 forward, 225-pound forward averaged 13 points and 10.7 rebounds per game this year for the Panthers.

This was his first season at Milwaukee, coming from Butler County Community College in Kansas. He is an Atlanta, Georgia native, whose nickname is “Mr. Stand On Business,” according to the Milwaukee basketball roster. Stillwell played high-school ball at Elevation Prep.

This season, Stillwell posted a 19-rebound game against Green Bay, as well as a 26-point game against Robert Morris. He averaged 28 minutes per game and shot 29% from three-point range, making 20 threes on the season. Stillwell blocked 12 shots and had 40 steals on the year, while scoring in double figures 26 times.

Kayser also reported that he has received interest from the following schools so far: Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Loyola Marymount, Kansas State, Iowa State, Illinois, Georgia, Georgia Tech, George Washington, Florida State, DePaul, Dayton, Colorado, Cincinnati, BYU, Butler, and others.
