Millie Stevens brings veteran forward grit to Illinois State
Millie Stevens has been a reliable frontcourt presence for Illinois State, with earlier Redbirds seasons showing a blend of rebounding, inside scoring, and steady minutes that coaches trust. In the 2017-18 season, she averaged 2.4 points and 2.3 rebounds, and in the 2016-17 season she posted 5.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game while starting six times, which hints at a player who can do the dirty work without needing touches[1]. The differentiator is her experience, toughness, and willingness to battle on the glass—useful traits if you want a forward who adds depth, physicality, and low-drama consistency[1].
