Rebounding with positioning and effort
Jamichael Stillwell credits his rebounding to positioning and effort rather than exceptional athleticism. In his Texas Tech season debut on November 10, 2026, he came off the bench for 11 points and 13 rebounds, six of them offensive, in an 84-78 win over Illinois.
Now a fifth-year forward on Texas Tech’s 2026-27 men’s roster, Stillwell graduated from Elevation Prep in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 2022. He says he developed his love for basketball in junior college, where he learned discipline and the importance of continued work. He also credits his nickname, Mr. Stand On Business, to helping his freshman junior-college team reach the playoffs. During his Milwaukee season, associate head coach Jake Williams said Stillwell had exceeded the staff’s expectations.
