Junior year (2005-06) pre-season report from Head Coach Travis Ford: "Stephane, I'd say, is one of the best defenders in the Atlantic 10, bar none. He can really change a game with his defense, he is a difference maker. He is one of the best shot blockers I have ever coached. He's somebody who has to develop more confidence in his offensive game, I think I believe in it more than he probably does. He is getting better every day. I love his attitude on the court. Stephane comes to the gym everyday ready to work, listen and learn and his best days are ahead of him. I think once he realizes how good he could be, the sky is the limit for him."
