6-10 F/C from St. Andrews

Looks like he can shoot from the outside, and he's 6'10. Good skill set to have.

Verbal Commits shows him as a 2-star and the only offer I could find was Kennesaw State (Al Skinner's new coaching gig).

Need a post guy. I hope that's the goal.

Nothing against this kid, but I don't want to use our last scholarship on a project. We already have 2 of those on the roster.

When are we going to stop being negative about ML and MT? This kid could come in, redshirt and be a valued asset. He’s a EYBL kid... he must have some skill

Unless every coach in the country has missed on him, I assume he's a project. Haven't given up on ML and MT, but from what I've seen, I still would call them projects.

I don't think it is a we thing. I think it is more a handful of ppl, but they just bang the drum so loud it seems like there are more. Get size any way that you can. By hook or crook. Our team is going to have a serious front line in terms of bodies we can throw at ppl. A true sign that a team outside of the P-5 has a higher profile

Just watched about 15 minutes of highlights of Jack, so now I'm an expert, I like his game!! He's not some stiff long term project, he's 6'10" with skills. Ok,Ok, I know it's highlights, but you can't teach height and you can assess footwork, hands and court awareness from video. Get him signed up! Our 2018 class will be 6'3", 6'5", 6'7", 6'9" and 6'10". And in case anyone is counting that's a PG, SG, SF, PF and C. I was bummed to see Amir de-commit, but I sure wouldn't mind landing Jack at C.

I will go watch him in Barrington in 6 weeks or so. I will have more accurate opinion of him after that.

I'm thinking his St. Andrew's coach brought him to URI to sell him to Hurley and the gang. I'm sure they'll check him out, but I don't know how much interest there is on our part.

Grew 5 or 6 inches in last two years. Transferred in from Wisconsin. Be interesting to see how he does against better competition.

I'm more intrigued by a closer relationship with St Andrews and Hart. Regardless if it's this kid or another kid down the line, they are the only school in RI worth having a connection with for where our program wants to go.

True, very good program right now. Already sending one to Villanova and one to Syracuse from this year's team.

Quinlevan was a wing up until his sophomore year he really shot up so he’s got some outside skills and ability to be a little
Versatile , according to a few people who have seen some SA practices recently he’s pretty good

If not a scholarship what about preferred walk-on status with potential chance at a full ride??? If Hart is bringing him down here as a "unofficial" audition why not appease a coach that has sent p,entry of player to D1 programs and some to the NBA. If he thinks the kid can play and he (Quinlevan) is a legit 6'10" I don't see the harm.

After watching tonight's game we sure can use anybody that's 6'10 and has any skills at all

Why would any kid that will get D1 offers come here as a walk on with a chance to maybe get a ship? Hey kid please turn down other opportunities to PLAY. And get a free education becuase Danny Hurley needs you as a walk on and a chance?

More of a possibility if URI ends up with two scholarships available.

I was only saying he could come in as a walk-on based upon his current offers or lack thereof. You’re right he could go start for kenesaw state....who the hell is that!

In yesterday's St Andrews game JQ scored 2 points.....Cole Swider had 34...someday I hope local kids like Swider and Duke give Rhody a serious look....

Swider has 39 and 34 in his first 2 games. And he's coming off of a broken wrist. His 3 point shot isn't quite back yet and he's one of the best shooters in the country. He's finding other ways to score. I don't think Quinlevan is a Div. 1 prospect. He's just big.
