If he waits until the spring maybe Hoyas can get back in there, but you get the vibe we're on the outside looking in...

I tend to agree at this point. I think early on Georgetown was one of the bigger programs recruiting him but his recruitment really took off this summer and now all the big boys are involved. I hope I am wrong and the staff is still working hard on him and has a chance, but I have not seen the Hoyas mentioned in anything that involves him in a while. Not sure if the recent interest in Ludlum is a sign that Lester, and the Hoyas, have both moved on. Coach Orr was at IMG on Sunday (first day of fall evaluations). Only player at IMG the staff has any involvement with is Lester Quinones. Tells me they are still in pursuit to some degree... I did not realize this. I hope they are still working hard on Quinones because I love his game. He has a smoothness to his game that makes the game look easy and the release on his shot is pure. I hope the staff is just in stealth mode and still have a real chance for him.

Evans: I am going to make this a package deal type of response, since both players are now teammates at IMG Academy. Terrence Shannon and Lester Quinones, now found in the top third of the Rivals150, might be even better than that. Shannon just turned 18 years old, has grown close to a foot since his freshman year and the progressions that he has made throughout the summer are nothing short of superb. The upside is staggering with him, and the fact that he can play a variety of positions, has alpha-dog traits to him and is all about getting better adds up to the fact that we might even have him a bit too low. Next to him is Quinones, a 6-foot-5 wing that is built to compete. This dude wants to go at the heads of the best. He scored 37 points in an Under Armour affiliated game in July against three top 50 prospects, where he had already lit the FIBA Under-18 America’s Championship event on fire by posting over 17 points per game in leading his Dominican Republic team from start to finish. In a day and age where shot-makers with size and toughness are as valuable as ever, Quinones might not be as high as he might end up in the final rankings, come April. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/rivals-ranking-week-2019-rivals150-updated-with-analyst-discussion

Patrick is doing everything he can on the recruiting trail. this is the guy. I'm glad Coach Ewing went down there face to face to meet with Lester Q. We've been in on him for a long time. The staff's been persistent...

I'm curious to know when/if he will release a "final list". The staff's been on him a long time.

Lester Quinones, a top-50 prospect who is completing his prep career at IMG Academy, might be one of the most under-recruited prospects from the 2019 class this fall. In today’s game, where giant shot-makers have become as valuable as ever, Quinones should be valued even more. However, for one reason or another, many have failed to identify just how good he is and can be.
I spent a day with Quinones last month and was immediately taken aback by just how much more explosive he has become. This is the same kid that was a top-five scorer at the FIBA Under-18 Americas Championships in June and a month later scored 37 points in a travel game against two five-star prospects. Quinones is in no rush to make a college decision, and he has yet to even take an official visit. I would expect him to keep his recruitment open this winter before he becomes a priority for the best of the best, leading to a spring signing.

Contenders: Florida, LSU, Maryland, St. John's, Georgia, Illinois, Georgetown, UCLA and others.
Early or late: Late.
Breakdown: Since making his way to IMG for his final season of high school, Quinones has found his way over to Florida. However, he's not taken any official visits and is pretty much a lock to wait until the spring to decide. He's arguably the best remaining jump shooter in the class of 2019 and with his size and a limited number of high-level options out there, we can see his recruitment expanding this winter.

Has there been any ‘smoke’ recently with Quinones?

Has there been any ‘smoke’ recently with Quinones? From what I've heard, Quinones is exploring ALL his options and a decision won't be made until late in this process...

That is what it looks like to me too. I want a super talented shooter as much as anyone, but I hope we are not spending too many resources chasing a player who has no idea what he wants.

The staff must remain in pursuit. We've been on him a long time...he's been to campus and PE has had an in-house visit with him. I agree...whoever decides to commit in the coming couple weeks we take; but we should continue to give attention to LesterQ.
