NBPA Top 100 camp spotlight: Quentin Grimes
The 2017 NBPA Top 100 camp was filled with high-level point guards. That was the overlying theme of the week of work in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Texan Quentin Grimes was one of the guards that helped elevate the level of play at the national camp.
The 6-foot-4 floor general has watched his recruitment grow from regional to national during the last year. A number of schools are throwing a hat into the mix for the versatile guard from Houston.
“I’m having a little trouble with some schools right now,” Grimes said. “There are some schools that have come into the mix lately and are pushing hard. I’m trying to find what I like in a school right now.”
“I’ve been doing a lot more research on the coaches and the staffs. I’m trying to make some visits before July so I’m just trying to narrow things down.”
Grimes said Kansas is “one of the top three schools that are coming on me the hardest.” The other two? “I would probably say Texas with Coach Smart calling me every day and I would say maybe Arizona,” Grimes said.
Duke is also in the mix. So is Kentucky. He said he’d like to officially visit the Wildcats along with Texas and Kansas.
“I definitely want to cut my list down to around seven or eight,” said Grimes. “I kind of have a good idea of those schools, but I’m just trying to make sure that I have a good understanding with my Mom and I doing our research.”
