Gibbs High School product, Quincy Ford, has made his decision. After trimming his list from UNCW, Bryant, West Point, and North Florida down to two schools: Northeastern and Stetson last week, Ford decided to commit to Northeastern University Sunday night. Quincy helped lead the Gibbs Gladiators to a 16-5 record as a junior, earning third team all South Division Pinellas County Athletic Conference and honorable mention all Pinellas County.

“I felt they were the best fit for me academically and were a great fit for me on the court. I thought both Stetson and Northeastern were great, and I felt very comfortable with both of their coaching staffs, but I felt more comfortable at Northeastern.” – Said Quincy Ford

Ford is a 6’7 skilled wing, who can start the break as a point-forward. He handles the ball well enough to take quicker guards off the dribble, and he displays great court vision. He shoots the ball very well for his size, and does a great job of using his skill set to create high percentage shots for his teammates. He is an above average athlete, but needs to use his size to do a more effective job on the glass. Overall, Quincy is one of the state’s biggest sleepers as a prospect.

Northeastern University is coached by Bill Coen and earned a 14-4 record in the Colonial Athletic Association and an overall record of 20-13. Northeastern received a bid to the NIT where they lost to University of Connecticut last season.
