Quincy Ford, a 6’7 wing prospect from Gibbs High School, in St. Pete, Florida, is taking his first official visit this weekend. Ford knows exactly what he is looking for in a college program to help him make his decision: “Academically, I’m looking for a school where I will excel and be successful at. Athletically, I’m looking for a school where I fit their style of play, and will have an opportunity to play early in my career and be developed into a highly elite player. Most likely I plan on signing late, especially if I am not happy with the schools that have offered me.” – Quincy Ford

Quincy Ford will visit Northeastern University this weekend. Northeastern, who is coached by Bill Coen, went 20-13 overall last year and 14-4 in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Huskies lost to Connecticut by two points in the NIT last season.
