Five-star recruit Immanuel Quickley, a rising senior at John Carroll School in Bel Air, Md., played pickup basketball with former Maryland star Melo Trimble during an unofficial visit at the school last summer. Quickley, a highly sought-after recruit in the class of 2018, trimmed down his list of schools to four May 29, with Maryland still contending with Miami, Kansas and Kentucky.
While playing with Trimble, who hired an agent and is heading into the 2017 NBA Draft, the two Maryland natives talked about the school. It was both a recruiting mission from Trimble and a fun shoot-around.
"At the same time, we're playing and having fun and playing the game that we love," Quickley said on Glenn Clark Radio June 5. "But on the other side, they tell me Maryland is cool, so it's both."
