  • Duke, Miami, Temple, Xavier, Syracuse Visit 2017 Point Guard Quade Green

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Quade Green hosted a series of big-time schools this week at Philadelphia Neumann-Goretti High School.

    Xavier and Temple had school visits with the 6-foot point guard from the PSA Cardinals, while Duke and Miami watched him during an open gym on Wednesday. Syracuse watched him the week before.

    Syracuse, Miami, Xavier and Temple have already offered, while Duke is showing interest.

    “Nate James and Nolan Smith were down,” Goretti coach Carl Arrigale told SNY.tv. “They seem really interested. They like him a lot.”

    Duke has Frank Jackson coming in to run the point in 2016-17, but is looking at several 2017 point guards, including Green and Matt Coleman of Oak Hill (VA) Academy.

    “[Green] is a real hard worker so his ceiling is high,” Arrigale said. “He’s really out to show he can run a team. He is a plus shooter and ball-handler with a great deal of poise and no fear. He has a chance to be special.”

    Green led the PSA Cardinals to an undefeated weekend at the Nike EYBL stop in Brooklyn last weekend and will be in Indianapolis this weekend.

    He said in Brooklyn that Syracuse, Texas, Xavier, Villanova, Temple, St. Joe’s, Providence, Louisville and Michigan State were just some of the schools competing the hardest for his commitment.

    He has already visited Syracuse, Villanova, Temple, Saint Joe’s and Rutgers, and said he plans to visit Louisville, Miami and Michigan State. Green also recently picked up offers from Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas A&M.

    Terrance “Munch” Williams, the PSA Cardinals director, told SNY.tv that Green will not cut his list before August.

    “Hopefully, I commit in September,” he said on Saturday. “That’s when I want to.”
