Indiana Basketball: Lester Quinones Schedules Official Visit

Indiana basketball target Lester Quinones scheduled an official visit to Indiana on April 12.

Four-star senior guard Lester Quinones has set two more official visits later this month, including one to Bloomington and the Indiana basketball program.

Completing his allotted official visits, Quinones will take his visit to Indiana on April 12, while also visiting Michigan on April 29. He has already been on visits to LSU, Maryland and Memphis.

Ranked 65th in the country according to 247Sports Composite rankings, Quinones is down to seven schools, the five mentioned above as well as Ohio State and Georgia.

Quinones is one of the most sought-after players remaining in the 2019 class. Known for his terrific ability to shoot as well as his toughness, his stock soured after taking a prep year at IMG Academy this season.

According to Corey Evans, Quinones has taken two in-home visits with Maryland and Memphis within the last couple of weeks, both of which are rumored to be the frontrunners in his recruitment.

Quinones, who wasn’t highly recruited by Indiana until the last few months said this about his relationship with Indiana in a recent interview with Prepcircuit,

"“They came in just a little while ago and Coach Archie Miller has been texting me and my high school coaches lately. They need a scorer and shooter to come in right away, which I think I can do. I’m starting to build a strong relationship with Coach Miller and his assistants.”"

Quinones is a terrific scorer at all levels of the court. Great in transition, Quinones has top level speed in the open floor, with a terrific first step. The best part of his game is his shooting, though. With an incredibly quick release, Quinones has the ability to stretch the floor out to 23 feet.

With the recent announcement that freshman guard Romeo Langford would put his name in the 2019 NBA Draft, there is an immediate opening in the backcourt for Indiana.

The Hoosiers are still heavily involved in the recruitment of fellow four-star guard Harlond Beverly, five-star forward Trendon Watford, and Butler graduate transfer Joey Brunk.
