Jack Ringel Quotations

When I met him I saw a well-mannered kid with raw basketball ability who at the same time was struggling with everyday life skills. At first to me it was a challenge to help this kid because he was so likable. I wasn't thinking he'd be a big player or anything. I was trying to change the kid's life around for him.

I feel that it's in his best interests to put his name in the draft and gauge the interest of NBA people.

He was always a good listener. He wasn't one of those kids who came on the team and thought he knew everything. He would ask question after question after question.

Quincy thought about what Freddie said and he respects Coach Hill's advice very much. He spent the weekend thinking about the pros and cons of it. He decided to basically test the waters and see what the response will be.

Quincy knows there are no guarantees and it's very early in the whole draft process. If it indicates that he's a first-round pick, he's going to remain in the draft.

That's where Quincy can make a favorable impression. The thing about Quincy is he does great in his individual workouts, so whatever (the advisory committee) says, you have to consider that it's very early in the draft process.

It's just like with anything else, if the situation is correct, we will have to explore the N.B.A. option. If it's not the correct option, then he will have another year to stay at Rutgers.

The NBA almost forces you to put your name in. But he's going to be very careful and do everything by the book. If he's not a first-round pick, then it's not worth it to go now. He'll get a diploma and that's worth something, too.
