Quincy Douby Verbals To Hofstra

Quincy Douby, a lanky 6-3, 172 pound sharpshooter from Grady H.S. in Brooklyn, N.Y., committed to Hofstra.

"I just felt comfortable," Douby said. "I feel I can be a better player at Hofstra. I feel very comfortable with the coaches and players."

Most observors thought Douby was headed to Seton Hall. However, over the past weekend, Douby changed his thought process.

"I really feel that with the players and coaches at Hofstra I can do really well there," Douby said. "I have known the players and coaches for a long time."

Previously, Douby said he had a top three list of Seton Hall, Villanova and Hofstra.

Douby had previously knocked his list down to five colleges, with George Mason and Rutgers rounding out his list.

A perimeter marksman, Douby has an overall smooth floor game. He can shoot off the bounce, has a quick shot release and can bring the ball up on offense (though he is not really a pure point). His one glaring weakness at this stage is his general lack of physical strength, and he often has trouble finishing contested shots around the basket.
