That would be a huge signing for sure. Not sure if he would go the college route based on his experience in the Olympics, but it would be nice to add him to 400m legacy.

If he decides to run in college, he'll be an RS-JR or Senior by the time the LA Olympics roll around. And if he does look at college, I hope he's looking at us.
That said, I think he turns pro like that Knighton kid out of Tampa, FL.

Folks, I guess it's okay to dream, but there is no way Quincy is considering A&T. Also, Westcoast, if he does decide to go to college, absent from injury, the only redshirt Quincy will see is the one he wears. 😊

I don't see him going the college route. His development would be a lot better as a pro because he would not have the unnecessary stresses of College life that athletes have and would also receive better individual personalized coaching. Take that money Q and move on College will be available for you later.

Plus, even if he signs somewhere like Texas, he'll have access to world-class training. Thankfully, we have those things in Greensboro, NC.

Take that money Q and move on College will be available for you later. NIL changes things for these kids. Quincy could command 6-figure deals as a college student. Plus, even if he signs somewhere like Texas, he'll have access to world-class training. Thankfully, we have those things in Greensboro, NC. He will receive a lot more as a pro then he will in a collegiate NIL deal . Also as a pro his nutritional needs and workouts will be individually designed. Knighton made double what the Collegian track athletes were being paid by turning pro then he would have in a NIL deal , which are far and in between for track and field athletes. Also he will be free of the academic stress that is involved also. "Some track athletes make NIL money. But it depends on how you look at it. Some track athletes have legitimate NIL deals, but not for the same reasons that the Quarterback for USC football has one. For men’s track and field, you won’t find much data on NIL deals for the men on google. But that’s because men’s track gets no television coverage, and doesn’t make money for the college, so simply being the fastest in the nation gives nobody a great reason to give you a deal. Those athletes also don’t have larger social media followings either". "College track athletes work incredibly hard competing against some of the best in the world and don’t get anywhere near enough credit. It is understandable to want to be compensated for all that work, and NIL seems like it is the way to do it. But whenever a rule changes, it’s almost always done with somebody in mind. If you are the quarterback for Texas football, NIL is here to pay you out. But if you are the best 100 meter sprinter for Longhorns track team, that rule really had nothing to do with you. If you have to go out looking for NIL deals, the reason is because you are looking for something that probably doesn’t exist. If it did they would have likely called you already. And if this thing gets any more out of hand, the money that actually pays for many track teams could be threatened really soon. So if you are college track athlete and serious about making money from NIL, there’s only one thing that I have figured out that works. I just hope you are really great at TikTok dances to pull it off". "On the women’s side the On3.com actually keeps rankings of projected NIL values. Amongst the top 6 women in track and field, none of them have ever been an All American. In fact only one of them has ever even competed at the NCAA championships. Katelyn Tuohy is the only national champion on the list at all and she is ranked number 8! What all those women ahead of her in the top 6 have in common is they have more than twice her social media following. That clearly has nothing to do with their performance on the track! So NIL money in track and field, apparently has almost nothing to do with how good you are in the sport even if you are the best. So it’s easy to see why there is almost no money available for the rest of the athletes who lose to them"

Maybe Quincy is looking for something different. He may be looking for the HBCU experience.

Every entity on that campus will talk him out of it. My niece graduated from there last year.

Unfortunately, you don't go to Bullis to go to an hbcu. They are sprinkled in across the HBCU landscape for a school of there size 900. But you are correct very few in HBCU in the South past Atlanta. I think the young man is going to go Pro. In my opinion it would be a waste to not capitalize on his talent financially while the opportunity is right $$$. He has good advisors around him so College will be available. Hypothetically speaking if he was to choose College and his injured and never return to form you would have wasted an opportunity that only comes once in awhile.
