Four-Star Prospect Lester Quinones Is The Latest Star Joining Penny Hardaway In Memphis

Four-star guard Lester Quinones has committed to playing basketball at Memphis, the 2019 prospect announced on Friday.

Quinones, a 6'5" combo guard, ranks No. 56 overall in 247Sports' composite rankings. His addition also moves the Tigers' to No. 5 overall in 247Sports' class rankings.

The Tigers made Quinones one of their top priorities in the 2019 class over the last couple months, hosting the sharpshooter for an official visit on March 13 and conducting several in-home visits with the IMG Academy star.

Quionones' list of finalists included Memphis, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan and LSU before he narrowed it down to Memphis and Indiana earlier in the week.
