Rice transfer G Quincy Olivari includes Texas among finalists

Landing an experienced guard from the NCAA transfer portal is a priority for new Texas Longhorns head coach Rodney Terry and his staff with former Rice Owls guard Quincy Olivari one of the targets.

Along with Auburn, Miami, and Xavier, Texas is one of four finalists for the Georgia native, who narrowed his list after receiving interest from dozens of schools since entering the portal. Olivari currently has visits set with the Tigers and Musketeers.

Out of Westlake High School in Atlanta, Olivari was lightly recruited as a member of the 2019 recruiting class, ultimately ranking outside the top 400 players nationally in the 247Sports Composite rankings despite helping Westlake win a state title in 2016 and averaging 15 points per game as a senior.
