2026 SG Quincy Wadley talks Maryland, Villanova, and Georgia offers

Quincy Wadley, a 6-foot-4 guard from Arlington (VA) Bishop O’Connell, played up in age this summer with Team Takeover on Nike’s EYBL E16 Circuit. He was the team’s third-leading scorer at 11.0 points, and he added 2.1 assists per game during the regular season. 

“I really do everything on the floor,” Wadley told On3. “I play defense, get chase down blocks, get after it on offense, I’m really a two-way player all the way around. My playmaking ability has improved this summer, I’m more than just a shooter now, creating and beating people off the dribble. I watch a little bit of Luka Doncic with his change of pace. He’s not the fastest, but he always gets to his spots.”

On3 caught up with Quincy Wadley after a recent live viewing to talk about his recruitment.

Wadley talks recruitment

“Right now, I would say my top three offers are from Villanova, Maryland, and Georgia,” Wadley said. 

Villanova: “They play hard, and they’re very disciplined. I’ve had good interactions with their coaching staff so far, and people tell me the coaches are amazing and that they do right by their players.”

Maryland: “I know they are trying to recruit as much talent as they can to stay home. Me being one of those top recruits, they’re trying to keep it local.”

Georgia: “Coach Keem (Akeem Miskdeen) is the one that offered me. He tells me that they want a bunch of guys who just play hard, and they like that with me. They have some freedom on offense; it’s more freelance play style. I like Georgia.”

Wadley’s bloodlines

Quincy Wadley’s dad, also Quincy Wadley, played at Temple from 1997-2001. The 6-foot-4 guard was the 2000 A10 Tournament MVP and scored 1,452 career points for the Owls. 

“My dad played at Temple, and he played professionally for about ten years,” Wadley said. “My uncle, Kevin Lyde, played at Temple too.”

At the end of the day

“I’ll look at how each of these programs take care of their student-athletes,” Wadley said. “Not just on the court, but off the court as well. As a player, I want to be prepared, and I want to play for a coach that will have me ready on the floor. And someone who will get me better.”
