It was an impressive showing, especially considering Ohio State commitment and defensive specialist Luther Muhammad guarded him from start to finish. But the questions he was asked after the game had nothing to do with him or his game. They were all about Quickley's friend, five-star forward Zion Williamson, and his thoughts on his decision going into the final week of his recruitment. Though there are rumors Williamson has already made his decision, Quickley doesn't think his mind is 100% made up, and Kentucky still has a great shot. "I honestly 100 percent do not know if he made up his mind," he told Adam Zagoria. "I think he has a couple of schools that are really favored but I don’t know if he’s 100 percent made up his mind. Kentucky is definitely in there.” If Williamson joined him at Kentucky, Quickley believes the Wildcats would win a national title. "I think we could win a national championship," he said. "With him, he’s a monster on offense and defense so that just makes it easier for everybody else." And if he ends up staying home, specifically at Clemson? "Clemson’s about an hour from his home, you can’t be mad at somebody going to college an hour away.” To read the rest of Quickley's interview with Adam Zagoria, head on over to ZagsBlog.com.
