Immanuel Quickley: Everyone wants to know if (John Calipari) coaching me was an advantage because he’s one of the coaches that’s recruiting me and I’d have to say it was. We didn’t talk about recruiting at all, but just spending that time with him and getting to know him better on and off the court was a lot of fun. I think it would’ve been an advantage with anyone who coached that (U.S. U-19) team. (USA Today)
