by Jim Quinn MD Varsity.com Another player who we saw over last weekend's long Tournament schedule who impresed us was Archbishop Spalding's 6'7" 225 pound senior forward Danny Quinn... Quinn "held court" inside in Spalding's 79-76 loss to SMCA with his strength, toughness, and willingness to bang inside..... what is different about Quinn's game this year from his junior year at Spalding is his ability to step out and drain 15 to 19 foot jump shots. Quinn hit three outside shots against SMCA, one from just inside the arc,,,, Quinn transferred to Spalding in 2004-2005 after two years at DeMatha. "He has really improved, Coach Glick told us at Bulis. "Danny can really step out and hit the outside shot, he couldn't really do that last year. He has really improved, gotten stronger, and he's playing with more confidence. He's always been a tough kid who doesn't mind mixing it up inside. He is starting to get D-I interest and I definitely think he can plat D-I." Glick added that, toughness, size, and emerging skills aside, colleges like Quinn's 3.6 GPA and 1300 SAT score. The other two senior starters at Spalding are already committed to colleges: senior point guard Derek Young (another outstanding student/athlete) has committed to the Naval Academy and swingman Danny Palumbo has committed to play baseball at George Maso University. Young and Palumbo, like Quinn, also started their prep careers out at other schools. Palumbo, whose father is now thge Athletic Director at Towson Catholic, originally attended DeMatha with Quinn. Young attended Suitland High School as a freshman.
