Felipe Quinones
#149Florida Atlantic
Scout Report
Playing alongside the nation's top talent at Columbus High School has helped forge one of Florida's most promising guards into a legitimate D1 prospect.
Background
Hailing from Bradenton, Florida, Felipe Quinones has built his reputation at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, where he competes on one of the most talent-loaded rosters in high school basketball. Playing alongside elite prospects like Cameron Boozer and Cayden Boozer, both Duke commits, as well as Miami-bound Caleb Gaskins, Quinones has been tested against top competition daily in practice and games.
Playing Style
Standing 6-4, Quinones brings ideal size for the combo guard position, able to play both on and off the ball effectively. His length allows him to see over defenders and create passing lanes, while his versatility makes him a valuable asset in multiple offensive sets. Playing with such high-level teammates has accelerated his basketball IQ and decision-making, as he's learned to impact winning without always needing to be the primary option. His ability to complement star players while still making his own mark demonstrates the kind of role player mentality that translates well to college basketball.
Recruitment
Despite holding 10 Division I offers from programs including Baylor, Michigan, Florida State, Purdue, and Cincinnati, Quinones ultimately committed to Florida Atlantic. The decision to stay in-state suggests a strong relationship with the FAU coaching staff and a belief in their program's upward trajectory. His #148 national ranking in the 2026 class indicates significant upside potential for continued development at the next level.
