Guard Quinton Rose commits to Temple

Quinton Rose, a 6-foot-5 combination guard from Bishop Kearney in Rochester, N.Y., has become the first Temple basketball recruit for the class of 2016.

Rose told Scout.com that he had visited Temple and George Washington. A Temple source confirmed the commitment.

"His strength is his IQ and his versatility," said Allen Rubin, a recruiting analyst for the Hoop Scoop website.

"He is a good defender. His mid-range shot is good, but I would say his three-point shot is something that needs improvement."
