Quincy Smith’s summer plans started with an extended stay in Honolulu. While his teammates returned to their respective hometowns at the end of May, Smith opted to remain in Hawai’i to take summer courses.
Smith is entering his senior season with the University of Hawai’i basketball team, so extra summer classes will keep him on pace to graduate in 2016.
“I’m taking 15 units over the summer … that will keep me on track to graduate in the spring (of 2016),” he said.
Smith is from Antioch, California, and said he will be able to return home for a few weeks this month, but will return for the second session of summer courses in early-July.
