Even before he arrived at Kentucky, Quade Green assumed a leadership role. The point guard from Philly committed to Kentucky in November 2016 and immediately started recruiting others to join him. Some ventures were more successful than others (no hard feelings, Mohamed Bamba), but Green knew that in order for his recruiting class to be special, he had to take the lead.
“I like playing with good guys, so I had to try to get the good guys on my team,” he said simply.
Why do good guys like playing with Green? Another simple answer: he gets them the ball, a trait which earned him a reputation as one of the most popular guards in his class.
