LINCOLN, Neb. (Press Release) – Nebraska men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg announced Wednesday that Quentin Rhymes has signed a financial aid agreement and will join the Husker basketball program for the 2025-26 season.
Rhymes, a 6-foot-7, 195-pound wing from Las Vegas, Nev., plays for national power Hillcrest (Ariz.) Prep and Coach Marcus Gantt. The Bruins’ postgrad team is unbeaten so far in 2024-25, and Rhymes had 20 points along with eight rebounds, six assists and four steals in a game last week.
A four-star prospect by 247Sports, Rhymes was rated No. 136 nationally by On3, which ranked him as a three-star prospect. Both publications had him among the top 15 prospects in the state of Arizona for the class of 2025.
“Quentin is a skilled guard who fits well in our system,” Hoiberg said. “He is a good shooter with length and athleticism on the wing and can play through contact. He also handled the ball with the Las Vegas Knicks AAU program and showed good court vision and a high basketball IQ. He reminds me of Brice Williams, as Quentin has a similar skillset and is someone who can develop in our system.”
Rymes played for Coach Lamar Bigby with the Las Vegas Knicks on the PRO16/NXT League circuit, averaging 17.5 points, six rebounds and five assists per game, highlighted by a 40-point effort.
He played his first three seasons of high school at Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas before spending his senior year at Bella Vista (Ariz.) College Prep.
Rhymes, who played in the 2023 Pangos All-American Camp, selected Nebraska over New Mexico, Boise State, UNLV, and UC Santa Barbara. The son of Wayne and Maria Rhymes, the elder Rhymes played college basketball at Portland State and Colorado-Colorado Springs before playing professionally overseas.
