Seems Quincy is doing well after basketball and is very appreciative of his time at RU. Nice to have him back at the RAC! Thanks Richie

Seems like a great role model for our team- so humble, and appreciative. A loyal son for sure.

Did they introduce Douby last night? I got to the game a little late so I may have missed it if it was in the beginning. I was waiting every time out to give a big standing ovation. Glad he is doing well and still follows the team!

They did pretty quickly.

Very disappointed with how RU handled Q last night. Was hoping for at least an on court intro...not some quickie hit and run on the scoreboard

I agree BK. It was a quick cameo and he got very little applause as no one can hear the damn PA Announcer. Douby is a legend at RU and he should have been treated as such

agree with that as well...poor job by Hobbs there...was a very quick announcement after the first timeout after a bunch of other stuff already happened. Not good. They should have done a long intro with his stats and accomplishments....maybe even a little video montage

I can personally vouch that Q was treated like a conquering hero for his entire visit, except for during the game!

From being welcomed by the entire team and staff at practice Tuesday (in a variety of ways), to the personal tour of the APC...down to the box of popcorn they grabbed for his son...it seemed so odd that they didn't do essentially anything to bring attention to him at the RAC.

Q told me he didn't mind though, that it should have been about the kids on the floor that night. He took countless pics and signed autographs, did interviews and took it all in. Truly enjoyed his experience...so credit due to RU there for sure!

They did a nice little highlight package of him on the TV broadcast. Figured our own program could have done the same on the scoreboard. Retire #5

They did the same very brief mention for Devin McCourty, who is one of our more successful NFL alumni.

Thanks for the info guys. He definitely deserved something more than a quick shot on the jumbotron, but glad he was treated well during his visit.
