Scout Report
IMG Academy's gym is stacked with five-star talent these days, but the kid running point on the second unit might be the one college coaches should circle first. Quentin Mosby just picked up his first two offers in the span of two weeks, and that's usually how it starts — one domino, then the rush.
Background
Mosby arrived at IMG Academy as part of a loaded 2028 class that includes top-50 bigs Bamba Touray and Dylan Betts, and he's had the benefit of practicing against — and learning from — Arkansas commit Darius Acuff Jr., a four-star point guard three classes ahead of him. That kind of daily competition at IMG tends to speed up development fast, and it shows in how Mosby plays beyond his years. Details on his pre-IMG hometown and AAU circuit are still thin, which isn't unusual for a 2028 prospect this early in his profile, but the program pedigree already surrounding him says plenty about where he's trending.
Playing Style
Mosby is a combo guard in the truest sense — he can play either backcourt spot and his game doesn't change much depending on which one he's asked to fill. He pushes pace in transition without rushing decisions, which is a rare trait for a guard his age; most kids either sprint recklessly or coast, and he does neither. In ball-screen actions he reads the second defender well, understanding when to hit the roll man and when to pull it back out and reset. Defensively he's got the frame and length at 6-2 to guard both guard spots, and he competes on that end rather than just standing around waiting for the ball. His shot selection skews smart — not a high-volume shooter yet, but he picks spots where he can do damage. What separates him from a lot of combo guards at this stage is his patience; he doesn't look like he's playing to impress, he looks like he's playing to win possessions.
Strengths
His feel for the pick-and-roll stands as the clearest NBA-translatable skill right now — he manipulates the defense with pace rather than pure speed, which should age well. Coaches watching tape will notice his frame at 6-2, which already projects as functional size for a combo guard at the high-major level. He's also shown he can defend up a position, which matters more and more as spacing stretches rosters thin on switches. The fact that Oregon State and Minnesota both jumped in within a two-week window suggests programs see real juice in his trajectory, not just potential on paper.
Areas to Watch
Shooting consistency from the perimeter is the obvious swing skill — if his jumper tightens up off movement and off the catch, his offensive ceiling jumps considerably. He'll also need to add strength to hold up against bigger, more physical guards as he climbs levels of competition, since his frame is still developing. Continued reps against the kind of talent he sees daily at IMG — especially someone like Acuff Jr. — should accelerate both of those areas naturally.
Player Comparison
His game draws some comparison to a young Tyus Jones — not for flash, but for the way he controls tempo and avoids mistakes in ball-screen situations. Like Jones, Mosby's value isn't going to show up in highlight reels as much as it shows up in winning possessions and taking care of the ball. If the jumper develops the way scouts hope, that comparison only gets stronger.
Recruitment
Mosby picked up his first two offers in quick succession — Minnesota two weeks ago, Oregon State six days ago — which typically signals a recruitment about to accelerate. As a 2028 prospect, he's got years before any decision, but early offers from high-major programs at this stage are a strong signal of where evaluators think he's headed. Expect more Power Four programs to get involved over the next year as his tape circulates, especially given the attention IMG's roster already draws. No commitment is imminent, and there shouldn't be — this is the opening stretch of a long recruitment.
Projection
At the college level, Mosby profiles as a lead or combo guard capable of running an offense while defending both backcourt spots — the kind of player high-major programs build depth charts around. His pro ceiling will hinge almost entirely on the jump shot; if it comes along, he's a legitimate rotation guard projection down the line, and if it doesn't, he's still a quality depth piece whose feel for the game keeps him on the floor. Either way, the foundation — pace control, size, defensive versatility — gives him a wide range of positive outcomes.
