MOSCOW, Idaho – The local product is staying in town, with Moscow High star Gabe Quinnett joining the Idaho men's basketball team ahead of the 2019-20 season.
 
"Gabe's a young guard with length and size that shoots it really well," said interim head coach Zac Claus.  "He loves the game and is only going to get better.  He's a terrific student, has a great maturity about him and we're lucky to have him.
 
"He's been an Idaho fan for many years.  To realize that dream and play for your hometown team and your state school is going to be a whole lot of fun."
 
Quinnett, the son of former Washington State and NBA player Brian Quinnett, was stellar during his career with the Bears.  He led the squad to three straight 4A Inland Empire League Championships and three appearances in the state tournament.  Quinnett was named the 4A Inland Empire League MVP in back-to-back seasons to close out his high school career, and earned North Idaho 4A/5A Player of the Year recognition as a senior.
 
A 6-4 guard, Quinnett averaged nearly 22 points, eight rebounds and four assists as a senior at Moscow High.
