Quincy Guerrier finds a new home in the Big Ten

Former Oregon forward Quincy Guerrier has announced his next stop will be Champagne, Illinois to play for the Fighting Illini.

Former Oregon Ducks forward Quincy Guerrier has announced via Twitter that he will finish out his college career at Illinois. The 6-foot-8 Montreal native will have one season of eligibility remaining.

Guerrier came to the Ducks from Syracuse and he then spent the last two seasons in Eugene where he averaged 9.3 points and five rebounds a game, but his numbers and role with the team went down this past season.

Illinois finished 20-13 this past season and was one of the last entrants into the NCAA tournament where the Fighting Illini were bounced out by Arkansas 73-63 in the first round.

Guerrier is used to wearing orange from his time at Syracuse, but now it’ll be trimmed with some dark blue. He also fits the profile of a Big Ten player, strong, and physical, but also versatile, something Illinois could use in 2023-24.
