Ques Glover signs with BYU

PROVO, Utah – BYU men’s basketball has added graduate transfer Ques Glover to its 2023-24 roster, head coach Mark Pope announced on Wednesday afternoon.

Glover, a 6-foot guard, joins the Cougars with one year of eligibility remaining having scored over 1,000 points during his four-year collegiate career. He appeared in 99 games including 46 starts during stints at Florida and Samford, averaging 10.3 points per game while shooting 46.1 percent from the floor, 30.6 percent from three and 78.2 percent from the free throw line.

The native of Knoxville, Tenn., was a two-time All-SoCon player during his two seasons at Samford, where he averaged 17.4 points, 3.5 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game. In 2022-23, he earned NABC All-District 21 Second Team honors after scoring 14.7 points per game while shooting 48.0 percent from the floor, 37.8 percent from three and 84.7 percent from the charity stripe. He scored in double figures in 14 of his 19 appearances including five performances with 20 or more.

In his first season in Birmingham, Ala., Glover (name pronounced KWEZ Glover) ranked 34th in the nation in scoring, averaging 19.2 points per game en route to being named to the All-SoCon First Team. He was also named a finalist for the Lou Henson Award, an award given annually by CollegeInsider.com to the most outstanding mid-major men’s college basketball player in NCAA Division I competition.

He scored in double figures in 27 times including a career-high 30 points against the Citadel, going 13-of-18 from the floor, 1-of-2 from three and 3-of-5 from the charity stripe. That performance made him one of 26 players in NCAA Division I men’s basketball since 2010-11 to record a 25-point, 10-assist double-double with only one 3-pointer.

He appeared in 51 games during his two-year stint at Florida, averaging 3.6 points per game, shooting 42.1 percent from the floor, 24.6 percent from three and 62.8 percent from the free throw line. He scored in double figures four times as a true freshman in 2019-20 including a 11-point performance in a 78-58 victory over Miami.

Glover is the Cougars’ third addition from the transfer portal this offseason, joining Aly Khalifa and Dawson Baker.
