Luis Kortright – 6’3 Guard – Rhode Island Rams

In April, Quinnipiac junior guard Luis Kortright announced that he would transfer to the University of Rhode Island next Fall. The addition significantly improves the Rams’ backcourt for the 2023-24 season.

Last season, the 6-foot-3 guard averaged 10.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and shot 38.9 percent with the Bobcats. Kortright led Quinnipiac to a season-opener road victory against Rhode Island with 15 points, five rebounds, three assists, and five steals. Who would’ve thought a little under a year after that game, he would soon call the Ryan Center his new home?

“All my contacts were coming from Archie Miller himself — everywhere else there were assistant coaches, and you want to hear from the person who makes the calls,” Kortright said on the Rhody Rumble podcast when asked why he chose the Rams.

Kortright joins a program coming off a 9-22 campaign and won just five games in the Atlantic 10 in year one of the Archie Miller era in Kingston. The Rams will look ahead to next season, welcoming several fresh faces and hoping to push toward another conference title and NCAA tournament appearance soon.
