Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly announced that he was transferring to Memphis on Thursday via his Twitter account. Quinerly will spend his sixth and final season playing for former four-time NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway.
Coming out of high school, Quinerly was a McDonald’s All-American. The New Jersey native fielded offers from programs across the country but ultimately chose to commit to Villanova.
Quinerly spent just one season playing for Jay Wright’s Wildcats. He played in 25 games averaging 3.2 points per game. Following the conclusion of his freshman season, Quinerly chose to transfer to Alabama to play for Nate Oats.
Quinerly would go on to spend the next three seasons playing for the Crimson Tide. He played in 98 games total and made 40 starts. Quinerly averaged 11.7 points per game, 2.3 rebounds per game, and 3.7 assists per game during his Alabama career.
Several of Quinerly’s most memorable performances came during the postseason. He was named as the SEC Tournament MVP in 2021. Quinerly was a key reason for why Alabama was able to win two SEC Championships in 2021 and 2023.
Quinerly will be joining a Memphis team that lost some firepower last season with Kendric Davis heading to the NBA. However, Hardaway and the rest of the coaching staff have assembled a competitive squad. Five-star Mikey Williams, Louisiana transfer Jordan Brown, and Florida State transfer Caleb Mills are few of the newcomers that will join Quinerly
The Tigers are poised to have a good season in 2023-2024. Quinerly will be a key piece to the roster and will look to lead the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament.
