The Alabama coaching staff will have its work cut out for it following Jahvon Quinerly’s decision to enter the transfer portal.
Quinerly was a clutch player for the Crimson Tide in postseason play. He was one of the key reasons Alabama won SEC championships in 2021 and 2023.
With his departure, the coaching staff could look in a variety of directions. As it stands, Alabama has 10 scholarship players for next year’s roster. North Dakota State transfer Grant Nelson is expected to commit to Alabama in the near future pending something unforeseen. That would give Alabama 11 scholarship players with two spots remaining.
The likelihood of the coaching staff filling both roster spots is low, however, given the level of talent available in the transfer portal. There is an increased chance Alabama adds one more transfer to the roster before preparing for next season.
Roll Tide Wire lists some of the potential transfers available that could replace Quinerly for the 2023-2024 season.
