Alabama PG Jahvon Quinerly withdraws from NBA Draft, returning to Alabama for final season

Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly will withdraw for the 2023 NBA Draft and return to Alabama for his sixth and final season!

Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly has withdrawn his name from the 2023 NBA draft and will return to Tuscaloosa for his sixth and final season.

Quinerly began his college career at Villanova in 2018. He was regarded as a five-star recruit coming out of Hudson Catholic School in Jersey City, New Jersey.

After spending one season with the program, Quinerly entered his name into the transfer portal. He chose to transfer to Alabama and play for first-year head coach Nate Oats.

Quinerly sat out for one season but has played in each of the last three seasons. He has averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 assists, and 2.3 rebounds per game in his time with the Crimson Tide.

He is commonly known for his play in the NCAA Tournament. Quinerly is a great facilitator and has steadily improved as a shooter throughout his college career.

Quinerly’s decision to return is a big deal for an Alabama team that saw three starters — Noah Clowney, Brandon Miller, and Charles Bediako, head to the NBA. His veteran presence and leadership will be welcomed in Tuscaloosa next season as the Tide look to repeat as SEC champions and return to the NCAA Tournament.

Nate Oats anticipates Jahvon Quinerly will return to Alabama

Nate Oats speaks on the possibility of Jahvon Quinerly returning to Tuscaloosa.

The Wednesday deadline to stay in the draft or return to college looms for one Alabama basketball star player. Jahvon Quinerly is the lone player to not yet announce his intentions.

Brandon Miller, Noah Clowney and Charles Bediako are all leaving the Crimson Tide to pursue the NBA. Mark Sears announced that he will be returning to Alabama.

Now, Alabama men’s basketball head coach Nates Oats is saying that he anticipates Quinerly to withdraw from the draft and return to Tuscaloosa, according to Nick Kelly of the Tuscaloosa News.

Quinerly, who transferred to Alabama in 2019 after one season at Villanova, averaged 8.7 points per game, 3.6 assists and nearly two rebounds per game.

Having him return brings back offensive talent and veteran leadership.

Nothing is official until Quinerly announces it himself, but Oats’ statement surely makes it seem like that’s the direction Quinerly is trending in.

Former Alabama PG Jaden Bradley visiting with the Memphis Tigers

Former five-star recruit and Alabama player, Jaden Bradley, set to meet with the Memphis Tigers

The Alabama men’s basketball program will look much different in 2023 than it did this past year. The Tide lost all three assistant coaches to head coaching opportunities this off-season and the roster was purged by the NBA draft as well as the transfer portal.

One of the most surprising departures was former four-star recruit, Jaden Bradley. Coming out of high school, Bradly was a McDonald’s All-American as well as a top-25 player in the 2022 recruiting cycle. He was one of the biggest recruits Nate Oats has landed during his tenure in Tuscaloosa so it is definitely a tough loss for the Tide.

Bradley averaged 19.8 minutes a game and was good for 6.4 PPG and 3.1 APG. However, his inconsistency from the field was his downfall as he shot under 40% in 2022-2023.

Even though they are going through the NBA draft process, Oats is optimistic that Mark Sears and Jahvon Quinerly will return to Alabama next season. Bradley read the writing on the wall that he might get buried in the depth chart and has decided to pursue other options.

Earlier in the week Bradley met with North Carolina State, but today he will be meeting with the Memphis Tigers. With Penny Hardaway at the helm Memphis has become a very attractive landing spot for a lot of guys in the portal and I wouldn’t be shocked if this is where Bradley lands.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor Jaden Bradley’s potential transfer locations.

Alabama guard Jahvon Quinerly declares for NBA Draft while maintaining college eligibility

Alabama guard Jahvon Quinerly entered the NBA Draft on Friday per reports. However, he will retain his college eligibility and have the option to return to Alabama for a sixth year if he so chooses.

Alabama fifth-year guard Jahvon Quinerly will declare for the 2023 NBA Draft while maintaining his college eligibility. CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein was the first to report the news on Friday afternoon.

Quinerly has the option to return for a sixth season if he elects to forgo the draft and return to school.

Quinerly began his college career at Villanova in 2018. After spending one season with the Wildcats, he elected to enter the transfer portal. At that time, transfers were required to sit out a year. That is what Quinerly did during the 2019-2020 season.

During his first season of play in Tuscaloosa, Quinerly came off of the bench. He was the Tide’s sixth man and had a huge role in helping the Tide reach the Sweet Sixteen.

In the past two seasons, he has served as the team’s captain despite suffering a season-ending injury during his junior season.

As a senior, he was an instrumental player off of the bench for the majority of the season before being named a starter from the SEC Tournament onwards. His play in March has stood out in each of his three seasons in Tuscaloosa.

The opportunity for Quinerly to return will be there if he chooses to take advantage of his final year of college eligibility. If not, he will be heading off to the NBA.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor Quinerly’s decision as well as news surrounding the Alabama basketball program.

Alabama’s season ends with disheartening Sweet 16 loss to San Diego State, 71-64

The season has come to an end for the Alabama men’s basketball team. Once again, failing to advance past the Sweet 16.

Alabama men’s basketball fell to San Diego State in the Sweet 16 with a final score of 71-64. With this loss to the No. 5 seed Aztecs, the top-seeded Crimson Tide now have an all-time record in the Sweet 16 of 1-9.

The game was close for the full 40 minutes and Alabama even had a nine-point lead at one point in the second half, but abysmal shooting and a very physical game by San Diego State ultimately led the Tide to lose by seven.

Shooting only 32.4% from the field, the Crimson Tide made 23 of their 71 attempts and could only see three of the 27 shots from behind the arc fall.

Alabama won the rebound battle 52-48, but wasn’t able to turn that into too many scoring opportunities.

Star freshman Brandon Miller, who is projected to be a lottery pick in the 2023 NBA draft, only scored nine points. He led the team in rebounds, however, with 11. Though it’s not official, this was likely Miller’s final collegiate game.

In a season that saw the Crimson Tide win a program-record setting 31 games and win the SEC regular season championship and the conference tournament, many will likely see the inability to reach the Final Four as a disappointment.

The standards and expectations of Alabama basketball have been raised significantly in head coach Nate Oats’ short time with the team and it will certainly carry over into the 2023-2024 college basketball season.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Alabama basketball as its offseason gets underway.

Maryland HC Kevin Willard speaks highly of Alabama’s Jahvon Quinerly

Maryland head coach spoke with the media following Saturday’s loss to Alabama. Willard spoke highly of Alabama guard Jahvon Quinerly.

Following Maryland’s loss to Alabama, Terrapins head coach Kevin Willard spoke with the media. He was rather quick to point out Alabama guard Jahvon Quinerly’s performance.

“He killed us tonight but I’m really happy for Jahvon Quinerly,” Willard said.

Willard actually recruited Quinerly coming out of high school. The former Seton Hall assistant coach tried his best to pry Quinerly away from an arch-rival in the Villanova Wildcats. However, Quinerly chose to play for the Wildcats instead.

Quinerly put on a show from beyond the arc on Saturday night. He scored 22 points with 12 coming from three-point land. He also dished out two assists and had two steals.

In two games against the Terrapins, Quinerly has scored 36 points. Both of which came during the NCAA Tournament. That is quite the stat line for the New Jersey native.

Check out the best photos from Alabama’s Round of 32 win over Maryland to advance to the Sweet 16!

Alabama men’s basketball returns to the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years after defeating Maryland in the Round of 32 with a final score of 73-51.

The game started off slow for the Crimson Tide, but picked up toward the end of the first half. In the second half of the contest, Jahvon Quinerly and the rest of Alabama’s offense exploded. A five-point lead at the half grew to a 22-point lead to end the game.

The Aztecs of San Diego State await the Crimson Tide in the Sweet 16, which should make for an interesting game to watch as the two styles of play could lead to a high-scoring affair.
