NCAA Basketball: Analyzing Jahvon Quinerly’s top 4 transfer options

Former NCAA Basketball five-star recruit Jahvon Quinerly is reportedly down to four transfer options. Which one is the best for him?

After two NCAA Basketball championships, Jay Wright and Villanova saw their recruiting take a sharp turn for the better, having serious interest from five-star prospects. A year ago, they were able to land one in Jahvon Quinerly, a highly talented guard from New Jersey that is part of the famous “Jelly Fam” group.

He was supposed to play a big part of the Wildcats plans last season but it just never worked out. After just a few games, Quinerly was relegated to the back of the bench, only getting meaningful minutes whenever a guard in the rotation got injured. He only scored in double figures just once and overall averaged just 3.2 ppg in 9.1 mpg.

For some reason or another, it wasn’t a good fit and at the end of the season, Quinerly entered the transfer portal. Even with the disappointing individual campaign, nervous power conference programs were interested in his services. And after sorting through them all, it seems that he’s settled in on the quartet of Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia and Pittsburgh, according to Rival Recruiting’s Corey Evans.

Barring some unexpected waiver, Quinerly will have to sit out this upcoming season and will be eligible to play in 2020-21. A lot can happen roster-wise for each of these teams, so here’s a current look at all of them to determine which is the best situation for the former five-star point guard to choose from. It’s an important decision, one that’ll have a major impact on how his basketball career plays out.
