In 2018, Quinerly was considered a top recruit and initially played for Villanova. However, he didn’t get much playing time during his freshman year and decided to transfer to Alabama.
After sitting out the 2019-20 season due to transfer rules, Quinerly became an important player for the Crimson Tide. He appeared in a total of 98 games, starting 40 of them, including 27 starts in the 2021-22 season.
Throughout his time at Alabama, Quinerly averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 assists, and 2.3 rebounds per game. He had a shooting percentage of 42.9% from the field, 34.7% from three-point range, and 74.1% from the free-throw line.
Quinerly’s primary goal with Memphis is to help the team secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. The Tigers are excited to have him on board and are looking forward to his contributions on the court.
