Career highlights and awards

Jahvon Quinerly (born November 25, 1998) is an American college basketball player for the Villanova Wildcats. He attended Hudson Catholic Regional High School in Jersey City, New Jersey and was one of the top-ranked players in the nation as a senior.

High school career

On August 8, 2017, Quinerly committed to join the University of Arizona, but he reopened his recruitment in October after federal documents suggested that he had taken a $15,000 bribe from the team's assistant coach Emanuel Richardson, who had been arrested during the 2017–18 NCAA basketball corruption scandal.[1] On February 14, 2018, despite strong recruitment efforts from Oklahoma University, he committed to Villanova University.[2] However, questions remained over his eligibility for the 2018–19 season.[3]

In his final two seasons for Hudson Catholic Regional High School, Quinerly earned back-to-back Gatorade New Jersey Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors.[4] He was named to the West roster for the 2018 McDonald's All-American Boys Game, playing against high school teammate Louis King.[5] He finished with 3 points and 4 assists, shooting 1-of-7 from the field.[6]

Personal life

Quinerly is often affiliated with the basketball collective "Jelly Fam," centered around flashy finger roll layups, which he helped create with Minnesota basketball guard Isaiah Washington.[7]
