High school career

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.[1] He was named to the West roster for the 2018 McDonald's All-American Boys Game, playing against high school teammate Louis King.[2] He finished with three points and four assists, shooting 1-of-7 from the field.[3]

Recruiting

On August 8, 2017, Quinerly committed to play college basketball for 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.[4] On February 14, 2018, despite strong recruitment efforts from Oklahoma, he committed to Villanova.[5][6]

    College career

    Villanova

    Entering Quinerly's freshman season, Villanova lost several key players to the NBA draft after winning the 2018 NCAA Tournament. Quinerly was the program's top recruit in the 2018 class and was expected to replace Jalen Brunson, the reigning national player of the year.[7][8] In his debut on November 6, 2018, Quinerly recorded three points and three assists, shooting 1-of-4 from the field, in 17 minutes versus Morgan State.[9] On December 12, after receiving under 10 minutes of playing time or not playing for six straight games, he posted to an Instagram story that Villanova was his "2nd choice for a reason."[10] Quinerly soon deleted the post before posting random pictures and soon deleting his account. The incident drew speculation that he was attempting to pretend that his account had been hacked.[7] On December 13, he apologized for his controversial post.[11] Through 25 games, Quinerly averaged 3.2 points in 9.1 minutes per game.[12] On April 3, 2019, he decided to transfer from Villanova.[13]

    Alabama

    On June 2, 2019, Quinerly committed to Alabama after also considering Pittsburgh.[14]
