Alabama Basketball: Why Jahvon Quinerly leaving is not a big problem

A late Transfer Portal exit by Jahvon Quinerly has surprised Alabama basketball fans. The immediate response to the news was concern Nate Oats suddenly does not have enough point guards on the 2023-24 roster.

It is believed Quinerly was likely to again be Alabama’s sixth man in the coming season. That was mostly the case last season when he averaged 21.2 minutes per game. Only three Crimson Tide players got more minutes last season, but Jahvon may be seeking a certain starting role.

Now that Nate Oats has three roster openings, Alabama fans can expect one to be filled by Grant Nelson and another by a good ball-handling guard.
