Coach inks a five-star transfer …
Yesterday, Nate Oats pulled off a stunner. He signed Jahvon Quinerly, a five-star Parade All-American guard who is transferring from Villanova. A lot of us had been told this was a strong possibility a month or so ago. A week ago, we knew it would happen.
It is difficult to put into words exactly how much progress that Oats has made since coming on board at Alabama. Jelly, as Quinerly is known by his friends, is one heck of a player. Don't be fooled by his limited play at 'Nova. This kid is going to make Alabama a better player. I have been told his time at Villanova was difficult. The Eastern team played a very structured offense that was centered on great shooters. Great shooters lead to a lot of points. Jelly, can shoot the rock. He is a perfect fit for Oat's four out and one in offense.
If the young player can get his NCAA waiver approved Alabama's offense is set to take off. I can visualize the Tide's offense. My hunch is Alabama will have two point guards on the floor, two forwards who can shoot it, and one inside player. Rumor has it that Alex Reese has an inside edge to be the inside player. Why? He can shoot from the outside. Honestly, I have no idea how this offense is going to look, but it's going to be wide open.
