Quinerly is coming off a senior year with the Crimson Tide in which he posted 8.7 points, 3.6 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game, mostly coming off the bench for a team that went 31-6 and earned the top overall seed in the NCAA men's tournament. Alabama was eliminated in the Sweet 16 by No. 5 seed San Diego State.
Quinerly spent four years, with one redshirt year, in Tuscaloosa, after a freshman season at Villanova.
His addition gives Memphis a veteran presence in the backcourt, who started mostly as a junior before tearing his ACL in March 2022. He'll be part of a roster overhaul for the Tigers, who have landed eight transfers this offseason, per the Commercial Appeal.
