Arizona basketball recruiting: 5-star point guard Jahvon Quinerly has ‘great visit’ to Tucson

He’s also a big fan of Baja Café

Last weekend was the hottest weekend of the year in southern Arizona, but that didn’t prevent five-star point guard Jahvon Quinerly from taking an official visit to the University of Arizona — or from having a good time.

In his USA Today blog, Quinerly wrote he had “a great visit” and spent a lot of time hanging out with Rawle Alkins and Allonzo Trier.

“They welcomed me there as if I was family,” Quinerly said of Alkins and Trier. “They were mad cool and gave me the real about how it is there and what Coach Sean Miller wants to accomplish.”

After letting the players talk up the Arizona program, Miller did his part.

“Coach Miller and his staff gave me a great view of the system there and a great presentation,” Quinerly wrote.

Quinerly, the No. 5 point guard in the 2018 class, added that he was able to meet the entire coaching staff and had fun touring the campus.

But the highlight of the trip for him?

The food.

Of course we ate really well on the visit, but the best thing we had was Baja Café, they probably had the best pancakes I’ve ever had. I had a snickerdoodle with cinnamon sugar and frosting on the pancake.

Oh man that was sooooo good!

They took us to where to (sic) players eat lunch every day and there’s so much to choose from. They have seven different types of fish, strip steak, filet mignon, everything that you can imagine.

Quinerly doesn’t have any more visits lined up yet, though he said he’s working on it.

I’ve heard Miller is pushing hard to get a commitment from the five-star guard before any more visits occur.

Since Quinerly’s visit to Tucson, six Crystal Ball predictions project he’ll join the Arizona Wildcats.

His commitment would give the Wildcats three commits in their 2018 class and two five-star point guards — something Arizona has never had before.
