How Jahvon Quinerly Can Impact Alabama Basketball This Season: Three-and-Out The veteran point guard brings a wealth of experience for the Crimson Tide as he comes back from an ACL injury.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Jahvon Quinerly - Could return by early December Coach Nate Oats said that Quinerly (knee) has returned to parts of practice and could return to game action by early December, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Quinerly is recovering from a torn ACL suffered during last season's NCAA Tournament. That season he averaged 13.8 points and 4.2 assists per contest. We should get further updates on Quinerly's recovery over the coming weeks. Thankfully Alabama has strong backcourt depth to be able to sustain the senior not being out of the floor for the start of the season.

Mark Sears - Cold shooting in scrimmage Sears recorded 10 points (2-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and four steals across 32 minutes in Sunday's closed scrimmage against TCU.

Impact Sears was the only starter in double figures besides Brandon Miller, who erupted for a game-high 33 points. The volume was there for the newcomer from Ohio, but Sears didn't put forth the most efficient day in a matchup that might prove a good litmus test of how he'll fare against high-major competition. That being said, Alabama was down two projected starters, and it's far better to shake off the rust now than in the opener. Better days are likely ahead for Sears, who put up 19.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists with the Bobcats in 2021-22.

Nimari Burnett - Sits out scrimmage Burnett (undisclosed) did not participate in Sunday's closed scrimmage against TCU, Jordan Harper of Rivals reports.

Impact Burnett is a Texas Tech transfer who is coming off a knee injury that cost him the entirety of the 2021-22 campaign, but he was thought to be fully recovered due to the fact he participated -- and played well -- in the team's overseas exhibition series this past August. It's possible that this was just a rest day, or that coach Nate Oats has seen what he needs to see from Burnett, who is projected to land a spot in the starting five. In any case, the Tide have an official exhibition matchup coming up Oct. 29 against Southern Illinois, and Burnett's presence there should be a good indication he's clear for the start of the year.

Charles Bediako - DNP in scrimmage Bediako (undisclosed) did not participate in a closed scrimmage Sunday against TCU, Jordan Harper of Rivals reports.

Impact No specific injury was reported, so it's entirely possible Alabama simply wanted to rest the sure-fire starter and get other post players some reps. The Tide have an Oct. 29 exhibition matchup against Southern Illinois on the schedule, which will be the center's next chance to return to action.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Miller - Drops 33 in closed scrimmage Miller had a game-high 33 points (12-22 FG, 4-10 3 Pt, 5-7 FT) to go along with nine rebounds across 33 minutes in a closed scrimmage against TCU on Sunday.

Impact While the Tide ended up losing by 30 points, it's not necessarily the result that matters here, as Alabama was without two projected starters in Charles Bediako and Nimari Burnett due to undisclosed reasons. What does matter is the fact that Miller -- a five-star freshman and consensus top-10 recruit -- appears to have the green light to shoot, and could see considerable volume on the season. He should be firmly on the radar in SEC, and potentially nationwide, fantasy drafts.
