    Alabama assistant coach Bryan Hodgson will meet this weekend in New Jersey with Villanova transfer Jahvon Quinerly, sources confirmed.

    The news was first reported by Andrew Slater.

    Hodgson also met Friday night in New Jersey with Howard transfer and former St. Anthony’s star R.J. Cole, who averaged 21.4 points, 6.4 assists and 4.1 rebounds.

    UConn’s Dan Hurley and Kimani Young will also meet Saturday in New Jersey with Cole’s parents, and on Tuesday with Cole. If he landed at UConn, Cole would be the second former St. Anthony’s star to play for Bob Hurley Sr. and then Dan Hurley. Tarin Smith was the first. Cole announced his transfer after the coaching change at Howard.

    CHAMBLEE, Ga. — Alabama is targeting several top names as the school’s men’s basketball coach to replace Avery Johnson, with whom the school parted ways last week.

    Iowa State coach Steve Prohm, former Ole Miss and Cincinnati coach Andy Kennedy, former Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg, Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall and Detroit Mercy coach and former Alabama player Mike Davis are under consideration, sources said.

    Hoiberg and Cronin have also been linked to the UCLA opening.

    One dark horse candidate at Alabama is former Louisville, Kentucky and Providence coach Rick Pitino, now coaching in Greece.
