    By DAVID DORSEY

    FORT MYERS, Fla. – Two members of the “Jelly Fam” had vastly different expressions on their faces as they played in front of a fleet of Division I college basketball coaches Sunday evening at the 44th Annual Culligan City of Palms Classic.

    The Patrick School, ranked No. 1 in New Jersey and No. 9 in USA Today’s Super 25, defeated Jersey City Hudson Catholic 65-53 in the quarterfinals. If played in the Garden State, it would have drawn about 5,000 fans and had a state championship-like atmosphere.

    Instead, it had an intense, national-caliber tournament quarterfinal atmosphere with about 2,500 fans in attendance in capacity 3,500 Suncoast Credit Union Arena at Florida SouthWestern State College.

    Jahvon Quinerly and Luther Muhammad, the two Class of 2018 guards from New Jersey power Hudson Catholic, were at Madison Square Garden on Monday when Seton Hall took down previously unbeaten South Carolina in a thriller.

    The very next day, fresh off their victory, Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard and associate head coach Shaheen Holloway were in the gym at Hudson Catholic scouting Quinerly, Muhammad and their classmate, small forward Louis King.

    “They’ve done a terrific job, they’ve been extremely visible,” Hudson Catholic coach Nick Mariniello said of the Seton Hall staff. “And they’re making guys in our program a priority.”

    Willard and Holloway will be at the City of Palms Classic in Florida this weekend for the Hudson Catholic guys, as well as IMG Academy (FL) point guard Trevon Duval, who is down to Duke, Kansas, Arizona, Baylor and Seton Hall.

    NEW YORK — Luther Muhammad had a big weekend for himself.

    The 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Hudson Catholic hit the game-winning jumper in the Nike IS8 semifinals and then went on to win the title alongside his high school teammate Jahvon Quinerly with the Northeast Basketball Club. Both players then represented New Jersey in the Sharette Dixon Classic Saturday night at the Gauchos Gym, where they lost to New York, 103-92.

    “It was great because that was my first time playing at IS8,” he said. “So my first time playing I get a championship in it, so that’s pretty good. I was happy about that.

    NEW YORK — Saturday was an especially long day for Jahvon Quinerly.

    The 6-foot-1 Class of 2018 point guard played in the Nike IS8 event early in the day in New York, ultimately winning the championship alongside Hudson Catholic teammate Luther Muhammad and their NorthEast basketball teammates.

    Quinerly then moved on to the Gauchos Gym where he scored 17 points as the New Jersey Upperclassmen lost to the New York Upperclassman, 103-92, in the Sharette Dixon Classic.

    “It was actually my first time playing IS8 ever, so it was a packed gym in a little gym so it was a good experience,” he told me.

    Arizona, Recruiting

    Arizona head coach Sean Miller called Jahvon Quinerly after the Wildcats practiced on Sunday and offered him a scholarship.

    The Wildcats are prioritizing Quinerly as the next point guard to come to Point Guard U.

    Miller and assitant Book Richardson previously visited the 6-foot-1 Quinerly in September at Hudson Catholic.

    “[Arizona] said they’re highly interested in me,” Quinerly said last month.” “They just asked me how I like the West Coast a little me and told me that they want me to be their next point guard. It made me want to work harder, and I’m just blessed.”
