Five-star New Jersey guard Jahvon Quinerly will choose between Arizona and Villanova tonight, according to ESPN, and 24/7 Sports' Crystal Ball says UA will be the choice.
ESPN's Paul Biancardi said Quinerly will announce his choice during a showcase game on ESPNU that starts at 6 p.m.
Quinerly visited UA in June and told the Star last month he enjoyed the "whole atmosphere" in Tucson despite arriving during the hottest week of the year. He said then he intended to visit UCLA and Kansas, but those plans now appear to be off.

Quinerly is one of three point guards the Wildcats have still been chasing in the class of 2018, including Charlotte's Devon Dotson of Charlotte and Texas' Quentin Grimes. So if he chooses UA, that could affect the decisions of Dotson and Grimes, though Grimes is capable of playing multiple positions.
Dotson visited UA last week but did not commit and has not been available for comment since then.
UA already has one point guard committed to the recruiting class of 2018, Brandon Williams, but Quinerly has said that's not a problem for him because he can play either guard spot.
“The whole (UA) coaching staff, their pitch was, ‘We can fit you both in the backcourt,’” Quinerly said last month. “We both like to play off the ball. We can co-exist.”
Arizona already has Williams and forward Shareef O'Neal committed for the 2018 class.
