Prince Ali Commits to UConn!

After heading to UConn’s game against Indiana on Friday at Madison Square Garden and unofficially visiting on Saturday Prince Ali had seen enough, he decided to become a UConn Husky! The 6’4″ 190lbs. shooting guard who attends The Sagemont School in Florida is Kevin Ollie’s first commitment in the class of 2015.

Ali first received an offer from UConn on February of this year. Ever since then Ollie has taken full charge of his recruitment and it seems as if he has put the full court press on him lately. Ever since getting the offer he has been very interested in UConn. He told Future150 this after receiving the offer, “I’m very interested in UConn. It’s close to where I am originally from, and the program produces a lot of professionals. I’m glad to see my work is paying off, though.” Ali committed to UConn over USF, Florida, Providence, UCLA, Florida State, Miami, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, and Kansas among others.

The class of 2015 is Ollie’s first full recruiting class. It’s the first class in which he and his staff will identify who they want to go after, if they haven’t done that already. He will have identified his targets and will be the lead in their recruitments. So far it looks as if it will be a promising class with Prince Ali being the first to be on board.
