He was being asked questions on Twitter through another social network, and if you couldn't tell, it looks like UConn is atop his list. Now whether or not we stay there is another question, but I thought this was interesting.

Interview from March

“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.”​

I believe I saw that he wants to unofficially visit this fall in some interview. I still want Richardson a lot more at SG.

 

[his dudeness]

kid looks like an athletic freak. Behind Dorsey and Richardson in the rankings, but has major upside if he continues to grow

 

[superjohn]

He looks really good in the highlights, he has a cool name, the video features my favorite rapper of all-time and the kid loves UConn, what's not to like?

 

[superjohn]

Kid is athletic as hell.

 

[mauconnfan]

Wow........looks like the kid who just left Indiana to me........yikes! As superjohn said what's not to like here?

 

[UChusky916]

From the videos, the kid seems like a more explosive Dyson in the way that he gets to the rim and has a fearlessness about him

 

[aceboon]

tape looks good, you can't be wack with that name

 

[pj]

Looks like a UConn player.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Kevin Ollie was such a good hire. Top 60 kid openly saying were on top of his list. This kid looks great I would take him in two seconds. Thats a good call looks a ton like Oladipo.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Prince Ali, yes it is he...

Prince Ali- coolest name in UConn history?

Runner Ups: Shabazz Napier, Ajou Deng, Souleymane Wane

 

[UConn Esq]

We've already offered so the balls in his court now if we really are his "top" school

 

[jrazz12]

Prince Ali, yes it is he...

It took way too long to get an Aladdin reference in here. Well done

 

[UConn17]

I agree. This kid looks like Jerome Dyson 2.0 with similar size, athleticism, and ability to drive the basketball strong.

Good call. Come to think of it, we've been really lucky with names; Kemba Walker, Emeka Okafor, Hasheem Thabeet.... The list goes on and on.

Edited it for you.

Edited it for you.

Still can't believe they never played this song at Gampel when he was here.

If that was played at Lucas Oil, I think it would have given us the edge over MSU

 

[Jluc]

Finally a highlight video with good music. Kid looks good.

 

[Scot-e]

Sign him up! Looks like a winner and quite frankly I would rather have kids come here that may not be as highly ranked at the time we sign them and then work there way into the Top 40-it's the UCONN way.. Sometimes it nice to have kids starting to peak in their senior season of high school then kids that have been told they are going to the NBA since they were 12.

 

[bmayuc]

Nervous about the lack of jump shooting in that video, but if mr. KO is a believer so am i

That Final Four was at Ford Field, not Lucas Oil.
