2015 SG Prince Ali

[Devland]

If Prince Ali transferred here, how would Pete Gillen pronounce his name??? I can hear it now....

Pete: Kevin Ali says has a mustang in the garage he can't drive in Prince Ollie, during his transfer year...

This is a little off the topic but, I was driving through Rhode Island while PC was playing Villanova and found the PC radio broadcast on the radio. Whoever does the color during their broadcast literally sounds like Cliff Clavin from Cheers. I got a huge laugh listening to the game. Their play by play guy was horrible too.

I'd take him, but I don't really care if we get him.

 

[Matrim55]

If KO wants him, I trust his judgement.

That said, Ali transferred twice in his last two years of high school, and once already in college. Feels like a pretty big stability risk.

 

[mauconnfan]

Screw HIM

 

[Jaker]

Pass

Quite frankly, my remaking priorties:
- A big with muscle
- Someone who can hit the 3. We lose two of our better 3 point shooters in Gibbs and Calhoun - and we want to get even better from 3!

I think we need guards more than bigs. For Guards next year we have Jalen, Purvis, Gilbert and Cassell, bigs we have AB, Facey, Enoch, Vance as a stretch 4, Diarra and Durham if he doesn't redshirt, with Dham and Larrier being more wing type players.

Wish Ali well but pass.

 

[UConnErik]

If he's got ten toes in. bring him to Storrs.

 

[August_West]

Lol.

That said, I don't really have a problem myself. Purvis has been successful (despite some grumblings here), and I have high hopes for Larrier. Ali would be a nice addition, I think. We'll have space for him, and even if we have Diallo I think he'll have playing time.

I would be surprised if we're his top option, though.

There is a difference.

I don't hold a grudge against Purvis ( or any other recruit) who chooses another school over us.

I don't like when some commits and then tries to " better deal" us.

No thanks.

 

[pnow15]

Its is always about character and loyalty.

 

[Huskybass]

I am in the no thanks camp on this one. Sometimes baggage simply trumps talent.

AG hit over 50% from the arc in his senior season.
