Thank s for the hint last week 3!
No problem! I tweeted I thought last week was going to be a good week and I was right! It just happened a couple days later than I thought it would.

This probably has more of an impact on Malachi Richardson who visited during first night I would think.

This kid just explodes to the rim.

I can't imagine what teams are going to do about Hamilton, Purvis, Ali, Cassell, Calhoun as a senior, and Samuel at the 1 thru 3. Still need another point guard for 2015.

Richardson could easily play the three at UConn, similar height to OC.

Great weekend for UConn

Started with hearing two big recruits had signed, won two games in a nail-biting, but fun way. Get a commit from a kid who looks great on film and is a top 50-75 kid. Let's keep it rolling.

You left out Sam Cassell. A college team needs 8 guys for the 3 perimeter spots, 5 for the PF/C spots, so we still have 2 guards/wing spots left to fill. Need at least one top PG. Prince Ali may grow another inch and could play the 3 with DHam and Calhoun. One PG and one best available player would complete the perimeter. Then we need a top big man to go with Lubin, Brimah, Nolan, Facey. Ideally, a top center because Nolan, Facey, and Lubin are all PFs.

Gotta love these guards above the 6'0 height mark. KO is making UConn a force in the size category again. Cant be more excited. Thanks for the post 3!

Richardson is a better fit at the 3 imo because his handle is poor, he reminds me of Dominic Cheek when Cheek was at that stage. If Purvis does more than a year we'll have quite a glut of high quality 2/3s tho, it would probably make a high recruit look elsewhere.

He is top 50-70, but if he can handle the ball and shoot from outside, he is wildly underrated right now. we'll see how his HS season goes.

espn also lists offers from Georgetown and UCLA. Based on both his ranking and offers he appears to be at least a top 10-15 shooting guard in his class. It also seems like he's a player that will benefit from the rule changes due to his explosiveness to the basket. Awesome pick up.

This is just excellent news! Thanks 3.

I will remember to mention Prince Ali in my short, drunken, Thanksgiving speech to my family at Thursday's dinner table. Nobody will know who Prince Ali is - but they will.
Record your speech so the Yard can share

Scout 78, Rivals 75, 247sports 55, ESPN 82 grade. Either way we got ourselves a nice player.
