Prince Ali to UConn!!!

[PAHusky]

This kid dunks like he's got beef with the rim. Great start to the class

 

[UConnRock]

Fantastic news!! I love his size and style of play. These strong bodied, quick first-step guys that take the ball to the hoop will thrive with the new hand checking rules. He has a couple of HS years to continue to bulk up and refine his game. He could be special.

Surely you must be mistaken. I was given the impression that Syracuse was NYC's college team.

This too.

"Ali, who is one of the top players in the nation for the Class of 2015, had more than a dozen offers from programs such as Syracuse and VCU, per Rivals.com"

I do too. A lot of people want to block 1990-present out of people's memories. Like it never happened. You know like Jim Boeheim who wants to continue rivalries with St. John's and Georgetown as if it is still 1985.

I guess this is what he means by "long time coming":

Could this be a sign the staff is weary of Hamilton's commitment?

I think it's a sign that our coaching staff is trying to recruit good players.

He did just sign his LOI correct?

Not really considering he is 2015, and UConn was still recruiting him ever since Hamilton committed.

Prince Ali + King Ollie = Welcome to Olliewood!!!!

Fabulous news. Make a statement this year KO and company and the future will be bright for a long time with UConn bb.

When did that happen during the game? I missed it, but I've seen that picture popping up all over the place.

“[Ollie] said you gotta come in and earn everything,” Ali said. “He said nothing’s going to be given to you. He doesn’t care if I’m a McDonald’s All-American. He doesn’t care if I’m a nobody coming in. He doesn’t care if I have a little bit of rep. I just gotta come in and earn. He was like you earn your minutes in practice. I earn my minutes, I earn my minutes If I don’t, then I’m benched.”

I like this kid already.

You have figure Ollie says that to every kid. Makes you wonder which kids didn't want to hear it and chose other schools. That's not a knock on Ali or Ollie, so don't take it the wrong way.
