[sdhusky]

What?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is good Mojo.

The weekend of UCONN continues....

 

[B1GEast]

This is a sign of a good staff. Reloading for another deep run

 

[uconnforlife]

10% chance he ends up at UConn

I can't believe he hasn't even signed yet!

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

I wish I could grow more toes so I could be more than ten in.

Ollie is killin' it. Welcome aboard, Mr. Ali.

 

[HailUConn]

It makes my day!

 

[Jaybo]

I LIKE HIM!!

"as I'm doing the dance Giffey did befor the IU game"

"Connecticut recruited me very hard and I have a great personal relationship with coach Kevin Ollie. I like how he lets his guards play and I think it is just a perfect fit for me. Coach Ollie didn't compare me to any players; he said he would help me create my own path and he thinks I can be a pro," Ali said.

^^^From that same article:

Who he reminds us of: Ali has some Dwyane Wade-like slashing and above-the-rim finishing ability. He also has a little of Doron Lamb’s scoring traits and flashes of Victor Oladipo defensively with his ability to pressure the ball.

Hell essentially be replacing purvis, this guy ollie can recruit his butt off. If we get that NY big govan ill go ape , New York will officially become husky territory

I won't believe it until his mother is posting on the boneyard.

This probably hurts us with Donovan Mitchell and Jalen Adams, but Prince is better than them!!!
I wouldn't be surprised to see him rise in the rankings this year

Jalen Adams is a PG. He's possibly the top PG target right now.

No doubt Prince will rise in the rankings.

Adams seems to be the purer PG of the 2, I think its still doable with him.

 

[Vuce]

I just saw a note on twitter from Evan Daniels (I think) that said Uconn is all over Jalen Adams

 

[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":

Adam Zagoria ‏@AdamZagoria11s
Just got off the Phone with UConn commit Prince Ali. Says he decided about a month ago but waited until he was on campus Saturdayto announce

 

[traitor71]

Ali bomaye! Ollie bomaye!

 

[beakumhawks]

Congrats on the pickup. How many more spots do you guys have available?

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.

Good god...

Sometimes I hate this board.

He did just sign his LOI correct?

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