MBB Recruiting: 2015 4* G Prince Ali
Per Eric Bossi at Rivals, Michigan and UCLA are making a very strong move for recent UConn decommit Prince Ali, a hyper-athletic 6'4" slashing guard out of Florida in the 2015 class. He's good at dunking. Like, really good. Also super aggressive off the dribble, and he's got the athleticism to be an elite defender. Rivals says he's not a great shooter, and his stroke does look a bit mechanical from the video, but he's hitting 39.2% of his 3's so far during EYBL play, so take that for what it's worth.
Currently rated 45 to ESPN, 68 to Rivals, and 46 to Scout, with apparent consensus that he'll be moving up the rankings soon.
He has yet to visit, but if he does, expect him to receive an offer. Oladipo comparison seems to be apt.
Make way! for Prince Aliiii
Hey clear the way in the ol' bazaar
Hey you! Let us through-
it's a bright new star
Oh come be the first on your block to meet his eye!
Make way!
Here he comes!
Ring bells!
Bang the drums!
Ah! You're gonna love this guy!
I hear this guy is a beast.... 
Strong as ten regular men!
Definitely.
a packaged deal? Abu can walk on...can you imagine he and Dakich on the bench?!
What about his Geine and three wishes? Those could come in handy during a tourny run!
Diamond in the rough...
I want him and MAAR on the court at the same time for no reason other than word association.
I want him more than Coleman. PJ Dozier, too.
I hope he can ball like Prince
Riff raff, street rat. I don't buy that.
If only they'd look closer - would they see a poor boy?
No siree.
They'd find out, there's so much more, to him.
Wow! Do want.
This years football WR group may contain some of the best names in UM history.
Prince Aliiii
Fabulous he;
Ali Abaaaabaaa
He appears to be a good finisher around the rim! Looks bouncy.
Lew Alcindor too?
Some of the offers that he held in addition to UConn were Illinois, Georgia, LSU, Miami (YTM), Nebraska, Providence, Rhode Island, South Florida, Central Florida, VCU, Vanderbilt, Washington and West Virginia, so an interesting mix if nothing else according to 247Sports. As mentioned by the OP, we are on that list as well as UCLA.
Look how long his arms are!
We need to keep him away from Calipari...
looks little like caris lavert (plus 20 lbs or so), athletic gumby with high ceiling. the best part is, unlike some other coaches, beilein has proven without a doubt that he knows how to identify players for his system/program and then develop those guys (obviously with help from his staff) at higher rate than any other conference program. the dudes just been a beast so far at um, even more so now that he can finally recruit legit athletes after first few yrs. hes by no means bulletproof, but its really tough to question many of his moves re evaluation/recruiting/development/culture etc...proofs in the pudding, unlike another major coach at um whos unfortunately yet to earn similar praise
athletic gumby lol
Playing for a former NBA guard in his early 40s who just coached an 8-seed to the NCAA title seems like a good situation for a 6'4" guard.
They have a TON of guards and were recruiting more in the same class.
Quote from Sun-Sentinel article on his decommitment (May 30):
“It’s part of the process,” Ali said. “People may think it’s strange, but at the end of the day I have to do, what I have to do.
“I have gotten a couple phone calls from [other schools] but nothing too serious. I made this decision because I feel like I committed a little too early and I wanted to reopen things.”
Too bad he already left...
He even had his own Iago...
Oladipo Jr
Bossi also said he'll probably be a top 35 guy when the rankings are updated.
