Prince Ali (Committed to UCLA)

[3uconn]

@AdamZagoria: Former UConn commit Prince Ali is committing to UCLA, source tells @SNYtv

Lol. UConn > UCLA. Ollie > Alford.

 

[David 76]

Much closer to home.

It's a perfect fit and the kid did not even visit. Bizarre choice

 

[RoderickSpode]

This would hurt less if they hadn't stolen DHam from us as well

 

[Dynasty]

Unlike some, I won't badmouth his choice if this indeed is his ultimate choice but this contradicts everything he said about being close to NY and using his visits because he committed to UConn too early without taking any other visits. Especially since he just committed to UCLA without taking a visit there. But whatever, good luck to him.

 

[tcf15]

Heard a while back UCLA might have had something to do with his decommitment.

 

[B1GEast]

good for him, at least he didn't commit to lvill

 

[Husky1964]

Good one Spode!!!!!!!

 

[Rdm203]

Can't blame him. Uconn's backcourt was crowded and I am sure he heard the rumors of Adams. Kid wanted more guaranteed playing time. Anyways, I hope this is the last thread I see about Ali. He has more threads than someone like Nolan who is actually on the team.

 

[Fishy]

I hope he gets rickets and a nasty sunburn.

 

[husky99]

Best of luck except when playing uconn

I heard that along with a new floor at Pauley, they have decided to install brand new escalators. Real cozy ones that'll take you to 2nd in the Pac 12 and a second or third round exit.

At least he won't be competing for PT lol

 

[BearJWS]

Prince Ali in Hollywood, sounds like a movie to me!

 

[ConnHuskBask]

This is just bizarre. Not everyone is going to come to UConn, but to say you wanted to be closer to home and then commit to the damn near the furthest school away from NYC without ever visiting is strange.

Who knows.

What's important is..... NEXT!

This is an All-Conference post

California, beaches, great education, babes, history, and they put people in the league. Who could blame him?

Yes, but, think of how many threads he'd have if his name was "Prince Nolan."

NBA career, Championships, History, Exposure, Great coaching, Great conditioning, New York City exposure

Hmmm let me think. Steve Alford or Kevin Ollie?

 

[huskiesnyc]

I'm really glad we have a kid like Jalen Adams coming into our program that isn't scared to compete. Good luck to Ali at UCLA he isn't a good fit for us either.

The Prince Turtled up on us…….I wish him well but really could care less. Old news, this will somehow turn out to be a good thing as someone better will come in and impact us more than he will UCLA.

I agree. I unfollowed him on twitter the day he decommited

 

[Stainmaster]

It hurts when guys decommit, but he's a friggin' 17-year-old kid. Give him a break. I'm not going to be rooting for him personally throughout the rest of his career, but let's establish this: he chose one of 350 other DI basketball programs that aren't the one we root for. That's it. Save the vitriol for the scumweasels out there that deserve it (Calamari).

"Vitriol" really? ….harsh, nasty?

You need to grow a pair if what I replied with was vitriol………save your vitriol for opposing fans.

You need to grow a pair if

Betty White: "Why do people always say "grow a pair" when they want you to toughen up? Testicles are super sensitive and one good shot and you're on your knees. Instead, they should say, "grow a vagina." Those things take a pounding."
