Four-star opens things back up
From the looks of it, four-star guard Prince Ali seemed like a perfect fit for Kevin Ollie and Connecticut. While the fit may end up being perfect, Ali has decided to open things back up for now.

A native New Yorker who plays at Weston (Fla.) Sagemont, Ali tweeted out on Thursday that he would be re-opening his recruitment.
The de-commitment was confirmed to Rivals.com by Ali's older brother.
One of the most athletic drivers in the country, Ali is a relentless 6-foot-4 two guard who currently ranks No. 68 in the class of 2015. That ranking is sure to go up and Ali will quickly become a target of major programs across the country.
The danger of early commitments is that there is a chance a prospect will change his mind and decide to entertain other programs and go through recruiting process. That's the case with Ali who has simply decided that he needed to look around and be sure of his decision.
During the spring, Ali has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the rising senior class. It isn't as if Ali wasn't already highly regarded, he is just better than many realized and he has shown it all this spring. Anybody looking for a physical and athletic wing who can get buckets should be interested.
