Four-star guard Prince Ali commits to UCLA

Four-star recruit Prince Ali has announced his commitment to UCLA, giving the Bruins’ their second 2015 prospect.

The 6-foot-4, 190-pound shooting guard is ranked No. 27 nationally by Rivals.com, and No. 10 at his position by Scout.com. He had decommitted from defending national champion UConn in March.

Ali joins four-star point guard Aaron Holiday in UCLA’s recruiting class.

“A lot of things have been going on these past couple of weeks,” Ali told Rivals.com. “I just felt that UCLA was the best situation for me to go and excel as a college basketball player and the best situation for me to ultimately play in the pros which is everybody’s dream.”

A native New Yorker, Ali plays at The Sagemont School in Weston, Fla., where he was once teammates with UCLA freshman forward Gyorgy Goloman.
