Amier Ali seemingly erupted onto the national recruiting scene out of nowhere during last weekend’s opening AAU session of the 2022 season. But the incredible performances he put on down in Orlando were no surprise to those close to him. Ali had been biding his time as a high school sophomore, playing behind a lineup that was filled to the brim with Power 5 prospects. After shining at the Nike EYBL’s first session, he’s quickly become one of the hottest recruits in the nation.
Ali, who was born in Columbus, OH, is a class of 2024 6-foot-8, 175-pound wing who recently finished up his sophomore season at Montverde Academy (FL), a famous powerhouse program that won its seventh GEICO Nationals earlier this month.
