Ameer Ali's Fresh Start at Cal

0:00On April 26th, Amir Ali is transferring from Mississippi State to Cal, following a path of high school stars who need a fresh start. The four-star recruit from the class of 2024 ranked as the 54th best prospect by ESPN. He drew offers from big programs like Kentucky, Kansas, and Arkansas before picking Arizona State. At Arizona State, Ali sought limited minutes early on but played more late in the season. He then moved to Mississippi State, where Kansas State slim. Now at Cal, coaches hope he breaks through like others before him. This set up reminds folks of Justin Pippin, a top recruit who barely played at Michigan. Pippin exploded at Cal, turning into a key producer before heading to Ohio State. Fans see parallels in untapped talent waiting for opportunity. Cal's betting on Ali's natural skills shining through with real playing time. His high school hype wasn't hype. He's got the tools if given the runway. Word is, this could reshape Cal's back or depth quick.
