Ahmed Ali Joins Titan Men's Basketball Ranks

Eastern Florida men's basketball head coach Jeremy Shulman announced his second recruit for the 2016-2017 season on Friday.

Joining the Titans will be 5-foot, 11-inch, 165-pound point guard Ahmed Ali from BTB Prep in Toronto, Canada.

Ali averaged 22 points and seven assists, shooting 45 percent from the three-point line, for the prep team and 71.5 points – playing six games – for the high school team, leading all of North America.

"Ahmed scored an astonishing 103 points in a single game this past year in a high school game, hitting 22 three-pointers," Shulman said.

"I am so excited to welcome Ahmed to the Eastern Florida family. I believe he can be the best point guard in the nation during his time here. He is a tough competitor who can run a team and score. He has deep range, but also is a special passer. Ahmed will be special here at Eastern Florida."

Ali joins Shaq Carter, a 6-foot, 9-inch 240-pounder from Zion Lutheran High in Deerfield Beach, Florida, as a signee.

The Titans won their fourth consecutive FCSAA Southern Conference championship last season, becoming the first team to post a 15-0 record.

Shulman was named conference coach of the year for the fourth straight time.

The Titans qualified for the NJCAA Division I men's national tournament for the second straight time. They finished the season 27-5.
