Early Life and College Basketball Career

Kevin Ollie was born on January 27, 1972, in Freeport, Bahamas. His family moved to Mobile, Alabama, where he attended and played high school basketball under the guidance of Keith Symons at Williamson High. In his senior year, Ollie was apparently one of the top players in the nation, drawing attention from college programs with Division I caliber talent. It was during this time that he was also named a McDonald's All-American and was narrowly considered for invitations to the prestigious high school all-star game.

After an elite college basketball career at the University of Connecticut (1990-1995), Gary Williams hired him as a player at the University of Connecticut, earning numerous accolades and first-ever honors, including being the first player ever to win three NCAA titles while with Connecticut. In his first two seasons, the talented swing guard averaged 4.4 points per game but improved to 5.9 points per contest after his third year on campus and more than doubled that when going off the bench in his last year with the Huskies. Ollie finished his collegiate playing career sixth in school history for steals and shots taken, averaging 1.1 assists and 1.7 assists per contest while also leading the team from a supporting role behind Jim Calhoun and Ray Allen, alongside several other former NBA All-Stars, including Rudy Gay's older brother, Reggie and of course, Shekinna Stricklen.
