Aijha Blackwell trims list down to 6

In a previous story we shared the news that Whitfield ( St. Louis, Mo) standout Aijha Blackwell had trimmed her college list to 12 schools. She has now whittled that down to 6 final schools as she enters her senior year. Blackwell is a 6'0 guard/wing that averaged 24.2 points per game, 8.3 rebounds per game, 2.8 assists per game and 2.0 steals per game during her junior season. She helped lead Whitfield to a 22-7 record and a trip to the semi final round of the Missouri 3A playoffs. She is currently ranked #22 in the ESPNW 2019 rankings. That ranking may change in the next version as she is coming off a summer campaign in which she averaged 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game for the USA National 18u team as they won the Gold medal in the FIBA Americas U18 championships. She received excellent reviews for her efforts and will hopefully parlay that into a top 20 national ranking. She is known as a very athletic guard that can create her own shot. She is excellent in an up tempo game and really attacks in transition. She has been high on the list of many college coaches since she first burst on to the scene as a freshman at Whitfield High School in St Louis. Aijha is also an outstanding passer and rebounder that can affect the game in many ways. From the list of the top 12 the following schools have been cut: Kansas State, Rutgers, Notre Dame, Texas and Kentucky. That leaves a final 6 that includes the following schools:   Missouri-- Columbia, Mo SEC conference Mississippi St-- Starkville, Ms SEC conference St Louis University--- St Louis, Mo Atlantic 10 conference Ohio St---Columbus, Oh Big 10 conference Kansas-- Lawrence, Ks Big 12 conference Louisville---Louisville, Ky ACC conference This is a very strong list spanning most of the top conferences in the country. It will be a fun ride watching Aijha finish off her high school career and eventually making one of these coaching staffs very happy!
