Continue ReadingInstitute of Notre Dame’s 2020 center/forward Ajae Petty has narrowed her scholarship list down to the final five that she will be visiting this fall. She hopes to make a decision in October so she can focus on having a productive senior season. I caught up to Ms. Petty on her way to her first of five official visits and she answered a few questions for Prep Girls Hoops.
PGH: When and how did you start playing ball?
Ajae: I started playing in 7th grade. My cousin played so when I went to MATHS Middle School I tried out for the team. The main reason I started was because of my height.
PGH: Which AAU/Club teams have you played for?
Ajae: I have only played for Power Move. Coach Scott got me involved with AAU.
PGH: Who are your favorite players?
Ajae: My favorite players are Giannis Antetounkmpo, Lebron James, Aja Wilson, and Gabby Williams.
PGH: What do you want to add to your game this season?
Ajae: I am going to expand my shooting range out to at least 15 feet and then hopefully the three point line.
PGH: Tell me about a funny basketball road trip story…
Ajae: We were playing in Atlanta, at the World Congress Center I think, and a pipe fell and made a real loud noise. The whole building emptied out with teams, players and coaches running everywhere. It wasn’t funny at the time but when we looked back at the film we were laughing.
PGH: What are you looking for in a college program?
Ajae: I am looking for a school with a competitive team that will push me and make me into the best player I can possibly be. I am looking for a family. Power Move has been my family so I am looking for a school that will give me the same support.
PGH: So let’s have it. Where are you doing your official visits?
Ajae: I’ll be visiting Louisiana State, Penn State, Illinois, Texas A&M and East Carolina. I hope to make my final decision in October.
