AMHERST, Mass. - Aisha Rodney of Grosse Pointe South High School in Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., has signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball at UMass, head coach Sharon Dawley announced on Monday. The 6-0 power forward inked her NLI during the November early signing period and joins Emily Mital, Ronni Grandison and Rashida Timbilla as the fourth member of UMass' Class of 2015.
Rodney enters her senior season as a three-time all-state and all-conference player under head coach Kevin Richards at Grosse Pointe South. She averaged 16.4 points per-game and was the team's top rebounder with 12 boards per-game last season, leading her squad to a third-straight conference championship, while earning her second team MVP honor. Rodney holds the school's scoring record and was tabbed Grosse Pointe South's rookie of the year as a freshman. The McDonald's All-American Nominee is ranked 52nd at her position by Hoopgurlz.
Rodney plays club basketball with the Michigan Crossovers, coached by Emez Oliver and Dena Head. She helped the Crossovers to the semifinals at Nike Nationals, the furthest any team from Michigan has ever advanced in the tournament.
Rodney is the daughter of Antje and Lorenzo Rodney.
