Four years ago, Michael Ajayi was a rising senior on the Kentwood High School boy’s basketball team without a single scholarship offer from a Division-I program.
Ajayi led the league in points and was second in rebounds while shooting 47.0% from 3-point range. In just his fifth game playing Division-I hoops, Ajayi dropped 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds against UNLV, which boasted a top-100 defense, and shot 12-of-18 from the field in the process. Despite the 14-point defeat, it was clear Romar found a diamond in the rough.
Gonzaga has had its share of highly-touted board snatchers over the years, though already through a few weeks of practices, Ajayi’s ability to maximize his 7-foot wingspan on the glass has stood out above the rest to Few and the coaching staff. “He's also a guy that kind of gets to his own shots,” Few said of Ajayi. “And when you’re playing those tough, hard-nosed games where it's just hard to find buckets and guys just got to make plays and make shots, I think he's somebody that can do that.
