PRATTVILLE, Alabama — Daniele Ewert didn’t want much from recruiters.
She wasn’t asking to be treated differently or expected special perks.
The Prattville basketball star simply wanted to be appreciated.
Ewert averaged 18 points and 13.6 rebounds during her senior year to lead the Lions to their longest Class 6A postseason run since 2000. She also became the school’s first female player to score 1,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds.
Yet, the college recruiters weren’t beating down the door to secure her John Hancock on the dotted line. Programs such as Faulkner, Grambling and the University of Maine each showed interested, but none were able to close the deal.
Then Alabama State stepped into the picture.
