4-star Aiden Sherrell breaks down official visits; updates recruitment

Aiden Sherrell is the No. 44 player in the 2024 On3 Consensus. Through nine games in the Overtime League, the 6-foot-10 center is averaging 17.7 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks.

“I’ve expanded my game this season,” Sherrell told On3. “I’m bringing it up the floor more. Defensively, I’m guarding multiple positions. I’m doing better and still working on becoming a leader. I watch a lot of Anthony Davis. With his size and versatility, he impacts the game on both ends of the floor.”

The four-star continues to get better, and college programs are already prioritizing him. On3 caught up with Aiden Sherrell after a recent live viewing to talk about official visits and get an in-depth update on their recruitment.

“I’ve taken three official visits so far,” Sherrell said. “I’ve gone to Alabama, UNLV, and Michigan State.”

Sherrell talks visits

Alabama: “They produce guys who are long and lengthy, guys like me who are very versatile. The relationship with the coaching staff is what brought me out there. I have built a great relationship with all those guys. When I got out there, I got to see the environment, the intensity of their practices is high, and that is why they are so productive right now.”

Michigan State: “It’s like a family up there for sure. They brought me in, and it was all love up there. When we went to the practices, they were very intense; he pushed his guys. I got a great relationship with the coaches there too.

“They said I could come in and be productive on both sides of the floor. They want to play me inside and out. Joey Hauser will be gone by the time I get there, so I could come in and help them out.”

UNLV: “They have a great program; they’re a winning program. I’ve developed a great relationship with them; we talk a lot. I love the environment out there, of the school and the area.”

“We’re not talking visits,” Sherrell said. “But I hear a lot from Michigan and Oklahoma.”

Oklahoma: “Coach (Porter) Moser produces and develops guys like me. They want me to come in and be a lengthy threat, a versatile guy that can play inside and out. I could definitely see myself fitting in with how they play.”

Michigan: “I have a great relationship with Coach Juwan (Howard); we talk a lot. I could see myself thriving in that offense.

“We have heard from Texas and Kentucky, too,” Sherrell said. “They haven’t offered yet.”

In his words

“My decision will really come down to the school I feel can develop me the most,” Sherrell said. “The program that prepares me and builds me up to get to and be ready for the next level.

“I’m still wide open right now and don’t really have a timeframe or date yet. I would like to start narrowing down my list before the Summer.”
