We’ve read her bio, and we know her gaudy stats – 20 and 10 rebounds a night through the first three games of her college career at Old Dominion. But that’s about all we knew about Ajah Wayne, the sturdy 5-10 freshman guard/forward who has been going off for the revamped Lady Monarchs, who will put their 3-0 record on the line against Virginia (0-2) Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Constant Center.

Fortunately for us, her head coach, teammates and parents didn’t mind filling us in on the player they call Weezy.

“The one word that comes to mind is competitive.” – Old Dominion coach Nikki McCray

“Never takes any plays off. She’s always going to try to outwork you.” – junior guard Taylor Edwards

“Ever since she’s been a little kid, she’s had a high motor. She’s not a poor loser; she just hates to lose.” – Prentice Wayne, Ajah’s father

“She has this strand of DNA  where she just wants be the best, and she’s going to figure out how to be the best. And if she’s on the floor with the best, she’s going to prove to you that SHE’S the best. – McCray

“Just be ready for the body. She’s going to get you with that body. She’s a big guard and she knows how to use that to her advantage.” – Edwards

“The thing about Ajah is, she doesn’t have to have the ball to be successful, because she’ll go and get it. Rebounds (16 at Cincinnati Monday), steals (four in her college debut at Campbell)…. If you look at her production, it’s all hustle plays. She’s just got to fine-tune the offensive part. When she does, it’s going to be scary because you can’t take those hustle plays away from her. You just can’t, because she’s wired that way.” – McCray

Prentice Wayne: “People are going to think I’m just saying this because she’s my daughter. But to be honest with you, sir, there’s nothing she can’t do.”

“She can’t dance, though. Oh, she thinks she can dance, but she can’t.” – Aziah Hudson, ODU guard and Ajah’s roommate.

“Wait, she CAN dance. She used to dance around the house all the time. I guess when she gets around people she’ll just jump around and act like she can’t. But yeah, she can dance.” – Janice Tucker, Ajah’s mother

“She tries, I’ll give her that. She does try. We laugh about it all the time.” – Hudson

“She’s a really funny person, always with the jokes,” ODU guard Victoria Morris

“She gets that from me.” – Prentice Wayne

“We recruited her when we were at South Carolina. We were just very fortunate she was still available in the end. – McCray

“We actually didn’t get that many offers. She tore her ACL in the (state) championship game her sophomore year.” – Prentice Wayne

“She was getting a lot of (recruiting) letters. But after that injury, the letters stopped.” – Janice Tucker

“At the end it was pretty much down to just Memphis and ODU..” – Prentice Wayne

“Ajah and I really connected. It was an instant connection, a trust, a vibe. She felt it, her family felt it, and she came here.” – McCray

“A first I was kind of mad she didn’t get more offers. But God doesn’t make mistakes. She’s in the right place.” – Prentice Wayne

“We’re always getting on her about her accent.” – Edwards

“People up here say I have a country accent.” Ajah Wayne, a Birmingham, Ala. native

Accent? Around here everyone talks like that.” – Prentice Wayne

“On this team, it’s pretty bad. It’s between her and Maggie (Robinson, a junior forward from Mobile, Ala.), but (Ajah’s) the worst. Her and Amari (Young, a freshman forward from North Augusta, S.C.). – Morris

“We joke with each other, but we’re really close. We tell each other everything. I see her as someone I can go to with all kinds of stuff.” – Hudson

“She cares about everybody. When she wants to go out and do something, she doesn’t just do it on her own. She’s like, “Y’all want to come and do this?’ It’s never just by herself. She includes all of us.” – Edwards

“She’s always been a quiet leader.” – Prentice Wayne

“Quiet? Nooooooo….: – Hudson

“Outgoing. She’s going to let you know she’s here.” – Edwards

“It’s funny, in high school I always wanted her to be more vocal. But when I saw her at the game (vs. Norfolk State on Nov. 9 at the Constant Center), I couldn’t believe how vocal she was. I said, ‘How come you’re talking so much?’ And she goes, ‘Mom, I just love my team.” – Janice Tucker

“She wants to put this program back on the map. She’s got great pieces around her, and she’s just wired that way, so, for me it’s just getting her to be consistent and helping her grow, understanding the game a little bit better, I think right now she’s playing at a level, but she really hasn’t even scratched the surface yet.” – McCray

“To our opponents – she’s coming for you.” – Morris
