6′2 Power Forward – Khristina Hunter: Berkeley High School Class of 2011, San Diego State Commit

1.Congratulations on picking San Diego State, what was your deciding factor in picking that school?
        It was close to home, I like the team and the coaches, weather is nice, I got along with the team and the campus  is beautiful. San Diego offers what I want to Major in which is sports medicine so that was a big factor.

2. What other schools did you have on the table?    
       University of Washington, Kansas, Rutgers & CAL

3. How do you plan on contributing to the Aztecs, what are strengths and weakness what do you think you need to work on?
        I plan on bringing my positive attitude, and lot of personality, and I will bring energy to the team. As for basketball I will bring my post game and hopefully get a chance to play out a little bit in the 2 or 3 position.
My strengths:  Definitely my inside game and being able to pull if my inside game is not working.
My weaknesses: I feel like I need to work on my guard and perimeter skills.

4. When did SD State first make contact with you?
        It was when I started playing with my AAU team about 2 years ago, CA BALLAZ.

5. What are your short term and long term goals?
       Short term: for HS – help Berkeley High make it to state, and keep my grades up. I want to have a chill senior year and get ready for college
       Long term: shaping my life, figuring out what I want to do, adjusting to college basketball, growing up and being  independent

6. You had a good summer with the CA BALLAZ, what did it feel like to play with some of Northern California’s elite players?
       I felt like I was playing with the best of the best. I had an opportunity that a lot of people don’t have, playing with higher level players just made me better. We won the Nike Chicago Tournament – 2 years in a row. I felt that’s when I played some of my best basketball. We have a close team- being friends on and off the court is what made our team stronger.

7. If you could pick one teammate to play with in college, who would it be?
     “If I could pick one teammate to play with in college, it would be…that’s a hard one, I wish I could play with ALL of my girls from CA Ballaz. But if I had it to narrow it down, it would probably be Chairese Culberson and Brittany Boyd”

8. What do you want the world to know about Khristina Hunter?
I want the world to know, that without my dad, I couldn’t have done all of this, he is my biggest, #1 fan.
