Purdue and Xavier have topped Donnie Hale‘s list of potential college choices for a long while.

But now the New Albany senior has a new school showing interest — Oklahoma State.

Hale traveled last weekend to the Cowboys’ Stillwater, Okla., campus for an unofficial visit.

“They showed me the facility and it’s amazing,” Hale said. “I just felt really comfortable with the way coach (Travis) Ford was talking. He seemed really interested, and I felt comfortable around their coaches and players. The Big 12 Conference is definitely big-time basketball.”

The 6-foot-8 forward also will visit Xavier’s “elite camp” on Sunday, where he expects to speak with new Musketeer coach Chris Mack. And Purdue, which has tendered Hale a scholarship offer, will host the entire New Albany squad in Mackey Arena at a team camp later this month.

“I really don’t have a favorite,” he added. “It’s pretty much those three right now.”

When AAU resumes in July, Hale will travel with his Spiece Indy Heat team to events in Louisville, Fort Wayne and Kansas City, among others, he said.
