This is the epitome of modern day recruiting, no matter the sport.
Pete Nakos of On3 reported Friday that the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns have emerged as the two programs most likely to land top 2025 women’s basketball recruit Aaliyah Chavez. Chavez has already announced her top five choices of OU, Texas, South Carolina, Texas Tech and UCLA.
Chavez is scheduled to announce her commitment at 2 p.m. March 25, which she confirmed on Friday.
According to Nakos, a bidding war has brewed between OU and Texas. Nakos reported that Chavez is “commanding a NIL package valued at $1.5M annually.” However, if NIL is a major factor, don’t count out hometown Texas Tech yet. The Red Raiders have been throwing big numbers at recruits recently, including in women’s sports with softball pitcher NiJaree Canady.
