Aaliyah Chavez, No. 1 recruit, signs with Oklahoma

Aaliyah Chavez, the top-ranked basketball recruit in the nation and one of the most prolific scorers in high school girls' history, has officially signed with the University of Oklahoma, becoming the highest-rated signee in the program's history. Hailing from Monterey High School in Lubbock, Texas, Chavez led her team to a state championship, finished her high school career with 4,796 points, and swept major national player of the year awards. She chose Oklahoma over other powerhouse programs, joining a strong recruiting class alongside Keziah Lofton and Brooklyn Stewart. Chavez has garnered further attention by earning MVP honors at the Jordan Brand Classic and winning the 3-point contest at the McDonald's All-American events. Her arrival bolsters an Oklahoma roster that already features key returning scorers and multiple McDonald's All-Americans, raising expectations for the Sooners to surpass their recent Sweet Sixteen NCAA Tournament finish. With her scoring ability and accolades, Chavez is set to make a significant impact on women's college basketball.
