Aaliyah Chavez shared her criteria for final choice and the importance of representation

Aaliyah Chavez has already made her visits to her top six schools and is expected to share her choice in the coming months. When asked about the criteria for choosing her final destination by On3, Chavez said:

"I don’t want a coach that’s low energy, and I need to make sure that they’re going to be there the whole time. I don’t want a coach that’s just going to be there for two years… I want them to be there all four years."

Chavez's incredible skills on the court have drawn comparisons with many women's basketball players, with The Washington Post calling her the next Caitlin Clark. However, the guard is not interested in comparisons.

“I don’t like being compared to anybody,” she said. “I don’t want to be the next anybody. I want to be the first Aaliyah Chavez.”

Chavez is also one of the few players of Hispanic origin in Texas and understands the importance of her role within the community.

“You don’t see a lot of people that look like me out here,” Chavez said. “I’m just trying to do it for the Mexican community and for any kids who may not think they can do this.”
