Hoops fans unimpressed by Aaliyah Chavez's future partnership with Oklahoma's Raegan Beers next season: "The top dogs and still SC, Texas and LSU"

No. 1 ranked WBB prospect Aaliyah Chavez announced her commitment to Oklahoma on Tuesday. Her decision has been met with different reactions, some in favour, while others not so much.

Oklahoma's 6-foot-4 center Raegan Beers was especially excited with Aaliyah's addition to the team. However, some fans do not find her potential partnership with the 5-foot-11 point guard impressive.

On Wednesday, SportsCenter Next shared an Instagram post highlighting the potential partnership between the two players. The post featured a clip of their highlights with the question:

"Who's going to stop this duo?"

As expected, it has sparked different fan reactions, with some being of the opinion that the pairing is not that big of a threat to lose sleep over.

In reaction, one unimpressed fan mentioned that teams like South Carolina, LSU and Texas are a bigger threat:

"Lmao man please she not moving the needle in the sec. The top dogs and still SC, Texas and LSU. oklahoma gonna need more than Aaliyah. She elite tho, don't get me wrong, but fr."

A number of fans also spoke in line with this sentiment, with some even naming teams they believe could shut down the Aaliyah-Reagan duo:

"The whole entire south carolina team," one fan said.

"Notre Dame, South Carolina, USC, UCLA, Uconn take your pick," another fan said.

"Whoever South Carolina puts up," another said.

"The SEC … Let's see Gamecooks, LSU, Texas, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Tennessee, vanderbilt, Alabama, just to name a few," said another.

"Shiii everyone in the SEC 😂😂😂." Another fan said.

Some fans even named some specific players whom they believe to be ahead in terms of quality:

“Juju, Hannah Hidalgo, SOUTH CAROLINA.” One fan said.

"Booker and Oldacre! Hook em!" Another fan said, referring to Texas Longhorns' Kyla Oldacre and Madison Booker.

"I want to see her against Hannah. Tha'll be a good PG match up."

Amidst the different reactions, one fan believes that Aaliyah and Reagan's partnership looks promising:

"I know people wanted her to go to Texas, but… Bears X Chavez looks promising."
