Aaliyah Chavez, the No. 1-ranked WBB prospect, has yet to announce her commitment to a college program despite holding multiple offers. However, the five-star recruit has scheduled her commitment date for Tuesday, leaving fans eagerly awaiting her decision.
Amid this anticipation, a report has it that Aaliyah will be visiting the Oklahoma Sooners today for their first-round NCAA Tournament game. According to George Stoia, the 5-foot-11 Monterey star will be on the sidelines to watch the Sooners take on the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles.
Chavez is currently closely considering five schools, including Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, UCLA and South Carolina. According to On3 predictions, Texas leads the race with a commanding 90% chance of securing her commitment. Oklahoma, the second favorite, trails with only a 4.0% chance.
Aaliyah had also visited Texas earlier this month to attend one of their final regular-season games.
In short, while the other programs cannnot be ruled out completely, Texas and Oklahoma are currently considered the top favorites, especially because they are the closest in proximity to the five-star prospect.
