Texas Tech was one of the first institutions to make an offer to Aaliyah Chavez. After officially visiting Texas, UCLA and Oklahoma, the youngster ticked Texas Tech off her list.

Chavez's mother took to her Instagram to confirm her daughter's commitment status. She shared a clip of Aaliyah attempting a shot from the stands. Aaliyah reshared the story on her Instagram handle to bust any rumors about her commitment status.

"#notcommited," Chavez's mother wrote.

Texas Tech's women's basketball coach, Krista Gerlich, wants to land the Monterey Plainsmen star on her roster. She talked about her intention to keep the local stars on August 1.

"We want to keep them here so that we can fill that arena. And let's be honest, those kids grew up watching Lady Raider basketball and wanted to be a Lady Raider, and we needed this program to be in a position that they could come in and still want to be part of a winning program," Gerlich said.

Without taking her name, the coach made sure to pitch the Lady Raiders to the top prospect from the 2025 class, Aaliyah Chavez.

The Lubbock-born point guard has gained interest from Oklahoma, UCLA, Texas, LSU and Texas Tech among others. According to On3, Oklahoma is currently leading the way with a 37.0% chance of securing Aaliyah Chavez. UCLA is right behind them with a 32.3% possibility of earning a commitment from Chavez.

Texas Tech is next in line but still far behind the frontrunners with a 9.8% chance. LSU and Texas have also kept themselves in contention, with an 8.2% chance. Before her Texas Tech visit on November 11, Chavez visited Oklahoma on October 18 and UCLA on October 31.

Chavez intends to be loyal to the team she signs up for and wants the coach to stay for all four years too. She also expects the coach to match her high energy. Which coach will guide the ace basketball star from the sidelines? Let us know your thoughts!
