Hoops fans joined the comments section to share their reactions and guesses on which program Chavez would choose:
"Texas has the money she wants," a fan wrote.
"We ain’t in the race she’s money hungry that’s one of the big things for her she’s likely going to Texas for the money they offering but I don’t see how her play style fits Texas," another fan posted.
"Texas or Texas Tech can pay more thank anyone else," one fan commented.
More fans joined the conversation:
"We don’t need her at Carolina. We have a log jam at guard for next year and she will have to come off the bench which doesn’t seem like she wanna do. When you are a great player you have to sacrifice to come to SC because you are playing with a team full of all Americans," a fan posted.
"Don’t let the double eagle get you. Horns will take care of you Aaliyah," another fan said.
"She going where all the Studs go. South Carolina," one fan wrote.
