LUBBOCK, Texas (KFDA) - Aaliyah Chavez, senior guard for the Monterey Lady Plainsmen and #1 recruit in the Class of 2025, committed to play collegiate basketball for the University of Oklahoma on Tuesday.
With a top five consisting on Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, LSU and UCLA, the five-star prospect ultimately decided on Norman.
“I definitely think it’s the girls for sure,” Chavez said. “The people that I was with on the visit, we connected for sure. The vibe was definitely different, so I definitely think that’s what made me pick [Oklahoma].”
This past season, Chavez averaged 34.9 points per game (6th highest in the country), 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.7 steals, leading Monterey the state title in 5A D2.
To make things even sweeter, Chavez was named the Texas Gatorade Player of the Year for 2025.
As the last player in the Top 100 to commit, Chavez now joins Keziah Lofton (#50) and Brooklyn Stewart (#62) to join head coach Jennie Baranczyk and the Sooners for the 2025-26 campaign.
