Aaliyah Chavez, the No. 1 girls high school basketball recruit in the nation, is headed to Oklahoma.
The 5-foot-11 point guard from Lubbock, Texas, announced her decision on "SportsCenter" this afternoon.
"They match how I want to play; I want to play fast," said Chavez of Oklahoma's up-tempo guard play.
She led the Monterey Lady Plainsmen to their first state championship since 1981 earlier this month. She finished her high school career with 4,796 points,1,279 rebounds and 771 assists. This season, Chavez was named a McDonald's All-American, Naismith Prep Player of the Year and Gatorade Player of the Year for a second time.
Chavez, who plans to make her commitment official when the signing period opens April 16, attended the Sooners' 81-58 victory over Florida Gulf Coast in the first round of the NCAA tournament in Norman, Oklahoma, on Saturday.
The Sooners finished the regular season fourth in the SEC and are headed to the Sweet 16 after beating Iowa 96-62 in the second round.
