Noticed Madison Carlton was second in scoring behind Chavez. Will be interesting of Horns recruits little sister.
Aaliyah Crump out of Minnesota is another 2025 recruit who I've noticed our coaching staff gives a lot of attention to on social media. And, she's followed by the TexasWBB Instagram account (which is an exception)
On a rainy day, watched videos of Crump. She’s very offensively skilled. Shoots great, sees floor, passes well, nice handle, tall and long for a guard. She plays face up to basket. She is athletic but is slow defensively. Reminds me a lot of Jacq but more skilled. She would be a matchup nightmare at the 2 or perhaps 3 but couldn’t stay with small quick combo guards. A take all day long as Schaefer could ramp up her defensive intensity.
What the Dickens and Tom Walker? Would Chavez really go north or east or west? Why can’t we figure out a way to influence Chavez to commit to Horns? I’m not talking about NIL. Texas is her home state. She could be that big fish in a big pond at Texas. Her legacy in Texas could be forever sealed. Her influence and pride with and for Hispanics would be off the charts in Austin/San Antonio and everywhere in state. I doubt folks in UCONN or South Carolina or USC could even find El Paso on a map and don’t care about folks down here. Somebody do something. I don’t want to watch Chavez for four years play for Iowa. Anything.
Give her some time to make up her mind. Also, what does El Paso have to do with it? She's from Lubbock.
El Paso? Lubbock? Both kinda west Texas. See….even a Texan can get confused. Chavez needs to move to center of Texas….like Austin. Chavez has been on everyone’s radar for years. I’m sympathetic to giving her time to make up her mind. As long as it’s soon and to Texas.
So, it seems that everyone wants Chavez. Does Vic? It appears to me that her game, while extraordinary, does not really fit what Vic wants from his players. Does she play defense? Will she? He has brought in scorers in the past and molded them to his strategy, but I honestly don't see that happening with her. She is the best in the country at what she does (14-19, with 10 FT) and why would she go to a system that would change that? Curious to hear from others more knowledgeable that I.
Vic has 2 of assistants, his best recruiters, following her every move. Blair or Elena (and sometimes Vic) seem to be there every time she takes the court. If she ends up somewhere other than Texas, it won’t be for lack of effort. All 3 are in Virginia this weekend.
