From Kris Johnson:
ori Close & UCLA Women's Basketball hosted 5-star Monterey High School (Texas) phenom Aaliyah Chavez on an official visit to Westwood this past weekend, according to sources close to the program.
Chavez, ranked #2 among 2025 point guards/shooting guards by ESPN, is a prolific scorer with NBA range, a tough as nails defender and a high level personality that is built to lead. During her weekend stay, Chavez got a firsthand look at UCLA WBB's winning culture, facilities, and got to know coaching staff and several players.
Securing her commitment would be a significant coup for Close and UCLA WBB, as Chavez was rumored to be leaning towards attending school closer to home. We'll keep you posted about Chavez's recruitment and provide updates as more information becomes available.
