LSU head coach Kim Mulkey and assistant coach Gary Redus made the trip to Lubbock, Texas on Wednesday to check in on the No. 1 prospect in America: Aaliyah Chavez.

Chavez, the top prospect in the 2025 cycle, has blossomed during her junior campaign with her Monterey squad taking home the victory on Wednesday in Round 1 of the playoffs.

When it comes to LSU, the Tigers are putting their foot on the gas in her recruitment after another in-person visit while watching her game this week.

Chavez released her Top 10 schools recently with LSU making the cut alongside Arizona, Ohio State, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Texas Tech, UCLA, and USC.

“I just want to thank all the coaches for their time invested into recruiting me on this journey,” Chavez wrote in the post. “After much consideration me and my family have come down to a list of my top 10 schools.”

Once her junior season wraps up, Chavez will likely take a visit to Baton Rouge to check in with Mulkey and Co. while soaking in the scenes of the reigning National Champions.

Chavez is averaging 38.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 3.4 steals per game as a junior as she looks to lead her Monterey squad to a state title. 

For her career, the No. 1 2025 prospect is averaging 31 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 5.5 assists

Now, LSU looks to wine and dine Chavez as they prepare to get her down South for a visit sooner rather than later.

After signing the No. 1 class in the 2023 cycle, Mulkey's program is looking to build sustained greatness in Baton Rouge with the top prep players in America on their radar.

Chavez, the top hooper on the prep scene, is the coveted target they're pursuing in next year's cycle alongside several Top 10 prospects. 

LSU Country will have the latest on the Chavez's visit schedule and other targets the Tigers are pursuing in the 2025 class.
