Notre Dame, Duke, and more - All the schools 4-star recruit Chamiah Francis is set to visit

Four-star recruit Chamiah Francis announced she'll conduct visits to six women's college basketball programs this fall.

The 6-3 center from Booker T. Washington High School in Pensacola, Florida, told 247 Sports' Dushawn London that she'll visit Notre Dame on Aug. 31, Alabama (Sept. 6), Duke (Sept. 19), Ole Miss (Sept. 27), Florida State (Oct. 10) and North Carolina (Oct. 25).

The visits will allow the player to check on the campus, practice facilities and other areas inside the school that could convince her to commit and sign up for the 2026-27 season.

Francis is currently the No. 25-ranked overall prospect in the class of 2026 and the third-best center in the batch behind 6-4 IMG Academy player Kelsi Andrews and 6-4 Christ the King standout Olivia Vukosa.

In his scouting report, 247 Sports' Brandon Clay was impressed with the center's size and athleticism. She's coming off a splendid 12-month run that began with the NCAA Basketball Academy in Memphis.

Francis is an excellent inside player who can make shots and grab rebounds from inside the paint. This has impressed college basketball scouts, who inserted her into talks about the top frontcourt prospects in the 2026 class.
