I can't wait to see her play on the next level," said another fan.

One fan is hopeful of witnessing Chavez rise to the ranks of basketball greats:

"Are you the next big thing in women's basketball? I'll be watching."

"Young Sniper," another claimed.

The comment section wasn't filled with fans excited by Aaliyah's basketball prowess. Few took a more lighthearted approach and added a touch of playfulness to the discussion.

"She cannot be guarded! I wonder what her signature shoe will be called," a fan said.

"The 1st move is tough and nasty! Not a lot of people can pull that off," one user chimed in.

Chavez will soon head to college for the next chapter of her career. So, where will she go after high school?

Six colleges vying for Aaliyah Chavez; where will she go?

According to 247Sports, the Monterey point guard is a target for at least six colleges. The list comprises Texas, LSU, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas Tech and UCLA.

On Sept. 28, Chavez, the highest-ranked recruit in 2025, visited the Texas Longhorns and attended the SEC home opener against Mississippi State.

Being a resident of Texas, UT might appeal to her. In any case, Chavez has the skills and the potential to be an elite basketball player.
