Aaliyah Chavez proves Oklahoma is a huge winner with latest honor for No. 1 recruit | Sporting News

Aaliyah Chavez shocked much of the country when she chose to take her college basketball talents to Oklahoma. Chavez, the No. 1 recruit in the nation, spurned South Carolina and a number of other powerhouses to play for the Sooners.

Since that decision, she continues to excite OU fans about what's coming. Her latest honor came at the Jordan Brand Classic on Friday night, with Chavez earning MVP of the girls game. She put up 24 points, including five 3-pointers, to go with five assists.
