This commitment comes after Baranczyk was able to land the No. 1 player in the country in the 2025 class in Aaliyah Chavez. Landing Chavez and reaching the Sweet 16 this past season has given the program a lot of offseason momentum. Chavez’s recruitment was especially a big win, beating out some of the biggest programs in the country in Texas, South Carolina and LSU.
“It gives you a lot of faith in — they’re people of their word,” Baranczyk said of Chavez’s recruitment process. “I’ve never had so many assumptions outside of what people think happened in a recruiting process than what actually did happen. At the end of the day, she picked our program because of the relationships she has with our coaches, our players. She really liked our team. And just a style of play that really fit. So that was kind of it.”
