Texas women's basketball lands commitment from Aaliyah Crump, No. 4 prospect in 2025 class – Austin American-Statesman
Since Vic Schaefer took over as the head coach of the Texas women’s basketball team ahead of the 2020-21 season, the Longhorns have signed high school prospects out of seven states: California, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Mississippi, South Dakota and, of course, Texas.
Minnesota can now be added to the Longhorns’ national recruiting map.
Coveted prospect Aaliyah Crump announced on Monday that she will play at Texas. A 6-foot-1 guard from Minnetonka, Minn., Crump is currently listed by ESPN HoopGurlz as the No. 4 recruit for the class of 2025.
Crump is the highest-rated player to commit to a Schaefer-coached team at Texas. Forward Aaliyah Moore and guard Rori Harmon were respectively ranked sixth and 10th in the class of 2021. Guard Jordan Lee was the No. 9 prospect in 2024.
As a junior, Crump was Minnesota’s MaxPreps player of the year. While leading Minnetonka High to a state championship, she averaged 24.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals and had a 56.3 shooting percentage.
Crump is the first player to commit to Texas’ 2025 class.
