In a stunning multi-sport recruiting twist, the No. 1 overall high school athlete in America has officially committed to the University of North Carolina to play basketball, turning down high-profile offers from Oklahoma’s elite softball program and Georgia’s well-established athletics. Widely regarded as a generational two-sport talent, the star athlete had narrowed her choices to three powerhouse programs before making her decision public.
The announcement comes as a major win for UNC, which has been rebuilding its basketball dynasty and looking for a transcendent player to lead the next era. The athlete, known for her explosive scoring ability, elite court vision, and leadership, brings a game-changing presence to Chapel Hill.
Many insiders expected a commitment to Oklahoma, where the Sooners’ softball dominance — including multiple national championships — seemed like a perfect fit. Georgia, with its academic appeal and multi-sport flexibility, was also strongly in contention.
Ultimately, the athlete cited a lifelong love for basketball and UNC’s historic legacy, coaching staff, and player development system as key reasons for her decision. The Tar Heels just landed a cornerstone for the future — and possibly the face of college basketball.
