Is 17 made three's in a row in a shooting competition any good?

[CJ Vogel]

Good lord those numbers are insane.

After seeing what Caitlin Clark did for the Iowa program, Texas HAS to land Chavez. 

[635Horns]

She is a certified star-in-waiting. NIL won’t be a problem for her in the least. 

[WestlakeLonghorn]

So she’s a female Steph Curry

[FAFO]

She’s probably too 100 in the boys rankings… she is DIFFERENT in person. The passes she’s able to make, is insane.

Heard awhile back LSU had the inside track…hope that was misinformation

[ElCafetero]

Are any of her stats records?

Scoring wise ... may not even be close to national records. She's 2,000 short of the all-time record, so would need a huge season. 46.1 per game is the all time scoring average leader.

Three-point makes in a season and all-time after the 2024-25 season, yes. The 187 makes in 2023-24 is a single season record for girls HS basketball nationally. The current all-time 3's made record is 588

Kim Mulkey has been front and center at Monterey High as much as rules allow.

Yes. LSU, Texas and Texas Tech IMO. 

[Travis Richard]

I will be more crushed if we don’t get her than any football or men’s basketball recruit we’ve ever missed out on. She slots in perfectly to come in as Rori graduates. Chavez and Booker would be such a hellacious duo for 2 years.

Am I wrong in not liking Mulkey? Hate is a strong word so I used “not liking”.

She is definitely the most disliked successful coach in college basketball right now.
