USC women’s basketball lands another No. 1 recruit in Saniyah Hall

First it was JuJu Watkins. Then it was Jazzy Davidson. Now another of the nation’s top women’s basketball recruits is on her way to USC.

Saniyah Hall, the nation’s No. 1 prospect in the 2026 class, committed to USC on ESPN on Friday, shortly after her official visit to campus. She’s the third No. 1 prospect in four years to commit to Lindsay Gottlieb and USC.

That’s a staggering feat given where the program was when Gottlieb took over in 2021. But since landing Watkins in November 2022, arguably no coach in women’s college basketball has been better at recruiting top talent like Gottlieb.
