Saniyah Hall Commits to USC WCBB, 5-Star is No. 1-Ranked Prospect in Class of 2026

Saniyah Hall, who ranks first overall on the 247Sports composite list of the top high school class of 2026 women's basketball prospects, has committed to play college ball at USC.

Hall made the announcement on Friday's edition of ESPN's NBA Today. The 6'2" guard played high school ball at Montverde Academy in Florida last year but will spend her senior season in her home state of Ohio playing for Spire Academy in Geneva, Ohio.

This is obviously a massive win for USC, who could have an absolutely loaded team for the 2026-27 season, especially with the impending return of JuJu Watkins from a torn ACL suffered last March.

Hall, a 6'2" wing, is another superstar in the making. She's already found great success on the international level, winning gold medals for Team USA at the 2025 FIBA U19 World Cup and the 2024 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup. During the U19 World Cup, Hall averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 2.0 steals over 23 minutes per game in seven contests (all wins).

Hall previously made official visits to UNC and UCLA, per Talia Goodman of On3/Rivals. She just made the trek to Los Angeles to visit USC, and that's where she'll wind up after one more year of high school.

USC also continues to land No. 1 overall prospects after previously adding Watkins and also Jazzy Davidson, who will begin playing college ball this fall.
