Washington WBB to host top 2027 recruit Kaleena Smith for official visit

The Washington Huskies women’s basketball team will welcome Kaleena Smith, the nation's top recruit for the 2027 class, for an official visit at the end of July. Smith, a 5-foot-6 point guard from Ontario Christian High School in California, has scheduled ten official visits, including schools like Baylor and UConn. Coach Tina Langley has made significant strides in recruiting, and securing Smith's commitment could significantly elevate the program's national standing. Smith, who recently excelled at the adidas 3SSB Circuit, is the first high school women's player to sign a deal with adidas, indicating potential sponsorship dynamics in her recruitment.
