YAKIMA, Wash. — With another monster season predicted for her senior campaign, Davis High School girls basketball star Cheyenne Hull — No. 69 in ESPN’s class of 2027 rankings — crossed off one item on her to-do list.
Flanked by her parents and older sister Trista — herself an NCAA Division I basketball standout — the winner of the last two MaxPreps Washington Player of the Year Awards and Class 4A state tournament MVPs committed to Oregon on Monday at the Monday Morning Quarterbacks Meeting at Suntides Golf Course.
Hull had kept her recruitment private before Monday’s announcement, but said she was offered by more than 20 schools, with former Pacific-12 Conference rivals Arizona and Stanford also among the final schools.
“A little bit of the pressure is lifted off and I don’t have to worry about it anymore and I can just play,” she said.
The Ducks advanced to the round of 32 in the NCAA tournament last March, losing to eventual Final Four qualifier and Fort Worth Region top seed Texas.
Oregon coach Kelly Graves, who was in attendance last month when Hull’s summer team the Northwest Blazers throttled the West Virginia Thunder in a national showdown broadcast on ESPN2, was key in landing the two-time 4A CBBN most valuable player.
“He just made it feel like family over there, and made it feel like home,” Hull said, explaining that she settled on the Ducks a week ago Sunday.
Hull has been a force since her freshman season when she helped the Pirates to their first state trophy — a third-place finish — in their second consecutive trip to the Tacoma Dome, after ending a 26-year drought.
As a sophomore, she led the tournament in scoring (23.0 points per game) as Davis battled through four games and beat Sumner, which had upset the Pirates in the regional round, for the program’s first state championship.
There was no slowing Davis last March, as the Pirates were undefeated against Washington opponents, winning all but one contest against state foes by at least 11 points and repeating as state champions.
Hull topped the tourney with 15.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per contest, while also scoring 17.7 points a game. She racked up 17 points and 11 rebounds in the title game.
She has topped the CBBN in scoring the last two seasons for the Pirates, who have won 38 conference games in a row, and four consecutive league and district championships.
This summer she capped her time with the Northwest Blazers by finishing an unbeaten spring and summer with a national championship.
