Top 2026 recruit Olivia Jones commits to Vanderbilt

Top 2026 recruit Olivia Jones has committed to the Vanderbilt Commodores. She chose Vanderbilt over Miami, according to sources.

There were several factors that 5-11 guard Jones noted as important in a previous conversation with Rivals.

“Definitely how the coaches act in person and how the players speak about them,” she said. “Do they look like they have a good relationship? I need a home away from home, especially since I’m going to be there for hopefully four years. I’m looking to see what they’re like and just like the overall campus – am I going to see myself liking it outside of basketball? I’m looking for good academics and the things that can prepare me outside of basketball, too.” 

Vanderbilt is getting a phenomenal scoring threat in Jones, but also a great teammate.

“I would say I’m a good teammate first before anything,” Jones told Rivals. “I’m really good with picking my teammates up. I would say, I’m also a good attack driver. I get good open shots and I also look for my teammates as well.”
