In an exciting development for Texas Tech women’s basketball, the program has secured commitments from three talented sisters: Gianna, Milania, and Natalia Jordan.

Gianna “GiGi” Jordan | 5-7 PG | Southlake, Texas
Gianna, the standout of the trio, is recognized as a four-star recruit and is positioned as the 17th best point guard in the nation according to Rivals. Before her commitment to Texas Tech, she garnered attention from several prestigious programs, including Oregon, Louisville, and Arkansas.
Previously, Gianna showcased her skills at Faith Family Academy, and she, alongside her sisters, made a mark at Southlake Carroll in Texas. Her high school coach, Robyn McCourt, praised her abilities in an interview with a prominent sports outlet last year, stating, “Gianna has a high basketball IQ. She’s incredibly quick on defense and has a knack for slashing to the rim. Her game combines inside and outside shooting exceptionally well, and she plays at a high tempo.”
Milania Jordan | 5-10 CG | Southlake, Texas
Milania, the eldest sister, initially set her sights on the Class of 2025 but opted for a prep year to recover from a knee injury, reclassifying into 2026. She was named the District 4-6A MVP after averaging 18 points and four rebounds per game during the 2024 season at Southlake Carroll. Prior to her injury, Milania was a two-time All-State selection and was recognized as one of the top 20 players in Texas. She made her return to the court in the spring of 2025.
Standing at 5-10, Milania is a versatile combo guard, equally adept at running the point or playing off-ball as a slasher. Her strength allows her to finish through contact during fast breaks, and her pace is unmatched, making her a formidable player on the court. Coach McCourt emphasized her transition game, saying, “She is deadly in transition. She spreads the floor incredibly well and finishes her layups in transition like nobody I’ve ever seen. Shots that seem impossible, she finds a way to make.”
Natalia Jordan | 5-7 G | Southlake, Texas
Although Natalia may not receive the same level of attention as her sisters, she is a fierce competitor who thrives under pressure. Her tenacity and winner’s mindset are qualities that fans are sure to appreciate. Despite her size, she does not shy away from playing inside, having started for the 6A Southlake Carroll team. Natalia earned first-team All-District honors as her team clinched an undefeated District Championship.
“Natalia takes care of all the nitty-gritty details,” Coach McCourt remarked. “She plays a forward-like role, even though she has the size of a guard.”
Her mother, Tierny Jordan, describes her as the leader among her sisters, both on and off the court. “I call her the leader of the bunch,” Tierny shared. “She is the boss lady—very organized and always ready ahead of everyone else. If there’s a task to be done, I can always rely on her.”
A Bright Future for Texas Tech
The addition of the Jordan sisters to Texas Tech women’s basketball is not just a win for the program but also an exciting prospect for fans. Their diverse skill sets and competitive spirits are sure to enhance the team’s performance in the upcoming seasons.
