A Good Look At Olivia Vukosa | The Boneyard

A Good Look At Olivia Vukosa

.-.
I have seen videos of some of Olivia's games and I assume she has gotten much better in the last two years and from what I saw, I predict she will very quickly be a starter on the team, Her rebounding is exceptional and her 3's are excellent. Her going to the basket is going to give the opposition fits.. Olivia is a solid player and will THRIVE playing for Uconn with Geno's and Chris's coaching. My mind is already visioning NO.14 N.C. GO OLIVIA!!!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!!!

You may be right, but let the competition begin

The Big O at UConn should be scary for other teams. Having an offensive minded big should increase Sarah's and the guard's opportunities via more give and goes, increased spacing, and opposition bigs being forced to come outside more to guard O. Love it.
 
Doesn't she say somewhere above that she is particularly interested in
watching the play of Serah? If so...my assumption is...with Serah gone
next year...that Olivia sees a place for her getting serious minutes off
the bench or possibly starting next November.

IMO...Olivia may not be the defender Serah is but she can rebound,
finish her moves around the hoop [better] and has much more range than does Serah.
I hope Jana continues her recent improvement when she returns this season and I kinda
expect by next November she will be a realistic contender for starting at center.
Good enough to beat out Olivia? Toss in Gandy...who knows what she will
develop by next year.

I hope our inside game next year is better and deeper than this year....that
realistic[?]...also remembering that Sarah can do inside things...outside things...
things all over...and will be better next year than this.

All that with no mention of Ice and Ayanna...get 100% healthy.

I believe that Olivia will play behind Jana in the rotation next season. Jana will take over the starting spot from Sereh Williams., with Blanca taking Azzi Fudd's spot as the other starter

I like the obvious additional strength in the post, but worry about the loss of a major outside shooter. Blanca has many talents and should start, but is yet unproven to be consistent from distance.

I am looking forward to seeing what develops. I wish her all the best.

Thank you for the link. There's two things I really like about O. One, there's no waiting around. Whether it's low block or mid paint, when she gets the ball she attacks and forces the defender to react to her. Once she learns to anticipate the doubles that will come in college and handle the decision making quickly she'll be a load. And two, she doesn't try to contort herself to avoid contact. She's very comfortable initiating it and going up into the arms instead of trying to go around. I think she may get to the foul line quite a bit. If GA somehow manages to get Okeke who is also physical and athletically elite, look out.

Vukosa and Okeke would be a nightmare for teams trying to go to the basket.
When Geno goes into a “big lineup”
P. G. KK
S. G. Blanca
S. F. Strong
P. F. Okeke
Center: Vukosa

Good luck trying to score on that lineup.
