2025 Recruiting: Lara Somfai

x.com

It won’t let me just post the photo, but Kelis Fisher just shared a photo on Twitter of her with Geno Auriemma and Lara Somfai! Thought that was an interesting trio (like maybe a coach with his two future players?)! I’ll never forget when Kelis posted a picture with Sarah Strong and then shortly after Sarah committed.
 
Per 247Sports, Lara is set to visit 2/3 of her finalists (Duke & Stanford) on Official Visits this week, alongside her parents who’ll be visiting from Australia.

No word if she’ll be attending First Night (I’d love to see her there with Kelis). Says she plans on committing before the early signing period, so likely within the next month or so.

I would love to have Lara playing at UCONN. A talented and smiling 6'4"
international player with Summer 2024 FIBA experience on two different Australian
teams.... Plus, she has played with Kelis last year and will play with her this year.
Fingers are crossed!

I think Lara's visit to UConn (March?) was an official visit. If so, she'd only be able to visit for First Night on her own dime. If her visit to UConn was an unofficial visit, then she would be able to visit for First Night as an official visit,

If the March visit is her only visit to UConn, hopefully she has good memories.

I thought with the new rules, you can have as many officials as you want? Or is it one official per school?

Lara is on her way to Duke for her official visit now per her Instagram story. I think this is Duke's big weekend for men and womens basketball equivalent to our First Night.

I believe she has one more visit to Stanford after.
 
Lara appeared to have a good time with the Crazies this weekend. I hope she comes back to Storrs.
 
Interesting: Lara visited us and followed all our players. Nobody on Duke but the coach and recent recruits (Toby and Ari) are followed by her. She’s also at Stanford right now.

Edit: She’s also unfollowed DUKEWBB account and Coach Kara no longer follows her. I think it’s us and Stanford now.

WOW! Don't forget, Lara, Geno will be passing Tara in total wins this season ( hopefully on
November 20th! ). Go UCONN! GO LARA!
 
I know Lara already had an official visit with us last year during March Madness, but I'm wondering if she will make another trip to Storrs next weekend for First night.

I think someone mentioned awhile back her father was a Stanford fan, but Coach V. is no longer there. I know she's at Stanford visiting right now, but I just don't see it happening. Stanford is an unknown right now.

I think she's ours, Husky fans.

In a previous post it was mentioned that Lara’s parents would be accompanying her on the visits to Duke and Stanford. The mid-week visit may be to accommodate her parent’s schedule during their visit from Australia.

Will they be accompanying her to UConn for first night? If not, that would have me slightly concerned. But overall I think UConn would have more appeal on the basketball end, but Stanford would may be a more desirable location. Ultimately I think she will go where she can maximize her potential (aka UConn)

Also, Stanford is a shorter flight from Australia, for visits home and the like.
 
The fact Lara is going to school in Tampa right now shows that distance really doesn't matter. She visited UConn first and follows pretty much the entire team.

I think the parents just want her to do her due diligence. Duke and Stanford are courtesy visits (in my opinion). :)
