2025 Recruiting: Lara Somfai

[ec33]

WOW! Don't forget, Lara, Geno will be passing Tara in total wins this season ( hopefully on
November 20th! ). Go UCONN! GO LARA!

The current Stanford head coach has zero career wins, so Geno is well out in front.

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.

Taking an OV in the middle of the week is odd, no?

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.

Lara Somfai liking fellow aussie Jacob Furphy's (not committed yet) UConn post on Instagram.
Would be very cool to have an Australian in the women's and mens team.

5 hours each way shorter.

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).

Timed to avoid Hurricane Milton?

She might as well swing by CT. next week for 1st Night and hang out awhile. Bradenton/IMG will get blasted by Milton and I doubt there will be any classes to attend anytime soon. Could be a couple weeks or so with no power.

Yeah, just getting back into Tampa/St Pete might be problematic - Uconn's new recruiting 'Come to Storrs, we only have snow and ice to contend with!'

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.

I just checked her Instagram and she still follows Coach Kara, the Duke women’s basketball account and two of the Duke Assistants, two of their players and their Social Media person.

Pretty sure Kelis Fisher will be here. may as well come with her

Must’ve done it after my post then. She unfollowed them all a day ago.

Lawson no longer follows her. Typically they follow if they’re still interested. She’s also recently (just today) started following UCONNMBB and UCONNBSB. 2 new UCONN related accounts.

Trying to keep up with the upcoming Furphy commitment.

BUNDLE!!

I saw Lara Somfai posted an Instagram story implying she is in Florida right now and not First Night. I was thinking she had said she was going to be there. Not good news for UConn in my opinion. (Someone please correct me if she is actually at First Night lol)

Well, she might have had school.

We’re also the only team visit she’s posted anything from. And she follows 4 UCONN related accounts, including the baseball team and the Huskies account.

Agot Makeer is coming next week. Maybe Lara will come with her.

Doubtful since Somfai already took her official visit to UConn back in May. I believe her decision has been made.
