Whatever happened to the 6'6" foreign player UConn showed an interest in?

Yeah, what happened to her?

 

[MooseJaw]

I guess you forgot that she may have a name. Or did you forget what her name is?

She lives in Portugal and UConn is/was recruiting her. No one outside the UConn coaching staff knows anything about the relationship and UConn isn't talking because they can't under NCAA recruiting rules.

Also wondering if anybody knows more about Madina Okot the 6-5 C from Kenya that was invited to play for the world team against US HS stars. She showed up on one of Troy's rosters but there seemed to be some confusion over her status. In some ways it sounded a little like Ines, but without the time urgency.

What I mean by that is a player who might get offered by a lessor program, may have gone thru the visa process and other hurdles to be cleared to attend there, but could then realize that other better programs might be interested in someone who could be eligible for the 23/24 season.

Anyway see was being discussed a little bit back when she was invited to that all-star game, but I haven't heard anything lately.

I did not forget she has a name. I could not remember it.

I’m right with ya. It’s old timers disease.

I'm a Philadelphia guy by origins. In CT for the past 50 + years, but was at a social event recently with some extended family Ladies who played high level HS ball in Phila. and they were raving about 8th grader Jessie Moses. This is the first time, I've seen her name showing up in print

Jessie has an offer from Harvard!

UConn started following her last summer.

Does anyone else believe that Olivia reminds them of Stephanie Dolson?
I also enjoyed the play in this video where Olivia appears to seek out the
contact before scoring with the contact that she encouraged....that is
called an old time three point play ....." and ONE!!!"

Yup. "Big"-time.

Does anybody know if Oliivia Vukosa and Kate Koval are scheduled to face each other this Summer?

I'm particularly interested to see Vukosa' defense against another HQ big. Though she's a couple of years younger and has several years to progress, I would love to see her defense as it is now. Her moves on offense are simply outstanding for a young big!

The relatively small school she goes to has more of an academic brand than a basketball brand, so her primary exposure at this point will be thru AUU summer tournaments

Probably not. Koval plays in the EYBL 17 age group and Vukosa is only 14-15 yo and plays in the EYBL 16 age group.

Check out her handles, starting around 0:25. Behind the back moves and then a spin move in traffic. The Big O is mobile!

Geno will be commuting to NY for the next two years.

I also like how Olivia acknowledges the assists/passes from her teammates with
hand touches and other messages. Her team appears to be a very cooperative
bunch of players. NICE!
