Olivia Vukosa at Uconn today

[Crossover]

I'm not 100% sure but I would think that recruits take pictures with Connecticut gear on the same way they do pretty much every other official visit so that when they make their announcement, they can have a picture in Connecticut gear. I just don't think that UConn publishes them until a recruit commits.

Do you have evidence for this, or are you working backwards from the fact that players frequently are depicted in their new team's uniform as soon as their commitment is announced. There is a thing called Photoshop, which has been around for a long time. And something more called A.I.

The only "evidence" I have is the rapid release of a photo upon commitment, but if you reread my post, you will note that that was supposition on my part. In any event, the practice existed well before AI and don't look particularly Photoshopped.

You seem to be a little bit argumentative on this. I'm not sure why you feel so personally invested in it.

Maybe its due to the recent lack of news but have been watching snippets of the Big O playing. No videos I would recommend but all indicate that she is a very smart player with significant confidence. With few true "5's" out there, a bigs success seems to come from those around her, in particular the point guard. UConn is one of the only teams that every year has one of the better point guards in the country, and most years has a true center. Big O can just look at many years of UConn's success and understand how she would easily fit the system.

Here is a video that might interest you. It shows the bronze medal match at the U20 European Championships B, which took place two months ago. Olivia played a fantastic game.

Olivia Vucosa reminds me of Stephanie Dolson

We should be so fortunate to have her end up like Big Mama Stef, who IMO was the greatest passing "big" in UConn history. That two-man game her and Stewie had going against ND in the 2014 final was epic!!!

2027 Haylen Ayers, just recently was on campus too. This could be huge pickups if UCONN can get both Vukosa and Ayers back to back years.

Yeah, my first thought was, wait this girl’s around 18 years old?

Me, too!!!

Want!!!

I'm sorry for the edge in my post. I was having a bad day, but that is no excuse.

Canada, thanks for posting this. Olivia was almost 18 when this tournament was played - impressive!

There used to be a $25 limit on food/swag, don’t know if it was changed

That amounts to like a window sticker. And maybe a nugget. Maybe. 🤣

I just can't get too invested. She's just another big tease like Boston until she signs on the dotted line.

I think its a no brainer now. Kelsi Andrew committed to SC. Texas has Cunningham and LSU has Kate Koval who transfered from ND.. Its just my guess.

$25 will get you the left sleeve of a sweatshirt these days.
