Olivia Vukosa, the No. 3-ranked recruit in the Class of 2026, has committed to UConn over South Carolina, Texas, Ohio State and LSU. The 6-foot-4 forward from Christ the King High School in New York brings elite talent and versatility to Storrs. This is a massive win for head coach [URL='https://www.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/players/geno_auriemma/911371']Geno Auriemma[/URL], who has been pursuing Vukosa throughout the recruiting process. She becomes the first commitment in UConn's 2026 class, giving the Huskies a cornerstone piece to build around. Vukosa is the reigning New York Gatorade Player of the Year. As a junior, she averaged 19.2 points, 17.9 rebounds, 5.5 blocks and 3.8 assists per game. Those numbers showcase her ability to dominate in multiple areas. Her versatility separates her from traditional post players. At 6-foot-4, she has the size to control the paint but also possesses guard skills that allow her to handle the ball and shoot from range.
