Sitting a couple rows back of the baseline Friday was Connecticut women’s basketball coach and 11-time NCAA champion Geno Auriemma. He’s one of several to have already extended a Division I offer to Vukosa, looking to bring a talented big into his equation for the 2026-2027 season and beyond.


“They play inside and out, and I feel like with Geno, I can be comfortable going outside and inside, and it won’t be a problem for him,” Vukosa said. “Obviously I have to be able to get down low, but if needed, I can shoot a 3 for him too.”


Auriemma has been in Mackey’s ear throughout the process.


Even with college ball still a couple years away for the still-developing junior, Vukosa’s coach anticipates hearing from the Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer – this time for an uncommon reason.


“I’m sure I’ll get a call from coach Auriemma about, ‘what did you say before the game that put (the Royals) to sleep?’,” Mackey said. “It’ll be something of that nature.”

Great Quote from "THE BIG O": "I feel like with Geno, I can be comfortable".
