Looks like we’ll be getting a Final 7 from Big O soon! She did not say exactly when though…

Geno and I are both going to weep if the Big "O" doesn't end up at UConn.........she's a program changer.....

Who do we think is making her top 7? Outside of UCONN which is obvious they will be

My prediction is: UConn, Texas, SC, UCLA, ND, UNC, Louisville

I have NO idea, but these are good choices. I might consider
a substitution of the UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY for one of
those 6 alternates. My wish is that the Croatian Connection
brings her to Storrs. My insights have been tarnished/ bruised since
Lara S. went off to that place in California.

She doesn't seem like the kind of kid that wants or needs the California "experience"........I have a feeling it will come down to UConn, Texas Notre Dame and possibly Louisville.......this is the one "local" recruit playing the post that Geno can't let get away.....

I feel like if we do not get her it will be a huge miss...especially after not getting Somfai.

I’m sure we’ll know which 7 schools are on these basketballs soon enough for Big O. But I noticed each one had a different color for “The G.O.A.T” logo (could just be to display the different color options they offer idk). But looks like the one on the far right is a darker blue (possibly for UConn?) There are also maybe 2 black ones, a purple one, a red one, and a white one that I can see.

The one on the far right actually looks more like the Kentucky vibrant blue rather than the UCONN Navy blue. But who knows.

We’ve gotta be on her final 7. She’s come to a few games (mainly to watch Nika, but one I believe was a visit?) and she seems to like “GOATS” (who better than the 11 timer himself?)

I am confused by the context of your comment related to UConn? Can she take a lesser program to elite status? Maybe. Will UConn fall into irrelevance if she does not choose us? Not hardly. Can she sustain a program or our program in their current standard-probably yes for us or any of the schools mentioned, but as we have seen with Jana, we won’t know until she gets here And how she handles the crucibl. Not sure what your point is on”program changer”.

Vukosa is a far more proven recruit and has been a dominant player for an extremely competitive high school program/schedule.......she's shown clear improvement every year in high school and has truly come into her own......I expect she will improve any program considerably but at UConn she's the kind of post player that Geno has been searching for since Aliyah Boston to take UConn to a national championship....

OLIVIA VUKOSA's FIBA record with the Croatian NATIONAL TEAM is
clear and convincing. She has multiple records and awards from her
time competing with them. Thus, I agree with Charliebball, THE BIG O
will be a significant additional to ANY WBB program... hopefully UCONN!
GO OLIVIA!.... COME TO STORRS!!
