Sorry, I don't have a scrip for this one ... trying to cut down.

I'm not thrilled that the "Big O" is even considering all of these other schools, however, since good things come to those who wait, I hope that Storrs CT is her last stop.......

Great passer out of the high post? She sounds perfect for us. Said differently, she would thrive at Connecticut, which runs an offense that's built to utilize her skills.

With four of her seven finalists competing in the Southeastern Conference, Vukosa also highlighted the perks of possibly playing in the SEC. However, regardless of conference, the talented big is seeking top-level competition and a winning culture. “It’s very competitive,” Vukosa said. “Very. And I like being competitive. I like winning, and I know everyone in that conference likes to win, too. So I know, wherever I go, I’ll have a winning team.”

The European U20-Division B championship took place last week. The Big O took part, with Croatia finishing in 3rd place. Attached are the statistics for Olivia, who wears number 15, and if you scroll down the page you can click on: vs BUL, 10/08/2025 for the video of the game. She played her best game yesterday in the bronze medal match. Lena Bilic who is usually part of this team is absent, she will be lining up with UCLA next season. Petra Bozan, who wears number 4, will be part of the University of Nebraska team. In closing, I'd like to point out that Ireland also took part in this championship and finished in 7th place. Gandy was not part of this summer's team.

I still like the UCONN / Croatia connection. I
also just watched the replay of the U20B Fiba game of
Croatia beating Bulgaria 82 -78 for third place in
the tournament in Hungry ( team Hungry being the winner ). As noted
in earlier posts: Olivia 35 points and 22 rebounds (with
++ passing, blocks, and 13/13 from the charity stripe.)
I did not know that Olivia had fouled out at 4:59 of the
fourth quarter (a 'soft' foul??). The Croatians need to
make their free throws to seal the deal. This tournament
had many U20 Europeans who are or will be playing in
the USA e.g. U of Nebraska, Wyoming. A 6'3 player with
Croatia, Bozan with the Cornhuskers and two
6'4" players from Iceland and another Scandinavian country
. Fiba is a great source for evaluating future NCAA women's talent.
