2026 Recruiting: Olivia Vukosa

Also I wouldn't be surprised at all if its true it between Uconn and Texas, however for this site to say Texas is a strong lean is guessing. Im sure nobody knows yet outside of Olivia's camp. Either way I'd pay attention to the Skim Milkey Twitter as they are always most accurate.

What about EJ's crystal ball prediction for UConn? Is he doing any more than just "guessing" ? 🤣

By this point, a WER "guess" in your favor is a curse.

You're probably right. Not familiar with EJ to know if he's just a fan like us or actually has inside sources. Don't recall him ever making many predictions in the past, let alone this new "crystal ball" type forecast.
 
She just posted some pics on Instagram from her visit to UConn. Im having trouble copying them to this site...maybe someone else more savvy can do it?

# 359 FROM "SOUTHIE" IS EVEN BETTER!!... SCROLL

In all seriousness, "EJ's" crystal ball is likely a guess based on the perceived momentum created by the OV more than any insider knowledge.
 
I like our chances of getting Vukosa. I also like the fact that UConn is the only school she made multiple Instagram posts for including pictures from her official visit. I’m just hoping there’s not a reason why South Carolina is seemingly the last visit…

I haven't heard a peep on the South Carolina side, so I highly doubt she is seriously considering us. Also, It would be odd to have two traditional posts in the same recruiting class but stranger things have happened. My assumption is that she is taking a look just because she can.

Im trying to take that as a positive as well, but Lara Somfai was liking UConn posts pretty much a couple days leading up to her decision.

Rings R Us- - -Remember all the chatter about Sarah Strong going to NoCar then choose UConn which was her first choice all the recruiting period!

I have no idea how OSU could even be in the mix. Maybe her father likes their football team or something so she took him for the visit.

Perhaps proximity. The three SEC schools aren't exactly within driving distance.

And, from an NIL perspective, I'm guessing OSU forked over quite a bit to land Jalon Cambridge a couple of years ago.

Maybe this is just a southwestern thing, and I share it with you, but ‘driving distance’ on the east coast doesn’t usually include drives above 2 hours. Sure, you wouldn’t ordinarily fly from NYC to Storrs, but that’s still a heckuva drive from Brooklyn, at least by NYC standards. Ohio is an even longer drive at over 8 hours. Of course, the drive to Texas would have to be measured in days, so by comparison even Ohio looks an easy distance.

As a native NYer, and having worked in the city but living in Westchester and Connecticut, a two-hour drive can be (sadly) a too -frequent occurrence simply due to traffic. Like when I visit my mom driving from Connecticut to Long Island. We might not like it but we tolerate it/are used to it. From Brooklyn it's under three hours.

With Olivia having younger sisters I'd give those kids the incentive to tolerate the drive by rewarding them with a trip to the Dairy Bar when they arrive on campus lol!

Yeah, proximity is probably a major factor for a close knit family. It's only 3.5 hrs by car from Queens, NY to Storrs.

Drive time From Queens
to Storrs, CT
to Columbus OH 13 hrs
to Columbia SC 13 hrs
to Baton Rouge, LA 20.5 hrs
to Austin, TX 26 hrs.

UConn is the only school among her interests that provides the opportunity for a one day, there and back family drive plus a game in one day. (or a Friday drive home for her and back on Sunday - though she probably has a bunch of FF miles)
