2026 Recruiting: Olivia Vukosa

[southie]

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.

LOL.

Well, as someone who has lived in several different parts of Texas, it could take someone like 12-18 hours driving just to cross the state borders depending on where you live.

Has anyone reported when she will announce or a timeframe?

 

[Vowelguy]

I guess the predictions will be running rampant until she makes her decision public

This is the same site that said Cardoso was transferring to UConn.
Has it ever gotten anything right , other than attracting attention to itself?

 

[Tonyc]

For many reasons I like UConn signing the Big O. No official announcement when she will commit. It has been said its between UConn and Texas. She has been to UConn several times and is friends with Nika Muhl. She plays for CTK and the connection between CTK and UConn is very very strong. So we wait and see.

I'm guessing the visit happens. Seems like both parents and all siblings have accompanied her to Ohio State, Texas, and LSU where they had to pay airfare out of their own pocket; so, most likely they've already paid for airfare to South Carolina for all family members, so might as well make the trip and get their money's worth.

Why not take the visits? You get to experience a different program, see new places, meet other playersand are generally treated very well.

 

[CL82]

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.

Is Olivia following any Texas staff or players on social media?

Is Olivia following any Texas staff or players on social media?

As far as I can tell from Instagram, she follows all but 4 Texas players and several from the Texas staff. She follows all UConn players except for Gandy, Ice, Caroline, and Ayanna. And then she follows Geno and Morgan Valley from the coaching staff.
