[I]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.”[/I]
