A wonderful award for the NO1 pick. A sign of wonderful things to come.The Huskies have a team of Sarah, Olivia, Jovana , Allie and Ashlynn that will be the envy of every other team out there and the nexus of more NC.s to come. GO HUSKIES!!!!!
I guess KK and Blanca are graduating too huh?

I guess
I guess K9 is graduating too? That's news to me..
This article also seems a little misleading.. Says she is "the first Uconn bound player to win NPOY since Paige" ???
I thought I recall Azzi winning that award too? As a high school sophomore I think. Maybe I am wrong.
Didn't Strong win it too?
DT dropping knowledge. Too cool.

Azzi yes but it was her sophomore year in 2019. Sarah did not win it her year. It was Joyce Edward’s
I wasn't clear enough in my posting. I meant 3 point shooters.that with the 5 I posted will lead the BB world in 3 pointers as they all are prolific 3 point shooters. I missed Blanca , she should be in the mix. Sorry about that. GO HUSKIES!!!!!!

Azzi won it as a sophomore. In fact she was one of 4 straight Huskies to win Gatorade POY: Megan, Christyn, Azzi & Paige.
Joyce Edwards instead of Sarah????? That does not add much (or even any) credibility to the Award and how its winner is chosen. It was pretty clear that entire recruiting year that SS was far and away the class of that class and it wasn't even close.

I think DT was standing closer to the camera in that one picture, which distorts differences in height.

Olivia has something vital that you can't teach Maturity.

As an aside, I was interested in Olivia's height. Olivia is not much taller than Diana at 6'0". Both were wearing sneakers. College players' heights are a very common area for teams to fudge numbers.
Diana is much taller in this photo. 😊

I know what you mean. I have a not necessarily reliable source for her height. It's UConn which has her at 6'4".
UConn women's basketball head coach Geno Auriemma announced the signing of center Olivia Vukosa to the Class of 2026 Wednesday.
A 6-foot-4 native of Whitestone, N.Y., Vukosa is the No. 3-ranked player on ESPN's SportsCenter NEXT 100 list. Earlier on Wednesday, Vukosa was named to the 2025-26 Naismith Trophy Girls High School Player of the Year Watch List.
