No. 3 2026 Recruit Olivia Vukosa Commits to UConn

Her choice reflects UConn’s longstanding pipeline from Christ the King to Storrs.

Overview

  • The 6-foot-4 forward from Christ the King in Queens chose the Huskies over LSU, Ohio State, Texas and South Carolina.
  • Vukosa is UConn’s first Class of 2026 commitment and the program’s highest-ranked pledge since Azzi Fudd.
  • She brings extensive international experience with Croatia, including averages of 15.6 points and 9.1 rebounds at the 2025 U20 EuroBasket B Division.
  • As a junior, she averaged 19.2 points, 17.9 rebounds, 5.5 blocks and 3.8 assists and was New York’s Gatorade Player of the Year.
  • Her commitment takes the top four 2026 recruits off the board, and UConn remains in the mix for No. 5 Jerzy Robinson and No. 10 Addison Bjorn.
