Overview
- Vukosa, a 6-foot-4 forward from Christ the King in Queens, chose UConn over South Carolina, Texas, LSU and Ohio State.
- She is UConn’s first 2026 commit and the program’s highest-ranked addition since Azzi Fudd signed in 2021.
- The Christ the King-to-UConn pipeline and a visit featuring alumni Tina Charles and Olivia Nelson-Ododa, plus proximity to family and a strong team vibe, were key factors she cited.
- The No. 1 post in ESPN’s 2026 rankings brings FIBA experience with Croatia, including 15.6 points and 9.1 rebounds at the 2025 U20 EuroBasket B Division, after a junior year of 19.2 points, 17.9 rebounds and New York Gatorade Player of the Year honors.
- Her commitment takes another top-four prospect off the board as UConn continues to pursue elite 2026 targets Jerzy Robinson and Addison Bjorn.
