The UConn Huskies women’s basketball program picked up a big-name recruit.

What’s new?

On Tuesday, the Huskies landed a commitment from Olivia Vukosa.

Vukosa is a 6-foot-4 post player from Whitestone, New York, who is currently a senior at Christ the King in Queens.

UConn has landed both Sue Bird and Tina Charles from CTK in the past.

“I have seen Coach Mackey and Deluca prepare girls for college and seen Coach Geno prepare those girls for the next level,” Vukosa told ESPN. “And many of these girls have followed the path of Christ the King and UConn, and now I want to follow that legacy. Another big factor was UConn’s location; it allows my family to come support me easily, no matter the game or time. Ultimately, what sealed my decision was how I felt around the team. During my visit, the players welcomed me like I was already part of the family, and that sense of belonging made UConn truly feel like home.”
