Lunan pinned this on her X page on Apr. 9. If you read the top of the post you'll see that she lumped together offers and "interest". Means she got some early interest letters or emails. Some kids do this for embellishment. I believe there's nothing to see here. Thanks so much. Really helpful. That may explain how UConn was brought into Leah Macy speculation, even though there is no evidence that UConn ever offered her. Great points.

2025 The Huskies now have their eyes on another international prospect: Lara Somfai, an Australian currently playing at IMG Academy in Florida.
Somfai included UConn in her list of finalists along with Duke, Stanford, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech and visited Storrs during the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Listed at 6-4, Somfai is rated as the No. 33 player in the class of 2025 by ESPN. She’s high school teammates with Kelis Fisher, a fellow ‘25 prospect committed to the Huskies.
The Huskies still have a couple of public targets in the rising senior class:
Zakiyah Johnson (No. 7) has an offer from UConn, along with most other top schools in the nation. She’s a guard and is also from Kentucky.
Brynn McGaughy (No. 17) is a 6-3 post player out of Washington state. She put the Huskies on her list of finalists and has publicly stated that UConn is her “dream school.” UConn doesn’t have a 2026 commitment yet, but nobody in ESPN’s Top 25 for that graduation year has picked a school either.
2026
While UConn’s activity in the transfer portal has garnered more attention, the team remains on the hunt for future freshmen. Jacy Abii, the No. 5 player in the class of 2026, recently announced that she received an offer from the Huskies.
Jerzy Robinsin (No. 1), holds an offer from UConn. She’s a 6-foot guard out of California.
Olivia Vukosa (No. 2) is a 6-4 post player from Christ The King in New York who has visited Storrs on multiple occasions and also received an offer.
Saniyah Hall (No. 3) is a 6-foot guard from Ohio with an offer from the Huskies.
McKenna Woliczko (No. 6) doesn’t publicly have an offer from Geno Auriemma and company, but the staff has seen her play and she’s a high school teammate of incoming freshman Morgan Cheli.
Addison Bjorn (No. 10) has made at least two visits despite hailing from Missouri. The 6-1 guard also has an offer from UConn.

Me likey Somfai. Be nice to final get an Aussie lass. I thought she went elsewhere, but I see in March she cut to Top 5. UConn, Duke, Tenn, Stanford and V Tech.

Softball is very entertaining! I find very few sports as boring. Still don't know why they just don't play baseball. But then again, I probably wouldn't watch that either. I'm not much of a target audience anyway, so it don't matter much what I think. I agree. Sorry, you threw me a softball.

See, there is no off season. We find stuff to talk and argue about every day. Literally every day. I know one thing, Somfai and McGaughy are two of OUR top targets, as if we had a say in it.

Two cups of coffee in a row so I may be hallucinating. Ventured over to TOB and saw a name on the prospect list that I had not seen before. Apologies if you guys have talked about her. Ella Peper, 6'3/6'4 incoming High School Freshman class of 28. Hometown Newton, Ma goes to Dexter Southfield High School in Brookline. Started for the Varsity as an 8th grader. Saw videos, sacrilege to say this but I think I just saw the second coming. The original was on tv last night for the Liberty. Please tell me it was the coffee, if not Morgan or Tonya need to rent a room in Newton.

Hopefully Gandy will face some other talented bigs on the summer circuit to get use to the idea that in college other players are just as big as she is. It sounds like she may be morphing from project to real prospect. Don't wanna get my hopes up, but man, how great would that be if she did become a force in the paint?
