It's silly for me to throw Fiso's name out.
I just hope that someone at UCLA is looking closely at who we might bring in. We've got Sienna, Muse, Bilic, and the Swedish guard coming back. And, it looks like our recruiting is dead in the water. Other teams are locking up the 2026 class. I don't think we have anyone committed.
So, we're going to need like 7 new players. And, the ones that are going to contribute are going to have to be portals or imports.
So, silly as it is, I'm wasting mental energy on "what players could we entice over that are low key damn good." The other one I thing would be a great poach is Fournier from Duke. She's a player.
I know this is all crazy unrealistic as far as targeting portal people that aren't even in the portal on a chatboard. But, dude, we're probably going to be lucky to be ranked next season. We've got 2 players that will be good, no recruiting class, and no likelihood that a recruit that could come in and play on a top-20 team will be arriving. Next season, we're going to go as far as our portals/imports will allow us. And, UCLA is not going to throw money around to get in high profile portal players. Frankly, Fiso and Fournier would probably be too expensive. My guess is that Cori is going to "pull a Mick" and go suuuuuuper heavy into imported players next season.
