Valpo’s 5-11 freshman wing brings upside, size, and a little sisterly chemistry
Nuala Connolly entered Valparaiso in 2025-26 as a 5-11 freshman G/F, and the early read from Valpo is clear: she’s a developmental wing with real long-term value, not just a roster filler[1][6][14]. Coaches described her as improving daily and called her a potential steal, noting she’s already navigated a few bumps in her basketball path and brings versatility, size, and a family connection to the program through sister Fiona[14]. That combination makes her intriguing for teams that want upside, toughness, and a player who may outgrow her current stats fast.
