Azzi Fudd to UCONN

[Dillon77]

Note to Niele Ivey, Dawn Staley, Kim Mulkey, etc: You're gonna need a bigger recruiting class.



Congrats to Azzi Fudd & Family, Geno & Chris and all the UConn faithful.

p.s. I've gotta find a big boat to fit any and all of Lauren Betts, Timea Gardiner & Ayanna Patterson to join Olivia Miles and Sonia Citron for the Irish. Whew, even if and when...tough sailing ahead.

Lord I'll be good, just let me see her play her college games. I want to see her help UConn win their National Championships with her and Paige. Amen

[DeeHusky]

Duh!

 

[BobbyJ]

A real shocker. Has to be the surprise of the year. Poor Magruber tried but was rejected.

UConn women land No. 1 prospect Azzi Fudd

Her first scholarship offer came when she was 12. On Wednesday, Azzi Fudd turned 18 and marked the occasion by signing her national letter of intent to play for UConn.

www.espn.com

Azzi Fudd, the consensus top women's basketball prospect in the Class of 2021, ended years of speculation on Wednesday, announcing that she will attend UConn in the fall, joining one of the most dynastic programs in the history of sports.

So how many championships does Fudd want?

"Well, obviously four," she said.

It’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood ~ Mister Rogers.

 

[Hayven]

I wonder if Geno will say Azzi is a Kardashian too

 

[Dove]

Imagine if her mom's favorite player was Rebecca Lobo.

ESPNW HoopGuriz quickly adds Azzi to UConn now.

From ESPN article announcing Azzi's decision:

"So how many championships does Fudd want?

"Well, obviously four," she said."

 

[EricLA]

Congrats Azzi! You get to play with your best friend, learn from the best coaching staff, and UCONN will officially be bad for basketball for many years to come. I hope all your personal and basketball dreams come true!

ESPN HG wasted no time - she's already listed as choosing UCONN.

Interesting factoid - if the NCAA does indeed allow every winter sport player an extra year eligibility, Paige and Azzi could play together 4 years.

UCONN fans can now exhale... I bet this will be the longest thread in history.

 

[Centerstream]

So UConn will have 14 players in 2021-2020.

Isn't Evina eligible for the WNBA after this season? If so, and she is projected as a high draft pick, I would think that she would enter the draft.
On second thought, we probably need a new thread to discuss this.

So UConn will have 14 players in 2021-2020.

In 2021-2022 the UConn bench will be ranked in the top 25.

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

Who is this Azzi kid? Is she any good?

 

[eebmg]

In 2021-2022 the UConn bench will be ranked in the top 25.

and I am guessing Autumn will be the best Walk on in the country.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I like that they stopped to take questions from viewers. Down to earth, simple, fast. loled at "don't know if Paige knows, this might be a surprise for her too" heheh

Judging from comments, most of the team were following the IG feed. They must have jumped out of their chairs!

 

[eebmg]

Oh, Almost Forgot. Caroline and Saylor signing today. Tough act to follow.

 

[Kevin G]

Damn! UCONN just got scary good....again! Welcome Azzi

 

[ucbart]

In 2021-2022 the UConn bench will be ranked in the top 25.

Stop it. That was said MULTIPLE times during the 2000-2001 season and look how that turned out.

 

[psconn]

Holy smoke! SO. MANY. GUARDS!

 

[CocoHusky]

So UConn will have 14 players in 2021-2020.

15 if Evina decides to stay and the rosters will also be expanded beyond 15 because of COVID.

 

[CL82]

I...uh, I... have... no... words...

That is an unreal amount of talent.

(still doomed though.)

 

[MilfordHusky]

Nah best response was when she was asked what’s she’s going to major in... she said “Basketball”

Under Professor Auriemma.
