Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3734432, member: 7548"] Doug Bonjour article with some nice quotes [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fairfieldcitizenonline.com/uconn/article/UConn-women-get-commitment-from-nation-s-No-1-15719121.php[/URL] “You look at UConn and their history of amazing players, and just the development that those players have had, that was really big for me,” Fudd said. “But also, it’s nice that UConn’s closer to home, and I have two really good friends up there right now and another girl in my grade. “Getting to play in college and possibly winning national championships, and just to spend three or four years with some of my best friends, that was something I couldn’t turn down.” Fudd said she told UConn coach Geno Auriemma her decision “pretty recently.” The school officially announced her signing on Wednesday, along with the three other members of the class. “He was really excited,” Fudd said. “He was surprised when I told him because whenever they would ask me when I planned on signing, I never really had a set timetable. I always said, ‘Well, before I have to sign or before my birthday.’ ” Bueckers — Fudd’s good friend and her teammate with USA Basketball — had a slightly different reaction. “She cried a little bit,” Fudd said.
