Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3735029, member: 7548"] More quotes from the Athletic [URL unfurl="true"]https://theathletic.com/2192937/2020/11/11/uconn-azzi-fudd-recruiting/[/URL] “I remember I got chills watching their first practice,” Fudd said. “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ Just the way they run things, as soon as you step in the gym, you can tell it’s just different, like it’s a different level of focus. So it was always in the back of my head because, I mean, it’s UConn.” A couple of weeks ago, during an hours-long car ride with her parents, Fudd brought up the college decision and just started talking. Tim said it was a relief to finally hear her thoughts and to learn she was picking UConn. She then told UConn, speaking first with assistant Shea Ralph and next coach Geno Auriemma. Then she told Bueckers. “She started crying and, like, tearing up and she was like, ‘No way, you guys are joking,” Fudd said. [B]“To be the mean best friend I am, I said, ‘Just kidding,’ and she got so mad.[/B] But I told her it was real and so she was crying a little.” Tim laughed at that interaction, saying, “That didn’t go over well.” Despite how it looked in public — Bueckers used her social media at times to try to persuade her friend to choose the Huskies — [B]Tim said Bueckers was uncharacteristically quiet with Fudd, giving her space to make her decision.[/B] Fudd’s been texting and talking with her friends who are preparing for their college seasons. Bueckers’ messages, she said, have been the funniest and good reminders for her to enjoy the time she has before getting to UConn. “She’ll be like, ‘Oh we had such a hard practice,’” Fudd said. “I just laugh because that’s all I can do, because I’ll be there next year. I’ll be in the hard practice with her. So all I can do now is just laugh while I can.” [/QUOTE]
