I've been watching my local girl since she was in 9th grade. She is one of the best hoopers and sweetest people. I hope she shows the Boneyard how great she is.

Azzi Fudd locked in for UConn women's basketball title defense
AZZI FUDD LOOKS over her cards and refers to my handwritten instructions for a game called Dinger that she has never played before this early October morning. Wearing gray sweatpants with a pink sweatshirt at UConn's practice facility, she recalls how she spent her childhood summers playing Uno and other card games at her grandparents' lake house in Minnesota. She tells me how she quickly picked up the game of Spades last summer while she was waiting in an airport lounge in China with Stephen Curry.Fudd squints at her hand, looks up and then starts laying down cards, one after the other.
The 5-foot-11 guard led UConn to its 12th national championship last season and was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. Since then, she wowed at New York Fashion Week, launched a podcast, took a Caribbean cruise and hobnobbed with Curry on the other side of the globe.
She spent the summer much as she has spent every other summer, working to perfect a game that has peaked mostly in quiet gyms in front of well-trained eyes.
Now, after deciding the WNBA can wait, Fudd is back in Storrs, dropping cards as if they're burning her fingers. She wants all the minutes she can get during her final season in college after knee and foot injuries cut short her first three years. She wants to help UConn become the first repeat champion since the Huskies won four in a row from 2013 to 2016. "Obviously," she says. She wants to get more vocal on the court and more versatile with the ball.
The real Azzi Fudd? 'None of you have seen it'
The Most Outstanding Player of last year's Final Four has shown her peak powers only in small glimpses. Now Azzi Fudd is ready to level up for the Huskies' repeat bid.

It appears the decision for Azzi to come back for this season was made between the BE Tourney and the NCAA Tourney during the discussion between Geno & Azzi (buried in the article.Azzi Fudd locked in for UConn women's basketball title defense

I believe the transformation was locked in when Geno drew up the elevator screen for Azzi in the Regional finals. She has been on fire ever since due to the confidence that Geno has in her, and the exuberance the rest of the team had after she splashed the three with nothing but net was the positive encouragement that she needed to breakout.
Not much more waiting time to see that Azzi is ready to show her outstanding consistency.
Go Huskies!!!
