Paige coming back!! Aubrey too!! (Merged)

[EricSD]

How can you not get emotional at senior night??

Nika emotional, "we're not done yet". Thanked everyone in the world LOL

Liya "we're not done yet"

Aubrey - "I'm coming back"... crowd goes wild

Paige - "everyone wants me to address the elephant in the room. Unfortunately <crowd totally hushed>, this will NOT be my last senior night here!!!"

Crowd goes insane...!

Also wanted to add on edit - how great to see the love from the rest of the team? Caroline and Jana in tears. Everyone emotional. It's easy to forget these are just "kids" or young adults. Going thru so much and being in such a spotlight. LOVE this team so much!

 

[oldude]

[HuskyNan]

Never had a single doubt that Paige would pass up playing another year with Azzi. I mean she pretty much begged her to come join her.

 

[Plebe]

Luv ya Paige

 

[GG]

Yay!!!!!!!!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Happy as I was to have heard Aubrey yesterday? I was sad to see the others lifting their photos with no word.

 

[Valleyfan]

Wonderful news all around. Go get ‘em girls

 

[OviedoFLHusky]

What an incredibly special Senior Night ceremony this was -- even without the awesome announcements from Aubrey and Paige. These young women had such thoughtful, eloquent, and sincere comments. I hope they know that we love them right back! They are a credit to UConn and the coaching staff (as well as their families).

Excited for next year already!! Go Huskies!!!

I'm sure Paige really wants to get at least one full season in with her BFF Azzi Fudd.

 

[Hist-teacher]

I literally jumped out of my seat when Paige announced she was coming back next year! I'd heard about Aubrey during Geno's slip-up yesterday so I wasn't surprised. Two more to go! Nika and Aaliyah make it 4-4!

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

This is the best news I could possibly hear. I hope AE comes back as well. Nika would be a bonus.

 

[TheFarmFan]

Congrats y'all! Really delighted for UConn, as well as for all of us who get to watch her compete alongside Azzi. So pumped.

Hopefully the Paige announcement can Lure Sarah Strong In!

GO HUSKIES!!!!

 

[BBallF]

Just great, great news. So much to look forward to for next season and we still have so much left in this season!

Another year?

 

[mistabeez]

Wow huge especially for anyone who is thinking about going to UConn via transfer portal next season; considering that I live in WI and watched KK play in HS glad to see them play one more year together (that draft really would've been loaded had she not come back though it really will depend on what Reese and Clark will do) and add on Zibell from Neenah who is one of the top players in the state; have to commend her for making a decision rather earlier than later!

 

[UCMB88]

Bob and Debbie made a good point on the radio broadcast. Aaliyah and Nika are here on F-1 student visas (Canada and Croatia) and as such do not have the NIL opportunities that American students do. That will most likely play a big role in their decisions whether to return or to go pro.

Praying we get a chance for her to come back home and play with Phee.
