Azzi Fudd Drops a Cryptic WNBA Update as Eyewitnesses Notice Strange Behavior From UConn Star's Family
The final buzzer sounds and the crowd erupts. Senior Night at Gampel Pavilion is always emotional, but this one feels different. Right at midcourt, Azzi Fudd stands with her parents and Geno Auriemma, soaking in the moment. Fans chant, “One more year! One more year!” hoping—praying—this isn’t her last dance in Storrs. And honestly? No one knows for sure.
Azzi Fudd was asked about returning for a fifth season, and her response left the door wide open. “We’ll see about the fifth year, but I’m so grateful for the time that I’ve had,” she said, per UConn SNY. It wasn’t exactly a confirmation, but it wasn’t a farewell either.
Her decision will have major implications for both UConn and the WNBA. If she stays, she could take on an even bigger role, especially with Paige Bueckers likely heading to the draft. If she leaves, she’s a projected first-round pick, known for her elite shooting. “The guys that are in her situation, there’s going to come a time when we absolutely positively have to know,” Auriemma said, per Daniel Connolly of UConn WBB Weekly.
Fudd later admitted she still had a lot to think about. “I think I have to sit down and talk with my family, with the people closest to me, and just talk through the decisions, options,” she told ESPN’s Alexa Philippou. “I’m a big pros and cons list-er to kind of get the emotions out, the feelings out, and just write down the facts. So I think a pros and cons list is in my near future.”
