The UConn Huskies had yet another strong season in 2023-24, reaching the Final Four for the 23rd time under head coach Geno Auriemma. They were, however, unable to win their first national title since 2015-16. The Huskies will enter the 2024-25 season as the championship favorites after Paige Bueckers opted to return to the team rather than enter the 2024 WNBA Draft. They will also get Azzi Fudd back after she missed most of last season with a torn ACL.
Take a look at the full list of players who have announced that they will not be back with UConn next season, as Auriemma looks to lead the program to their 12th national title since 1995.
