Fans were jubilant on social media after controversial TCU center Sedona Prince wasn't picked in the 2025 WNBA draft on Monday in Manhattan amid mock draft projections of her being selected in the first round.

Prince, 25, was one of the key players in TCU's run in the 2024-25 women's college basketball season and the 2025 NCAA Tournament, helping the Horned Frogs qualify for the Elite Eight. However, she was accused of a string of abuse violations by her former partners since 2019, which may have affected her draft stock and a possible selection in Monday's draft.

Per ESPN, four women have accused Prince of "sexual assault or intimate partner violence." The alleged incidents happened during her time at Oregon and TCU. Prince, who has not been charged with any crime, has denied all allegations and has said she has never “abused anyone in her life, whether mentally, emotionally or physically.”

Basketball enthusiasts reacted on X (formerly Twitter) after WNBA teams ignored Prince in the draft, and a sports analyst "dragged" her until the last pick was made on live television.

"LMAO. The W said we don’t want no old a** abuser, hard pass. 👋🏽 Sedona Prince," a fan wrote on X.

"Damn, they didn’t have to give a Monologue like Sedona Prince just passed away! The dramatic fade out is crazy 😩😂," a college hoops follower pointed out.

Ruocco mentioned during a live TV broadcast that the allegations against her could be what the teams were looking at aside from her age and injury history.


Possible outcomes for Sedona Prince after 2025 WNBA draft snub

Sedona Prince may have been undrafted in this year's WNBA draft, but all is not lost for her as far as her basketball career is concerned. The TCU center could still be hired by a WNBA team as a free agent this season.

Prince could also play in the European, Asian and South American circuits as their international import. Kamilla Cardoso played for the Women's Chinese Basketball Association for the Shanghai Swordfish during the offseason.

Lastly, Prince could apply to be part of the TCU Horned Frogs coaching staff or other NCAA Division I teams while waiting for a program that will need her services. Some players redeemed themselves following a controversial event and became successful in other teams or ventures.

All is not lost for Sedona Prince, and she just needs a chance at redemption, as she hasn't been charged with any allegations.
