Sedona Prince Goes Undrafted in 2025 WNBA Draft Despite Talent and Size
The 2025 WNBA Draft concluded Monday with several high-profile NCAA stars finding new homes in the league. But one name notably absent from the draft board was TCU center Sedona Prince.
Despite standing at 6-foot-7 — a rare frame for the WNBA — and producing strong numbers during the season, Prince remained undrafted. Her talent was never the question, but controversy and concerns loomed large. Multiple former partners have accused Prince of both physical and sexual abuse, and she also carries an extensive injury history. At nearly 25 years old, she would have been one of the oldest rookies in the league.
Still, many draft projections had Prince being selected, at least in the second round. Yahoo Sports’ final mock draft even pegged her as a potential late first-round pick.
Instead, it was her TCU teammates who heard their names called. Hailey Van Lith was selected 11th overall by the Chicago Sky, while guard Madison Conner was taken in the third round by the Seattle Storm. But no team was willing to take a chance on Prince.
Had she been drafted, Prince’s path to the WNBA would have been anything but traditional. She spent seven years in college basketball across three programs, finishing her career at TCU as a grad transfer after receiving multiple NCAA waivers. Her career has been marred by injuries, most notably a broken leg while preparing for her freshman season at Texas.
Her age became a sticking point among league executives. One anonymous GM told ESPN last week that evaluating Prince was difficult due to the age gap between her and many of her opponents.
“She’s like a 24-year-old going up against 18-year-olds,” the GM said. “You just don’t know if she’s truly that dominant or just more physically mature than everyone else.”
Beyond that, the off-court allegations further complicated her draft stock. Four women have come forward in the last year, two accusing her of sexual misconduct and two alleging physical abuse. A Change.org petition calling for TCU to remove Prince from the team garnered over 200,000 signatures, though the university never took action.
Despite the controversy, Prince and Van Lith helped lead TCU to its first-ever Elite Eight appearance. Prince had a strong March Madness showing overall — averaging 15 points per game and scoring 21 in the Sweet 16 win over Notre Dame — but struggled mightily in the Elite Eight loss to Texas, finishing with just four points before fouling out in the fourth quarter.
While some WNBA general managers expressed anonymous interest in Prince, none were willing to follow through on draft night — a silence that spoke volumes.
