Sedona Prince Sends Blunt Message After Going Undrafted in WNBA Draft

During Monday's WNBA draft, there were a total of 38 players who were selected and saw their dreams become a reality.

One player who did not hear her name called was TCU's All-Big 12 center, Sedona Prince. Before the draft, Bleacher Report's Rachel Galligan ranked her as the No. 13 prospect in the class, citing her ability to utilize her size at 6-foot-7 to be disruptive on defense while also being effective on offense.

However, as reported by ESPN during the draft, assault accusations from four women deterred teams from selecting her. While Prince was quiet on draft night, she took to social media in the days after with an Instagram story showing her dunking in a workout.

At the bottom of the video, Prince wrote "not too shabby" while a voice in the background, presumably Prince, giggled and said the same thing.

At this time, it is unclear if Prince will be given an opportunity by an WNBA team, but she has maintained throughout the process that she has never abused anyone in any way. 

"I've never abused anybody emotionally, physically, mentally, verbally," Prince said in a statement via ESPN. That's not me, and that's not what I've done. That's not who I am."

Amid the allegations, a petition to have her dismissed by the TCU basketball team was started by fans and received over 200,000 signatures. Her attorney, A. Boone Almanza, released a statement to ESPN earlier in the week, denying all of the allegations.

"Sedona has not been charged with a crime or found guilty of any wrongdoing," he told ESPN. "Rather she has been convicted on social media by people who have attempted to use their relationship with Sedona to attract followers and to build their influencer careers and settle grudges. To the extent she has made any mistakes different from other young people in their early dating life it was solely the decision to be on TikTok."

Only time will tell if Prince is given a chance with the WNBA's preseason set to begin on May 2, but clearly she is still hoping for one.
