The 2025 WNBA Draft brought the expected flurry of excitement and hope for many college stars.
But for TCU center Sedona Prince, it was a night of silence.
Made a statement! Hailey Van Lith rocks a black dress that turns head at the WNBA Draft
Sedona Prince’s off-court drama made teams take a pass
Once projected as a potential late first-round pick, the 6-foot-7 standout was left undrafted, a surprising twist given her rare size, collegiate success, and high postseason profile.
Prince, who helped lead the Horned Frogs to their first-ever Elite Eight appearance this past March, came into the draft with a complex profile.
While her on-court contributions during March Madness turned heads, including a 21-point performance against Notre Dame, she entered the night carrying the weight of controversy.
Multiple allegations of sexual and physical abuse from past partners have followed Prince in recent years.
ESPN reported that at least four women had accused her of intimate partner violence.
Prince has denied all claims and has not been charged with any crimes.
Her attorney, A. Boone Almanza, issued a statement before the draft dismissing the allegations as online smears, attributing the backlash to social media dynamics rather than legal wrongdoing.
Still, the accusations, combined with Prince’s injury history and age, she turns 25 in May, made her one of the draft’s riskiest prospects.
Despite being featured in several mock drafts, including a late first-round projection by Yahoo Sports, no WNBA team opted to take the gamble.
Prince’s college career was anything but traditional.
Spanning seven years and three schools, it included multiple NCAA waivers and a severe leg injury suffered while training with the U.S. national team before her freshman year.
Even during TCU’s postseason run, inconsistency marked her play, including a four-point, foul-troubled showing in their Elite Eight loss to Texas.
As ESPN analyst Ryan Ruocco addressed the allegations live during the draft, complete with an on-screen graphic, reactions on social media were swift and divided.
Some viewers praised the transparency, while others were stunned by the public callout on national television.
Whether Prince finds a path into the league through training camps or free agency remains to be seen.
For now, her absence on draft night is a reminder that talent alone doesn’t guarantee a place in the pros, especially when off-court issues cloud the picture.

2025 NFL Draft Day 2 winners and losers: Steelers still need a QB; Shedeur Sanders’ free fall continues
Getty Images For the second straight day, the biggest story at the NFL Draft continues to be Shedeur Sanders. It wasn't a total shock to see him fall out of the first round on Thursday, but it was absolutely stunning to see him go undrafted on Day 2. There were a total of 70 picks made on Friday, and although three of them were quarterbacks, Sanders' name didn't get called. Yes, the free fall is continuing for Sanders, but he's not the only one who had a bad night. Let's go over our winners and losers from Friday. WINNERS CJ Stroud. It seems like the Texans' only goal in this draft was to make life easier for Stroud. After trading out of the first round, the Texans didn't get to make their first pick until Friday and they made the most of it. […]
NASCAR at Talladega: Where to watch, live stream, lineup, race preview, pick to win for the Jack Link’s 500
Getty Images LINCOLN, Ala. -- Of all racetracks across the globe where racers dare to go as fast as possible, none inspires more awe and produces a more awesome spectacle of speed than Talladega Superspeedway. Nestled in the forests of Alabama, Talladega sticks out as a massive asphalt battleground. Around its 2.66-mile length and up on top of its 33-degree banking, nowhere in the world do race cars go as fast as closely together as they do here.For the first time in 2025, the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series will screw their courage to the sticking place and try to stick at the front of the lead pack in the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega. With the field constantly three-wide and even four-wide inches apart at the highest speeds possible, Talladega is one of the most mentally demanding racetracks […]
Giants’ Brian Daboll was reportedly one coach who had negative experience with Shedeur Sanders
Getty Images As Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders continues his historical draft tumble, more details are emerging as to why this is happening. According to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones, Sanders' slide is a reflection of how he carried himself through the pre-draft process. An unnamed coach even told NFL Media that his interview with Sanders was "the worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life," which leads to several other questions: Did Sanders struggle in every interview? Did he purposefully bomb interviews with teams he didn't want to go to? Todd McShay of The Ringer reported recently that Sanders' interview with the New York Giants and Brian Daboll was one that did not go well."Shedeur didn't have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit," McShay said. "An install package came in. Preparation wasn't there for it. [He] […]

Jerry Jones blasts NFL after Shedeur Sanders snub: “I know what a winner he is”
Jerry Jones is outraged over the NFL's decision to pass on Shedeur Sanders in the draft. After the former Colorado star slipped to the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys owner was quick to praise the young quarterback and question why teams overlooked him for so long. The Sanders saga began well before draft day. The former Buffaloes quarterback finished his college career as one of the top prospects, but as the weeks went by, his stock declined, and by draft day, his fate was among the most uncertain of the elite candidates. Rumors of character flaws and poor interviews with team executives severely damaged Sanders' reputation. Scouting reports highlighted issues such as inconsistent rhythm, a weaker-than-expected arm for an NFL starter, and below-average size for a professional quarterback.
