Sat Mar 29 17:00:00 UTC 2025: ## WNBA Draft Prospects Weigh Sedona Prince’s Talent Against Off-Court Allegations

**Sedona Prince**, the 6-foot-7 TCU center and social media advocate for women’s college sports equality, is projected as a top WNBA draft pick in 2025. However, her impressive collegiate career – culminating in a Sweet 16 appearance with the Horned Frogs – is overshadowed by multiple allegations of domestic abuse.

Prince, 24, has had a circuitous path to the WNBA, playing for three colleges while battling injuries. This season, she’s been a dominant force, averaging 18.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game. Her talent, particularly her size, rim protection, and versatility, has impressed WNBA general managers. Several GMs interviewed anonymously by *The Athletic* stated that Prince’s skillset is “undeniable” and that she could be a first-round pick. Her coach, Mark Campbell, echoed this sentiment, comparing her to WNBA Finals MVP Jonquel Jones.

Despite her on-court success, Prince faces serious off-court concerns. Multiple former partners have accused her of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, allegations which Prince and her attorney deny. While no charges have been filed, these allegations, along with a January physical altercation with an ex-girlfriend, are a significant factor in the draft evaluation process.

The WNBA has a joint domestic violence policy with the WNBPA, but its application to college-level allegations is unprecedented. While some GMs expressed concerns, none definitively ruled out drafting Prince. They acknowledged the difficulty of conducting thorough investigations given the short timeframe between the NCAA tournament and the draft. The league’s past handling of domestic violence cases involving players like Riquna Williams and Brittney Griner offers a mixed precedent.

The situation highlights the complex balancing act faced by WNBA teams: weighing exceptional athletic talent against serious allegations. An online petition calling for Prince’s removal from TCU has garnered over 200,000 signatures, reflecting the intense public interest and debate surrounding her future. Ultimately, Prince’s draft position will hinge on how WNBA teams weigh her undeniable talent against the controversy surrounding her.
