The 6’7 center will be transferring from Texas to Oregon
Sedona Prince, of Liberty Hill, Texas, will be transferring from the University of Texas to the University of Oregon.
Prince, who was a top-10 recruit in the 2018 class, missed her entire freshman season at Texas after suffering a broken leg last August while playing for the USA U18 team.

The 6’7 center and former McDonald’s All-American is set to sit out the 2019-20 season due to transfer rules, and would be eligible for the 2020-2021 season. Prince, however, is challenging that, and has requested a waiver from the NCAA to be eligible to play immediately, according to Duck Territory. If deemed eligible, Prince would give head coach Kelly Graves and the Ducks, a dynamic inside presence to go along with Sabrina Ionescu on the outside.

If Prince isn’t granted the waiver, she will join one of the best recruiting classes in the country for the 2020-21 season. Currently five top-50 players in the 2020 class have committed to Oregon including Angela Dugalic, Sydney Parrish, Te-Hina Paopao, Maddie Scherr, and Kylee Watson.
Prince was also considering UConn and Notre Dame as potential destinations, but in the end, decided that Oregon was the best place for her. We will await more information on Prince’s waiver request to see if she will be immediately eligible, or if she will sit the upcoming season.
