Forward Sedona Prince Uses Transfer Portal To Land With Oregon Ducks

Former Texas Forward and a former 5-Star Forward Sedona Prince is now an Oregon Duck with hopes of playing in 2019-20.

Head Coach Kelly Graves continues to recruit hard for his program and with everyone in the 2020 Recruiting Class having five-star status I did not think he could do much better. On Friday, Graves added Forward Sedona Prince to that list. She was initially set to suit up for Texas last season as a Freshman but broke her leg in Summer Competition. She never stepped on the court for the Longhorns.

Now, she has used the Transfer Portal to join Graves and the Oregon Ducks.

Prince will be expected to sit out a year for eligibility issues, but she is pushing hard for a waiver to play in 2019-20. The reason for her transfer is ‘medical reasons’, which is a bit of a head-scratcher.

She spoke with 247 Sports about her excitement about joining the Ducks, “For me, my medical was what wrong at Texas. I was trying to find a place where I felt comfortable and can live for the next four years and be and where my career and health will be the best… It’s kind of a perfect fit. I’m happy to be a Duck.”

In her final season in high school, Sedona Prince averaged over 22 points per game to go with 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and close to 5 blocks per contest. It is clear she wants to play in 2019 for the experience, but if she does not get the waiver, she will use that as motivation, “I left to be at a better place and in a better situation. So if I do sit another year, then that’s another year of practice, getting healthy and getting back to the player that I was and the player I want to be.”

As it stands, she will have to sit a season and will play for Oregon in the 2020 season, pending her waiver request.
