With Azura Stevens declaring for the WNBA Draft on Monday, the outlook for the 2018-2019 UConn women’s basketball season changes dramatically. Before her departure, the Huskies were probably slated to be in the top five at the start of the season.
Now, it’s easy to see UConn slipping further down after losing three of its top six players without obvious replacements on the roster or in the freshman class. The Huskies’ younger players will need to make significant improvements over the summer or Geno needs to bring in a grad transfer or two to have a team even near their typical standards.
