Azzi Fudd, Top Recruit in Class of 2021, Commits to UConn

Azzi Fudd, the consensus No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2021, has committed to play college basketball at UConn.

Fudd made the announcement on the first day of the early signing period, which also marked her 18th birthday.

"I know I want to be somewhere that I’m going to be proud where I am the next four years and also look back and be happy with the decision and know I made the best decision for myself,” Fudd said Wednesday.

A 5' 11" combo guard, Azzi was named the 2018-2019 Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year—the first to earn the honor as a sophomore—when she averaged 26.
