As the camera panned across the buzzing crowd at The Shed in New York City during the WNBA Draft, one person’s absence felt louder than any applause. Sedona Prince, who just led her team to their first-ever Elite Eight and averaged a strong 17.2 points per game, wasn’t in the room. And when her name didn’t come up, not even in the final round, fans online couldn’t help but notice.
Her social media was quiet, maybe too quiet. No reaction videos, no cryptic tweets. Just silence. And for many, that said it all. All this comes up when the TCU standout had always been more than just a basketball player. Back in 2021, she became a national voice for gender equity in college sports when she exposed the laughable difference between the men’s and women’s weight rooms at the NCAA tournament.
Her TikTok went viral overnight and sparked a movement. Because of her, the NCAA was forced to investigate its own inequities and finally let the women’s tournament use the “March Madness” brand, and even changed how funding is distributed.
She used her platform, unapologetically. But maybe that’s also where things got complicated. Even when she went undrafted, she once again used her social media. But this time it was to delete the post in which she declared about the WNBA draft.
