It’s been a tough week to be a Longhorn fan.

A week after Texas Football lost its top overall recruit of the 2019 class, Texas Women’s Basketball finds itself in a similar predicament.

Sedona Prince, ESPN’s No. 8 overall prospect of the 2018 class, announced her transfer from Texas on Wednesday morning via Twitter.

“Thank you so much to the University of Texas for a fantastic year, but I have asked and received my transfer release due to medical reasons,” Prince said in a statement released on Twitter. “I appreciate your support Longhorn nation, and I’ll always be thankful for the love and acceptance I have received throughout this past year.”

Prince redshirted the 2018-19 season after suffering a leg injury that required multiple surgeries.

The former high school All-American was one of two five-star recruits in head coach Karen Aston’s incredibly strong 2018 recruiting class. Prince would have joined freshman standout Charli Collier and veteran Joyner Holmes in returning to the frontcourt. Prince’s transfer marks the second for Texas in the past year.

The Liberty Hill, Texas, native did not hint at any possible transfer destinations.

HornFans has some people who are really down on Aston. Losing a key prospect doesn't help. They think she can recruit, but not develop players. Where have I heard that before?

Before Aston, Texas had not been competitive in the Big Twelve since Conradt. They are now a consistent #2, or at least a challenger. But, I think Texas recruits and plays honestly.

Can't say that for the other team.

I think Texas should appreciate Aston.----for any Texas fans who might read this board.

I've always agreed that KA is a major under-achiever considering the amount of talent she brings in year in and year out. Second place in the Big 12 every season is not necessarily that tough with that much talent, it's making those dozen AA into collegiate stars and getting to the elite eight, final four is a different story and therein lies the frustration with her. I just wish SC recruited half as well as Aston because I think ultimately when she does have a good or compareable level of talent she has done more than Aston has.

"For a student-athlete who transfers to a member institution for reasons of health." Such a waiver request must be instituted by the original (transfer-from) institution and be supported by recommendations by that institution's team physician or by the student's personal physician.

Is this why Prince had a transfer for medical reasons?

Looks like she has visited UConn, Notre Dame, and up next Oregon.

I think she is the only big UConn is offering.
