With Paige Bueckers drafted into the WNBA, the torch is passed to Azzi Fudd, now 22, who must embrace her role not only as a star shooter, but as the leader of the Huskies.

Expectations are sky-high: a national championship run feels within reach. But everything shifts when a surprise transfer arrives: Alyssa Miller, a 22-year-old with undeniable talent and a sharp edge. From her first practice, she stuns teammates and turns heads. Yet Alyssa carries a secret that could change everything: she is the hidden granddaughter of legendary coach Geno Auriemma. Nobody knows. Not the media. Not the team. Not even Azzi-yet.
