Allison Feaster addressed Sarah Strong NIL concerns

Sarah Strong was the No. 1-ranked prospect in the country in the class of 2024 according to ESPN and was highly recruited by several elite programs. Her final two choices came down to either coach Geno Auriemma's UConn Huskies or coach Dawn Staley's South Carolina Gamecocks.

Strong chose the Huskies even though Staley was a teammate of her mother, Allison Feaster during her WNBA career. During an interview with CNBC's Alex Sherman in May, Feaster dismissed speculation that her daughter joined UConn due to the massive NIL opportunities available at the program (1:47).

"Absolutely zero factor in her decision-making process and choosing UConn," Feaster said. "I think you know much about us as parents and Sarah as a student, as an athlete, it was that zero focus was on that we've always had.

"We've always thought that if the basketball prowess, if the basketball accolades are there, the talent, the skill level and some minimum baseline marketability that you will have access to amazing NIL opportunities, but you choose UConn for the opportunity to win the title."

Alongside UConn standouts Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers, Sarah Strong cut a niche for herself as one of the best players in the country last season as the trio led the Huskies to their first national championship in nine years.

As a result of her dominance on the court last season, Strong was among a select group of 13 players chosen for the prestigious 'Future is Unrivaled' class of 2025 NIL deal, showcasing her status in college basketball circles.
