UConn star Morgan Tuck to enter WNBA draft

UConn star Morgan Tuck has made it official, she will forego an extra year of eligibility and make herself available for the WNBA draft.

Tuck told ESPN on Wednesday that she ''won't be returning to UConn'' and will enter ''the draft this year.''

Tuck came to UConn in the same class as seniors Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson. She was granted an extra year of eligibility after knee problems meant surgery and missing most of her sophomore season.

The All-American has said doctors told her she has the knees of a middle-aged woman. So she's decided to play as many years as possible as a pro rather than come back to try for a record fifth national title.
