UConn’s injury-plagued 2022 recruiting class is now gone. On Wednesday, On3’s Talia Goodman reported that Ice Brady will enter transfer portal. Ayanna Patterson also departed on Monday.

Brady appeared in the first two games of the 2025-26 campaign before being sidelined by knee inflammation. Although Geno Auriemma initially described the issue as “nothing serious”, Brady never improved. She underwent season-ending surgery on the knee in February.

The No. 5 recruit in the class of 2022, Brady dislocated the patella in her right knee in October of her freshman year and missed the entire 2022-23 season. The San Diego native was never the same afterwards.

“That knee's just been bothering her for so long and it just kept holding her back,” Auriemma said in February.

Brady appeared in 73 games with the Huskies, recording 4.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 16.5 minutes. The high point of her career came in the 2024 Big East Tournament. After Aaliyah Edwards went down with a broken nose in the quarterfinals, Brady played every minute the rest of the way, averaging 10.3 points and 5.3 rebounds while landing on the all-tournament team.

After redshirting this past season, Brady will have two years of eligibility remaining.

When UConn signed Brady and Patterson in its 2022 recruiting class, it hoped the pair would form the team’s frontcourt of the future. That ultimately never materialized due to injury. Somehow, the two classmates played just one game together for a total of eight minutes in the Huskies’ win over Florida State on Nov. 9. Brady missed the entire 2022-23 campaign and most of the 2025-26 season while Patterson sat out in both 2023-24 and 2024-25.

With Brady and Patterson both in the transfer portal, UConn now has three scholarships open for next season.
