LSU star Angel Reese declares for this month’s WNBA draft

LSU women’s basketball star Angel Reese announced Wednesday in an interview with “Vogue” that she is entering this month’s WNBA draft.
Reese, whose final college season ended Monday night in a loss to Iowa in the NCAA tournament’s Elite Eight, led the Tigers to a national championship last year.


“I’ve done everything I wanted to in college,” Reese said in the interview. “I’ve won a national championship. I’ve gotten SEC player of the year. I’ve been an all-American. My ultimate goal is to be a pro — and to be one of the greatest basketball players to play, ever. I feel like I’m ready.”
Reese joins Iowa star Caitlin Clark, Stanford’s Cameron Brink, Tennessee’s Rickea Jackson and South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso among the top players in the April 15 draft.


She gets a lot of hate thrown her way. She's earned a lot of it, but now that Iowa has beaten them I will probably root for her in the WNBA.
 
She's been in school 4 years what makes you think she isn't getting or doesn't have her degree?
A lot of the chatter last year was that she wasn't eligible for several of the major postseason awards because she didn't meet the GPA requirements.
 
If she can get one, she may need it later in life. I don't see her lasting long in the WNBA.
Maybe. But with a $2 million NIL deal, and what's sure to be more, it doesn't seem like she'll have to apply to work at Geico's billing department in the future.

Won't disagree with you on that.
Will be interesting if she is smart enough to be/find a good money manager.
Lots of millionaires go broke.
Someday we all might find out, but then maybe not.

"Lots of millionaires go broke"... I can think of a current rich, broke guy right now. 😅 Tacky sneakers and bibles say, what??

She will make some serious coin.....but I could easily see her in a decade weighing 350 with a half dozen kids. Probably have a Go Fund Me just to afford her eyelashes.
 
I'll tell you one thing, I've only driven through Iowa once and haven't spent any quality time there. I've never personally known an Iowan other than reading this board. I usually think the best of people and assume that Iowans are great people.

But this women's basketball thing has REALLY brought out the ugly in Iowans. I've actually found myself sort of rooting against the Hawkeyes. The venom that's been thrown at this kid has been pretty unnecessary.

Surely Iowans are better than this. Maybe not.

In my experience, anonymous posters on internet message boards have no correlation to a state’s general populace.
 
With Boston and Clark they already have an insane future. If they somehow added Reese they’d be unstoppable in a couple years
Reese has no post moves or and can't shoot. She gets by on her size and length in the college game.

She'll be going up against players as big and as athletic as she is in the WNBA. She better develop her post moves and shot or she'll be on the bench.

Rodman got through a great cure on athleticism, rebounding, and defense. She can too.
 
I'm skeptical...she's no Rodman :)

She can't guard anyone away from the basket. Rodman was an elite defender.
She’s pretty dang good. I think a lot of people here dismiss her because of the heat she gave Clark. She like a draymond and Rodman mashup with a lot of talent and a lot of potential. She could also just end up on OF. We’ll see.

What percentage would you say have posted unfounded things about Reese?

I would think Trump’s popularity would be a bigger indicator about the character of the people in the state.

I think Angel doubled down on the badass image when they were winning, because it was easy and cool. Once they lost, that badass image isn't so easy a look, and it's much easier to double down on the I'm a victim, poor me look. How about just staying classy win or lose?
 
Retarded whore now throwing shade on Iowa's great victory all over social media. Die of an OD under a bride you pea brained slut..........

She is 6-3. She is a great jumper and a quick jumper. She is slow.

The NBA has a shit ton of skilled bigs. It’s what the college level has pumped out for years.

No clue if she will be an elite player.


I absolutely see her having a only fans quickly
 
How long before she gets arrested carrying weed into a foreign country?
